Bible Note: Hi Jeff, I agree with you that we have reached a suitable end of this thread. I can appreciate your position in your professional field. The world hates Christ, and so it will hate you and I, and you are serving in a field that takes a special delight in casting aside the wisdom of God for the hubris of man. I can well imagine that your views are not well received by your collegues (sp?). I personally am glad you are in your profession, and I am certain that God uses you in a special way there, to accomplish work that can't be done other ways, and other places. My only issue was concerning the method of interpretation of scripture, and I feel that we have fully addressed this. Jeff, I appreciate your seeing this through with me. I truly dislike anything that seems adversarial, or that divides the brethren, and I pray that we not be divided. I too have gained encouragement and growth. God bless you, brother. Love in Christ, Mark |
