Bible Note: Hello again Mitch, You have said a lot here and I won't try to respond to it all. You are offended and that was not my intentions. I know that you did not say that "if it works for me it must be from God". Please reread my post. What I said is that the way you formulated your argument, it sounds to me, it gives me the impression that that is the position you take. That's why we have these exchanges so that we can get clarification. I apologize if I was not clear. I will only respond to one more point here because the ongoing dialogue is sufficient without my continued input. My challenge to you was not as an opposition. Once again, my language. What I should have said instead was, I encourage you to.... And it was not a challenge to read and study scripture as if you don't do that. The challenge, was to encourage you to take the WOF teachings themselves and prove or disprove them in light of scripture. Not a verse here and there, but in light of the context and the overall wider teaching of the bible. As for the other comments you made concerning sickness and hospitals and such, there has been sufficient response to that already. I haven't read them all and perhaps it has already been "encouraged". But if not, read the book of Job. It will be helpful. With sincerety and love, Jeff |
