Rowdy, No, the bible is not clear on every point, but your "answers", often abound in speculation which is not carefully vetted with cross references. Because the bible is not always literally explicit, we are obliged to dig (2 Tim 2:15). You should be aware, for instance, that Jesus' words come from Psalm 22:1. Can you think of any instance in Jesus' ministry when he takes OT scripture out of OT context? What is the theme of Psalm 22? In light of that Psalm, and in context of that moment on Calvary, why did Jesus choose to speak verse 1? The other stuff from your post in question goes beyond conjecture into the realm of imagination. Colin |

As I've stated before in other posts and briefly in my profile, I do prefer to go for the deeper, more probing question like this one. I like to discuss Bible truths and principles, both basic and ocassionally even the tough stuff. I would like to stress that I think our God does expect us to mature and share our thoughts with all His children, especially if our intent is to build them up and encourage us all to keep growing, keep maturing and strive to reach for new heights in teaching each other. I must also stress if we choose to a ministry such as this we MUST do so with love (real genuine God like love), thus I must apologize for my ocassional lapse in weakness when I let the human side "peek out" in me. I do enjoy participating on the Forum as I'm sure you do but I would also re-emphasize another one of my previous points and that is the fact I'm just holding down my end of this level playing field. There's many of you like yourself who are very good at "quoting book, chapter and verse." Me, it takes a lot of work thus I choose carefully and I'm honestly trying to support my posts with just a little bit more scriptures than my earliest posts after considering all of yours and Hank's critiques. So call me a philosophical fool like Socrates who committed suicide rather than deal with the cold harsh world he lived in. Hopefully, I'll succeed in some small victories and I'll gladly settle for that. But alas I almost forgot. You haven't responded to my challenges, the ones I offered to Hank and to the whole Forum. If you need the Post nos, I'll look them up for you. I'm trying to remember some of the key words but they escape me at the moment. Appreciate your response and God bless. --Rowdy |

Rowdy, I can tell you're fired up for the word, and that's way cool in my book, brother. I've learned a load from posting on this forum. It'll happen to you too, guaranteed. Attack those cross references! As my Bible teaching friend Hugh used to say: "Dig!" I'll look at your "challenges" later on, okay? Colin |

I can dig it. Ciao for now. That's a rhyme. God bless. --Rowdy | ||||||
