1 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | Hank | 186953 | ||
All very interesting, Sir Brain, but on this side of the pond, at the little red school house where I learned to read, they didn't offer Readingbetweenthelines 101. Later on by the time I attended Graduate School (seventh grade), at the age of 27, I took the course, but by then I was too old to adapt very well to new concepts, so I never got the hang of Readingbetweenthelines. All I was ever able to see between the lines was blank space. That, and nothing more. But apparently some folks get pretty good at this between-the-lines reading, especially when it comes to Scripture. I know it puts no stars in my crown to envy, and I should shun it, but sometimes I do envy those sage expositors who apparently can get so much out of what they read between the lines. It must be fascinating reading, and some people make a career of it. But, poor me, here I sit, stuck with the ability merely to read what Scripture says on the lines. I must confess that it excites my imagination when I hear of all this exciting action that goes on between the lines. People who have this marvelous gift of reading between the lines have no idea of how limited we dunderheads are who have to depend on what God says on the lines! But I guess we'll have to make do with the limited abilities we have and thank God for giving us even that much. --Hank | ||||||

Hi Hank. Thank you so much for your kind words of support, which I find most informative, and very encouraging. Allow me to make a statement that I know you will wholeheartedly agree with, and then let me ask you ask you a question. Firstly the statement. Adam was made, sinlessly perfect, in the image of God, and after His likeness, also Adam was not deceived. And now the question. What sort of image of God, did Adam who was sinlessly perfect, and not deceived give? ebrain. |

ebrain - My words of support, you say? Support? I suppose the irony in my remarks about your speculation got lost in translation. I wrote it inAmerican English and you read it in British English. ...... Sir, what I wrote was not intended to lend encouragement to your musings and free-wheeling verbal meaneerings. On the contrary, it was pure satire. Frankly I was poking fun at your flights of fancy, not praising them. I had rather hoped that my post would dispel your reveries and serve to jar you back on the track of orthodoxy. not egg you on to play more games of "Let's Pretend." ...... I'll pass on the question you posed to me. Though I'm getting on in years, I don't have the distinction of having known Adam personally, so I really have no idea of what image of God Adam gave. ..... I take issue, by the way, with your presentation (in another post) of speculation as having the fine attributes you assign to it. From speculation to theological nonsense is a very short path and a virtually certain one. I've been able to avoid speculation to some extent by making myself a promise that I will hold off on speculating about what the Bible doesn't make clear until I master all tha things that the Bible does not make clear. It works for me. Why don't you try it sometime? --Hank | ||||||
4 | Would Adam and Eve have fallen? | Gen 3:13 | ebrain | 187035 | ||
Your post of 8.06 pm yesterday confirms what I suspected, that your previous one was nothing more than pure sarcasm. Many visitors to this site, who are looking for help, and advice, will have and concluded that Christians are compassionate, and love one another.. What do you suppose they will think when they read material like yours, which is both uncalled for, and insulting to the recipient. |
