Bible Note: Greetings J! Perhaps you did not intend your post in this manner, but the tone sounds very judgemental. :-( You wrote: " I would suggest you read the entire thread provided by Chusarcik, who cannot seem to understand the gospel, or history, or bother to look up anything else that might be of consequence. This person asks some of the most bizarre questions, that have eluded scholars for the ages, and wants a 3 sentence answer. When this person found out about a Jewish writer, who would dare to ask if person knew the Lord? the thread was broken." On the basis of this thread alone, you would make the statements that Chusarcik cannot: 1) Understand the gospel. 2) Understand history. 3) Look anything else up. The questions asked were not that strange. What language was the phrase written in? Why couldn't anyone else interpret it? All of Scripture is God's Word and it is all profitable for teaching, correcting, rebuking, and training in rigtheousness. Frankly, you don't know this person. You don't know how many people he may or may not have won to the Lord. You don't how God may be using him right now. If you're not interested in a particular thread, don't respond. But, please refrain from judging those who do. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
