Bible Note: Thanks Mark, I do appreciate your willingness to to approch this doctrinal division within the church by actually giving thought to the opinions and conclusions of the opposing side. I was struck by thought that we all are powerfully influenced by our pre-suppositionns. Our proclivity is to read our Bibles in the light of our established doctrines. Oh that the Holy Spirit would give us fresh eyes each time we break open Holy Writ! After all is said and done, we must embrace the fact that we are fallible creatures whose only hope is in the grace of God. I wonder how often we actually pray for those whom with which we disagree. I have to get ready for work, but will lookfoward to continuing our discussion. God Bless, Hoppy |
