Subject: The Sons of God in Genesis 6:1-4 |
Bible Note: HMMMMMM......interesting, It would seem you are quite a literalist like myself. I naturally assumed that since I didnt post any scripture to base my thought of "answering like Jesus", you would have reasoned with me that I must be referring to HIS demeanor of how HE answers questions. NOT just WHAT HE answered. I sent that PS after reading some of your posts on wranglings of others and also of issues affecting the writers. I figured that since your prone to answering posts in a "spirited" manner.. I would try to use Jesus as our example of how we might try to emulate HIM in discussions. Nary once have I noticed Jesus having a biting attitude with anyone while in dialogue. Mind you now....I HAVE A HUGE OVERBITE (referring to argumentative demeanor)...so biting comes from me at times. Then a brother would let me know how I underminded the person and I would end up in apologies. If Jesus ever did do the same, I missed it. But then that wouldnt be the first time I missed something. Like my profile says, I never try to presume to know the anwswers. I only hope that what I seem to understand can help another. I must say this ...your wonderful humor in prose is delightful...I found this in one of your posts...and boyyyyeeeeee...did i ever get a HOLLAR out of that....thank you: A post you sent someone ...last year: 2 Proverbs 1:1 Be not drawn into dispute concerning neither the King James Only controversy, Eternal Security vs Eternal Insecurity, nor Calvinism vs Arminianism. 1:2 For it tendeth only to frustration. The major portion of thy brethren neither can nor will understand the issues. 1:3 Neither will they answer thee according to Scripture, reason or logic. But their answer proceedeth out of their own emotions and the imaginings of their hearts. 1:4 Take heed unto thyself lest thou assay to challenge their pet beliefs, 1:5 For in the day that thou challengeth therof, they shall turn on thee and rend thee to pieces; 1:6 Insomuch that, if it were possible, even the very elect should be utterly cut off from all rational thought; and that without remedy. 1:7 Cast not thy learning before them that despise learning of any kind. I certainly hope we can continue in some kindly dialogue while we are in here over issues that are stirred up ... *SHALOM* the Disciple |
