Bible Note: John, hello. YOU: "I have salted my conversation with as much salt as God has provided me."...... ME: "Wow, He dropped a load on you all right!" ..... And how I admire a man who has the grit to defend his faith! And agree with all you said in your post..... I like Simchat Torah. I think he is a true gentleman and honest about his faith, but like you, John, I sharply disagree with him on the very issues you have mentioned in your post. I'm on record all over this forum as being a Sola Scriptura guy, so I don't base my faith on, or define it by, the teachings of the Kabbulah or Benny the Hinn or the Farmer's Almanac. I do believe salvation is by grace and not works, but I don't believe that the skilled and dedicated men of God who serve Him in translating His word have corrupted the sacred texts..... I repeat for emphasis: This is a disagreement with our new user, Simchat Torah, on issues involving faith and practice, and in no wise is it meant to demean him. or diminish my respect for him as a human being, or to rob him of his dignity as a person. Your brother in Christ, --Hank [You may insert 'bubba' in place of 'brother' if you feel more comfortable with it, John] :-) |
