AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ [that is, grafted in, joined to Him by faith in Him as Savior], he is a new creature [reborn and renewed by the Holy Spirit]; the old things [the previous moral and spiritual condition] have passed away. Behold, new things have come [because spiritual awakening brings a new life]. |
Bible Question (short): Isn't it a relay race? |
Question (full): Dear kalos, you say "apparently some have an irresistible urge to rehash old arguments". I wonder: Does anyone have an irresistable urge to reconcile the points of view? One would hope that these long threads woulld somehow end in some kind of summary and conclusion. Then when an old argument is beginning to be rehashed, instead of asking people to go back and read ten long threads, someone can cut and paste the last conclusion. If we did that, then at least we would take up the discussion where we left off, instead of starting over at the beginning. It would be like a relay race and we'd probably make more progress. |
