Bible Question (short): Truth, understandin or Faith in the word |
Question (full): I know what you are saying Ed, but do you not think that the verse could be meant literally, "God heareth not sinners," and as I said earlier that the sinner who is sincerely repentant, and coming to Jesus for salvation is no longer a sinner in the moment prior to salvation, Or that there is another truth of which we are not aware? I'm sure you agree with me when I say that I am leary of those, (myself included) when we tend to label a bible author as "prejudice." For many have said that Paul was a (I couldn't spell this word if my life depended on it, so I will put it phonetically) Sho-vin-ist. If scripture isn't true to the letter, then it is untrue in all..... I will admit that there is a lot therein that I simply do not understand. But I will refrain from calling an apple an orange, if I don't know the particular variety of apples in question. George |
