1 | Harsh Treatment? | Bible general Archive 4 | DocTrinsograce | 224591 | ||
Dear Inquisitor, I marvel that this discussion -- in a forum dedicated to the the study of the Word -- should persist in the promotion of some kind of political correctness. God invented labels before there were people (Genesis 1:5). Since our every word will be judged (Matthew 12:36), is it any wonder that "people don't like labels" (sic). (See John 3:19) "The type of religion which rejoices in the pious sound of traditional phrases, regardless of their meanings, or shrinks from 'controversial' matters, will never stand amid the shocks of life. In the sphere of religion, as in other spheres, the things about which men are agreed are apt to be the things that are least worth holding; the really important things are the things about which men will fight." --J. Gresham Machen Let's have done with this subject. We need to be more concerned with saying things as correctly as possible (Ephesians 4:29), than with how people will feel about what is said. It is the truth that sets us free -- not the warm-fuzzies we create in our hearers. In Him, Doc |

Doc, I can only agree with your statement with another quote from God's Word. 1 Tim 6:3 If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with Godliness, 4 he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, 5 useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain. From such withdraw yourself. Hopefully, you did see my most recent post to Beja but in case you missed it... I'm completely ready to close this thread. God's blessings to you, Inquisitor |
