Bible Note: Passion is good... :-) I've been called passionate when it comes to the things of God... Hopefully the Lord finds us appropriately passionate, and if not, may He change this in us according to His will. Clarity and simplicity are good too, by the way. :-) After further elucidation I do not find that we differ much in our theology on this topic. As an anecdote I remember a young lady coming to me once to ask if it was God's will for her to marry a Moslem. (She was a believer.) I assured her that based on the principle of 2 Corinthians 6:14, it was not God's will. She argued that her intended might become a believer, etc. Finally she said, "I know what the scripture says! I just want God to tell me Himself!" Lots of people are like that. I remember reading where Mark Twain said, "It isn't what I don't understand in the Bible that bothers me... its what I do understand that bothers me!" If we don't like the answer we find in scripture, somehow we think we can find a loop hole somewhere. I've been that way myself, I'm afraid. :-( Thank you for your posts, Angel. In Him, Doc |
