Bible Note: Ed, your answer was definitely offensive to me at the time due to the obvious assumptions and condescending and hypocritical tone I found within it. I feel that I had deliberately extended grace in my clarifications to you after you twice misquoted Scripture in this thread (first saying that Solomon was the result of an adulterous affair and later that Bathsheba's name was used directly in the Matthew genealogy, neither of which are accurate from the original Biblical text itself). Then shortly after in the same thread you accuse me of ignoring the Scriptures and asking what certainly appears to be a rhetorical question as to what difference the answer to my question makes anyway. I am not sure how to interpret these observations in a non-offensive way. Nevertheless, I will leave it behind because I do not wish to abandon the forum at this point or turn this into a further distraction from the question itself -- with people adding misguided suggestions about possible Muslim assumptions, not believing the Scriptures, or a liberal trying to undermine the genealogy of Christ. I accept none of those labels, and do not wish to enter into some kind of self-defense demonstrating the genuineness of my faith or my confidence in God's Word. I don't care to spend time "working through" the basis of whatever assumptions you carry about me or my motives in posting the question, but I wanted to be clear in this separate note before returning to the question at hand. For my part, you are forgiven whether you feel forgiveness is needed or not. |
