Bible Question:
Greetings once again Tim. Does my illustration make more sense to you now, (for I was pretty sure that you hadn't talked to the shuttle)? Not to many people have actually talked to the shuttle, but enough have done so that makes it completely believeable.) Not to many (in the past 2000 years) have talked to Jesus. 1. I HAVE talked to the Space Shuttle 2. I have NOT ridden on the shuttle. 3. You have Not talked to the shuttle. 4. You have Not ridden on the shuttle. I can explain the expierence of talking to the shuttle, and make you understand. We can both Marvle at the ride on the shuttle. Using the same illustration about an encounter with our Lord Jesus. I should be able to make you understand that I have had an experience that you haven't had. I should be able to make you understand that indeed I have had that experience and what that experience was like. Does that make sense now? I think the big problem here is the impersonal internet. You don't know me from Adam (although I do have a belly button.) (JOKE) Therefore you don't know my intentions. I assure you sir, that my intentions are 100 per cent honorable. email me and I'll give you a phone number that you can call and we can talk and get to know each other. Your Brother in Christ, Russ |
Bible Answer: Hi, Russ... I'll jump in here for a second, although I am certain that Brother Tim will answer far better than I might! I think you are making this a far too personal thing. Remember, when we "testify" to the Gospel we are testifying to TRUTH not our experience. We believe that the Word is TRUE because God has said it, not because we have experienced it. Experiences may come -- so be it -- but we affirm reality because He defines truth, not because He gives experiences. Again... we walk by faith, not by sight (experiences). Sorry, brother Tim... I just couldn't let well enough alone! In Him, Doc PS That's a really cool story about talking to the shuttle. Do they answer any such calls? |
