meusing: Please, let's be careful of what we say about others. Let's check our facts, consult our sources, and make doubly sure that what we say about our Forum peers is accurate and verifiable. I've followed Kalos's posts for over four years and have never known him to say or even hint that reading and studying the Bible will result in everyone who does it coming to Christian faith. I know Kalos perhaps better than anyone on this Forum, and I will assure you and all Forum readers that he does not believe or has ever said anything of the sort. I enjoin you, meusing, to prove your statement if you can. And if you can't, to retract it and seek restitution by offering Kalos a sincere apology. Idle words harm. There is indeed a destiny in words. Read the teachings of our Lord from Matthew. 12:36,37). --Hank | ||||||

I did not mean to open a can of worms, this is the post I was replying to. I do not know what number it is. Kalos was replying and he said --- Note: You write: "merely reading, or even studying the Bible, will not necessarily result in Christian faith." But God says: So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 (KJV) --- by the word 'but' I thought he was refuting the previous statement with the verse. I just tried to show that some read and study the Bible and are not converted. |

meusing: It is not in my power to gain meaning from the written word by trying to guess what anyone is TRYING to say! I am limited by having to base my understanding of what they mean by WHAT they say! ..... Now in your Post # 152136 to Kalos you said, and I quote your words exactly, "I was just replying to your general statement that reading and studying the Bible will result in everyone who does it coming to Christian faith." Kalos never said this and you know it. You were responding to his Post # 152128 in which Kalos quoted Romans 10:17. Neither Kalos nor Romans 10:17 said that "reading and studying the Bible will result in everyone who does it coming to Christian faith." Your trying for an "out" by parsing the word "but" in Kalos post is a lame defense indeed. Why can't you just admit that you were in error, that you unjustly accused Kalos of saying something he did not say, made amends for it, and let's thus put the matter behind us. --Hank | ||||||

I really would not have said anything if I had not thought that he was trying to refute the statement that "merely reading, or even studying the Bible, will not necessarily result in Christian faith." If he was agreeing with that statement then I was wrong to support it. I did not mean to attack him, just show that the statement was true. that is the only reason I said anything. |

Dear Muesing: Your explanation is certainly satisfactory with me and, knowing Kalos as I do, I have every reason to believe that it will be with him also. So, on to other matters! Your mention in another post of Spong, who is now an ex-bishop of the Episcopal Church, having resigned some time ago as I understand, sparked my interest, and I came upon a web site that might be of interest to you. It's http://www.starcourse.org/spong/ The article has a catchy title, "Why Spong is Wrong" It boggles my mind how a man who was elevated to the high office of bishop could turn so apostate -- more than apostate, blasphemous and atheistic. May God have mercy on such as he, and let's pray that this poor erring Spong will come to a saving faith in Christ before it is eternally too late. Your brother in Christ --Hank | ||||||
