Bible Note: Doc First let me say I have nothing against you other than the fact if someone even hints your off base you cry foul yet you seem to feel justified almost ridiculing those you disagree with. As to this discussion I hope nothing I said even hinted to what you suggest, “ I understood your comments to indicate that extrapolating doctrine from Biblical narratives was a valid method for you in your tradition.” I think what I said was doctrines derived by exegesis and hermeneutic if done properly will never conflict with the whole of scripture but rather will stand in complete agreement with the whole of scripture. And further it will do so without the need to reinvent definitions or explain away conflicting words or situations. Now please explain to me how that says I view extrapolating doctrine from Biblical narratives was a valid method for my tradition. I will accept your explanation for your response to Kalos, and take that to mean you weren’t twisting what I said in an effort to direct a cheap shot at me. You went on to say, “Sir, I do not know the root cause of your sensitivity toward me. Perhaps it comes from my inability to happily accept heresy and apostasy as suitable bed-fellows with the truth. Perhaps it comes from my screen name. Perhaps it is something else entirely. I do not know. But I do know this: your sensitivity is causing you to feel offense when none is intended. I have prayed and searched my conscience as I composed this post.” I respond perhaps I am too sensitive to you however I assure you as far as I can discern it is for no other reason than those you seem to provide me. Example you said, “Perhaps it comes from my inability to happily accept heresy and apostasy as suitable bed-fellows with the truth,” Does this not imply I either have or I want you to? Is that not inflammatory? Is that not an personal attack on me? You claim innocence here please explain the meaning of that statement to me. In the future I will do everything I can to lessen my sensitivity toward you. However I will not give you a free ride to put words into my mouth or treat me with less respect that you demand for yourself. EdB |
