Thanks John- My position was that the "comparison" wasn't a good one since we can see from Scripture that it clearly and unquestionably defines the Trinity; while it doesn't clearly (as far as anyone has pointed to) establish either side of the topic at hand. I wasn't trying to be argumentative nor was I trying to discredit you. I was attempting to explore the thought ligically and arrive at a logical conclusion. Remember, God does not settle anything through prayer regarding doctrine that He doesn't settle in His word. This is a very important foundation that we must stand firmly on. God bless, Jeff |

Oh my Jeff. I think this is really going nowhere fast, and just a little ridiculous too. If you don't like my comparisons you don't have to, there's nothing I can do about that so maybe we should give it a rest? You seem to not like quit a few of them anyway so like I said why should I expect anything new? Do you know the adage about doing something the same way and expecting different results? Well Im just not good enough to come up with a new idea so I'll just leave it alone. But maybe you could help me out a little bit and not be so critical of my comparisons? sorta like cookies, If you don't like um, don't eat um. As I tried to point out this is not a good format to decide which is correct, it is just not that easy, please go to monergism.com and enter spiritual gifts you can read all you like. Then if you want more you can poke around in other places, but I personally don't think this is a good place for it. I do hope you don't think I based all my inspiration on prayer alone? As I also tried to point out, which evidently, was overlooked, I did not do that at all??? And just because someone says it aught to be easy to point to a passage doesn't mean it is so, sometimes we need to look at History as well as Scripture (i.e. what was happening and when it was happening) which I believe is a valid way of building doctrine. You can have the last word if you need to Jeff, but I think I'm done here. I believe you've been given some good advice and I do hope you find your answers. :-) By the way, I still think there has been a lopsided amount of doctrine pushing here, so I guess we can agree to disagree on that issue. :-) God bless John |

John- I am truly sorry to have offended you and assure you that it was not my intention. It was not my intention to criticize your comparison, simply to honestly disagree with it's relevance. I believe I presented my thoughts as fairly and honestly as I was capable of. I don't see the need to become verbally combative in response. We can disagree with respect for one anothers dignity. I'm not sure what you mean by my seeming not to like quite a few of your comparisons but I will apologize in advance for that as well and offer a private email dialogue to explain where I may have disagreed with you in the past. I believe the way you have handled both myself and brother Tim in this thread has been, at times, a bit over the edge and uncalled for, all things considered. Might I suggest a careful reading and consideration for editing before posting responses? In turn I will commit to the same rule. Sincerely, Jeff |
