1 | ANTI or PRO? Which is it? | 1 Tim 6:20 | charis | 7412 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, I have been reading this thread and it's many convolutions (and even participated in some of it :-). I think I know what you are getting at. Tell me if I'm wrong in my perception of your drift. 1) Only the Bible contains real truth. 2) This truth is in accord with the spiritual nature of God. It is not 'knowable' by the natural man. 3) Man's perception of truth is warped by his fallen nature. The history of human science is bound by this curse. 4) We are to try to discern truth through the Spirit of God, doing all we can to disassociate ourselves from the nature of man. 5) I can't think of point 5 :-) In my humble opinion, this is taking sola scriptura to absurd excess. I think that yours is a valid philosophical point, but it borders on the mystical. (mystical - having a spiritual menaing or reality that is neither apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence. Webster) Friend, I do not condemn this viewpoint, but I wonder what the purpose is. (?) If we try too hard to deny our involvement (or relevancy) in the natural world, we can find ourselves denying it's Creator. Nature is not the enemy, the devil is the enemy. In all honesty, it sometimes sounds as if you confer enemy status on the natural world. If I am way off base in my assumptions, I truly beg your pardon. Blessings to you. In Jesus' name, charis |

Well, Charis, the previous reply (Thu 06/14/01, 1:12am) to your question has, if nothing else, answered a question of my own: Has the Forum entered the twilight zone or the bizarro world? Apparently we have. | ||||||

Maybe God is trying to learn us patience and compassion and to teach them as Jesus would. | ||||||
