Subject: Rowdy, Rowdy, are you sure? |
Bible Note: Take it easy, Brother Ed... calm, rational, discussion of the Word can yield rich rewards. If I do not ask questions, how will I come to a clearer understanding of your position? Let me explain my statement regarding doctrine. In my tradition we believe that God gave us didactic scriptures to explain the narrative. Titus 1:9 and other places suggest that sound doctrine always has its basis in instruction. If you base your conversion-as-a-process doctrine solely on the example of Peter, it is really okay. I honestly do not mind ... nor do I think less of you. I was just hoping that there was more to it than that. Soteriology fascinates me. I don't think we can plumb the depths of the subject. I am well aware that your traditional roots differ from my own. I do not expect our views to be identical. Perhaps that is why your thoughts interest me so much. Furthermore, I was not taking exception to what you had posted. I was just trying to gain greater clarity. For example, we have other narrative examples (Zacchaeus, Paul, and others) of sudden conversions. How do these fit your exegesis? Now, if you can relax a little bit, perhaps you will be kind enough to answer my questions. I promise you that I am not trying to bait you. |
