Bible Note: "I simply took what you said and based on accepted practices of reading and comprehension restated them." For that I blame the liberal educational system; I didn't really learn how to read carefully and thoughtfully till I was in grad school. "If you did not say them then I and I feel safe in saying most of the forum have no idea what it is you did say." Isn't it amazing how quickly some will judge their experience to be the same as others? Others have emailed me to tell me they understood what I was saying quite well. When I preach even those who haven't finished high school understood me quite well. When I run my papers through a grammar checker I have to take the Bible verses out because it drags the grade level down to the 4th-6th grade; without them it is at the 9th grade level. So, I find it really difficult to understand how any thoughtful praying Christian couldn't understand my study--unless, of course, they never bothered to read it in the first place. I had one gent who has a D.Min. who was working on a Th.d. on the book of Colossians email me who stated that I was the first he had seen to have correctly understood the verse. We also had a pleasant hour or so on the phone conversing about it and he gave me a few more ideas to plug into my study! |
