Bible Note: Well, at least I have something in common with the Bible. Some do not believe the Bible means what it says. And some do not believe I mean what I say. I don't need to take cheap shots at you or anyone else. If I have a point to make, I make it on the basis of the Bible and reason. I never started out on this Forum to take an offensive stand of any kind. But experience here has shown me that I do need to be ready with a good defense, as needed. At least I have begun to succeed at my ambition to be like Hank Hanegraaff. Everybody hates him because he discards all preconceived notions, all superstition, all traditions of man, and all denominational bias. Then all he has left is the Word of God, the only true source of Christian faith and practice. Not comparing myself to him, but we are both alike in that we are both hated for taking an unpopular stand when that stand is based on sola Scriptura and contradicts someone else's pet doctrine. |
