Bible Note: Mc Gracer, You write: "He implied that the gospels are the words of Christ and that the rest of the New Testament are the words of mere apostles and men." I do not see this implication in his posting. You also write: "We should know what we are talking about and be able to back it up with scripture before we label someone else's view as "Bull!" (which Emmaus has done)." Again, I STRONGLY earge you to read at least some of Emmaus' postings before you question his knowledge of scripture. I agree that using the term, or, word "Bull" in this case could have been out of line, and, actually this matter is really none of my business, not trying to back-pedal just stating a fact, but, does labeling someone's view as "ignorant", oh, you meant "lack of knowledge" really help or does it just stir up more contention. Prov 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:..........And one who spreads strife among brothers. Let it not be said of you and I my brother. Finally, forgive me McGracer and please let me start over if you will. Welcome to the forum. I have been a part of it since February 2002 and LOVE IT! I have grown more in these last 5 months than I have in 20 years! The children of God that are part of this forum are wonderful! If I might suggest, and keep in mind this is my own opinion, that you use the "quick search"(upper right)on any subject and read prior postings by other authors, especially; Mommapbs, Hank, Ray, EdB, Tim Moran, Searcher, Markarios, and Prayon. Not saying that these folks are "better" than any other, but I have found them to be blessed by God with knowledge of the scriptures. God bless you, and, again WELCOME to the forum! In the love of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, Cyclist I will bless the Lord at all times! His praise shall continually be in my mouth! |
