Subject: Is it what God does, or HOW He does it? |
Bible Note: Tomn! If u r not more careful, soon everyone will be saying that u r sounding just as confusing as me! lol But I totally understand waht u meant when u wrote: "God is not the author of confusion as seen by our understanding of the context of that passage being what kind of confusion He means." Yes! I must admit it sounds so much like, ah, I mean, er, ME! smile And now if i may be pre-sumptuous in Love, here is what I THINK u mean! In other words, here is waht I wd mean if I had written what u wrote! God is not the author of confusion as seen by our understanding of the context of Love in that passage in 1 Corinthians 14:33, because of it being what kind of confusion He means! Ah! That is soooooooooooo right, Tomn! And that is because the kind of confusion HE means is the confusion that HE does IN LOVE! He means that He confuses in Love those He confuses because He loves them, whereas most of us confuse in hate those we confuse because we hate them, that is, we confuse others out of Hate for them, and for us as confusers! So in short: God is the author of confusion in Love for those whom He confuses, and so He is NOT the author of confusion in Hate for those whom He confuses! Yes! So both Genesis 11 and 1 corin 14:33 are correct, for in Love, opposites or contra-dictions or opposite-words are NORMAL, being the very ontological nature of words, and so are easily re-con-ciled or FUSed! smile See? So the kind of confusion that God is always the author of is the Confusion of Love! And the sinful kind of confusion God is NOT EVER the author of is the confusion of Hate! Makes sense to u? Makes perfect sense to me! And if u can't find other examples in the Bible, other than Genesis 11, of where God was the author of confusion in Love, I can supply them! They are all over the Bible, endlessly! Ok, i'll stop for now, and look fwd to your re-feed-back! And Tomn, don't worry: u can be as confusing as u want to be: In Love of u, I WILL always understand u, ok? smile I hope that sets u an example as to how to treat me IF I were ever confusing to U! smile Love u, giam |
