1 | What is 'the fruit of the vine'? | Matt 26:29 | Hank | 34684 | ||
My dear Brian, to disagree with me makes you neither a hopeless degenerate nor places your name on my hit list! You say that "most men have common sense, and they are able to reason." You may find that to be true in your area, but in my neck of the woods common sense is not so common, and reason is all too frequently overshadowed by whim, caprice, passion, appetite, and political correctness. In your last statement, citing John 2:1-10, you said, "Jesus recognized that man does have free will to decide." Brian, not trying to be contentious, I don't see the link between your statement and the Scripture passage you referenced. While I don't necessarily refute your statement, as you used it in this context, that Jesus recognizes that man does have free will to decide, try telling that to the five-point Calvinists! --Hank | ||||||

Hank I was hoping the common sense people were in your area, some days I have trouble finding them out by me. I put the John 2 in the wrong area (I edited wrong), it should have been put in the paragraph about Jesus making wine. Sorry. As far as free will and Calvinist, not today - I don't have the energy, I'm tired. By the way, I have also seen many lives destroyed by the bottle. There are no words to describe the human destruction and pain it causes. I have to tell you something. When I was growing up, our neighbor was a Baptist minister. He and I spent quite a bit of time talking. He was a good man, I had a great deal of respect for him, and I wish my children could have known him. I see a lot of him, in your posts. Brian |

Brian, your exceeding kindness is eclipsed only by your extravagant flattery! Truth to tell, there is no one besides you with whom I enjoy more the civil exchange of ideas and viewpoints. You are truly a fine example of gentleness and grace and I commend your posts to the attention of some of our less tactful brothers and sisters, including myself, who would do well to follow in the good pattern that you so many times have illustrated amply to this forum. --Hank | ||||||
