In the Andes and McGracer, Praise be to God our Father and His Son Jesus Christ to whom all power has been given in Heaven and earth! Just a note, please keep in mind that I am no expert, to say that I am so very THANKFUL for the gospels! Most of the scripture verses that were quoted to me by the person who led my to Jesus were from the 4 gospels. McGracer, You write to Emmaus: "Therefore, to insist that the Gospels have primacy over the rest of NT scripture displays your ignorance (not an insult, but a lack of knowledge)" Let me tell you that even though you say you did not mean this as an insult, I viewed it that way. You have been part of this forum a whole 4 days. I suggest McGracer that you "click" on the author "Emmaus" and view ALL POSTINGS BY THIS AUTHOR and then post, as I'm sure you will, an apology on the comment about Emmaus' ignorance, or lack of knowledge as you say it. My dear brother Emmaus, I am so thankful for you. I have read as many of your posts as time has aloud me and have learned much. Thank you for being part of this forum, and, the family of God. Many bleesings to you Emmaus! In Christ Jesus, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |

Hello, Cyclist! If you will permit me a side bar observation about ignorance, not pertaining to you or anyone else personally, I would like to confess that in almost no area am I really a hot-shot expert (though I may at times delude myself into thinking so) and in many areas I am quite dismally ignorant. There is no man who is not superior to me in some way. Accordingly, I believe that the man of God, if he feels possessed of the license to call his brother ignorant, should take remedial steps to get that license revoked forthwith. :-) Even though I am a self-confessed ignoramus, I'd much prefer to confess my ignorance than hear it proclaimed by one who, on balance, is likely just as ignorant in his way as I in mine. I stress again that this is no thinly-disguised attempt to point an accusing finger at anyone; it is meant rather to be a testimony to what my 67 years have taught me about ignorance, mine mainly, but also about how wide-spread ignorance is among the imprefect creatures that comprise the human species. Realization of my ignorance has had a positive effect on my life and outlook, however. It is easier to be humble and harder to be proud when I look ignorance squarely in the fact and realize how much of it I have. --Hank | ||||||

Hank, I appreciate your wise self-observation. As Proverbs 19:20 says, "listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days". If we are honest with ourselves, we'll have to agree that we are all ignorant in Gods' sight. The first step toward wisdom is to realize we need to seek it (Prov.1). Biblically, it appears that wisdom is aquired over time. We don't inherently possess it. I believe that's why Paul exhorted us,"Do not be wise in your own estimation".(Rom.12:16) Thanks for speaking the truth in love. Yours In Christ, BradK |
