Bible Note: Readers, Evidently, there is some misunderstanding of what I meant in my post to Emmaus. I will attempt to clarify my post and view: 1. I DID NOT label Emmaus as an ignorant person. What I said (check my post) was that his supposition that the 4 gospels had primacy over the other New Testament scriptures was ignorant - meaning that he lacked the knowledge that Jesus Christ is the author of ALL the scriptures, not JUST the gospels. But it is being proliferated that I believe Emmaus to be an ignorant person. This is not what I meant in my post and it is certainly not what I said. Therefore, I am NOT the one trying to cause strife between the brethren. 2. I am ignorant in many areas. There are many things that I don't know. If those who feel I am being divisive and should disqualify myself from posting because they feel that I have labeled someone as "ignorant" would read MY other postings, they would see that I am ignorant in areas. I readily admit it. But... 3. I will not compromise on the truth. If someone submits a post similar to what Emmaus has said that stipulates that the Old Testament has primacy over the New Testament because it came first or because God is greater than Jesus Christ, I will confront that belief to the best of my ability. I hope this clarifies my stance and intent. McGracer |
