Bible Note: Greetings Mark! I know what you mean! A few months ago, when I was taking a long vacation from this Forum, I walked into a United Methodist church that I had never, ever visited before on a Wednesday night, and immediately engaged in an adult Bible study class with about 20 people. However, there was a guy in that class that seemed to have an opinion on just about everything... But he met his match that night. I was able to refute all his arguments and flawed reasoning, and then some! :-) I didn't want to embarrass the poor fellow in front of the entire class, but it was clear that I gave him some "opposition" in that class on that day, and the whole class knew it. Beware of those who like to "rule" a Bible class! They gave no 'edge' room for others to make an observation. And when they are dead wrong about something, they never admit it! The best anecdote to those who are filled with head knowledge as opposed to having it in their heart is to "KNOW" the Bible inside and out! If you truly read, study and apply the Bible on a DAILY basis, then it will not be long when you will become a strong fortress for protecting, defending and preaching the Word. Blessings to you, Makarios |
