1 | Why can we not just be Christians? | 1 Pet 1:2 | Not yet | 151566 | ||
No Doc. I can't remember where it was. It has been many years, but I am sure that the meaning was sumed up in my paraphrasure. | ||||||

Dear NYP, I am sorry, but I cannot find any Scripture that affirms your definition of sin. In Him, Doc |

Well Doc, it's been over 30 years since I did that tid bit of research. Who knows? Perhaps I have had it wrong all these years. Perhaps I shouldn't feel so bad for getting rounder and rounder after all. Either way, I've lived many years with that phrase in mind, and I have found that "anything done to the excess" does tend reverse the initial goal, make one a glutton, or worshiper of one sort or another, which is sinful, or just plain burn one out. In Him. |

Dear NYP, Very good adages, aphorisms, and attitudes, to be sure. Nevertheless, we want to be as close to Scriptural truth as possible. Hone those research skills, NYP. You'll find they are commodities of great value to the forum! In Him, Doc |

Well Doc. No doubt research is of value, but what does one find but the "adages, aphorisms, and attitudes" of someone else. What can I quote you from research which does not fit the above category, but scripture? I research when I am looking for an answer. That my words are my words, and not the adages, aphorisms, and attitudes of someone else, gives them value. That others may not reconize the validity of my words, is that to my discredit, or theirs? It has been said that "Not Yet" presents the picture of a dumb country bumpkin, but that there is more than meets the eye. What, dear brother do you suggest that I research? May I ask Doc, do you, as many do, dislike truth when it is concise, simple and to the point? Is scripture not often metaphorical? Does it not often embody common observations? What is it that makes my "adages, aphorisms, and attitudes" farther from scripture than what is to your liking? In His loving Name |
