Bible Question (short): Hank where did I say all of this? |
Question (full): Hank you’re an interesting person. You have a way of backing off a point making the other person the villain. Case in point you said you did not tell the story of your divorced friend who continued in the ministry to show that what had transpired was okay, that you were just reporting the facts. Isn’t interesting you decided to report the facts in a discussion on divorced ministers? You in fact were using the story in an attempt to validate your point! There is nothing wrong with that! The problem I have is how you then took what I said and turned it on me. I never said you were sanctioning divorce so why mention it? I never attempted to adjudicate the fore mentioned divorce case so why mention it? I never pointed a finger in fact I went out of my way not to impugn anyone so why imply I did? I certainly did not cast any self righteous glare as I would have been the first to leave the day Jesus said “he who is without sin let him cast the first stone”. Without the work of the cross and the precious cleansing blood my fate would be sealed. So why even mention a “self righteous” “glare”. I never pointed a finger, I merely asked if we knew God’s will in this situation. I further ask you to show me where I impugn or even attempted to impugn God’s wisdom. I stand in awe of God, I never questioned what he said I questioned what man said God said. I could take offense (but I won’t :-) ) at your attempt to imply I was questioning God on this or any other subject. All these words you used in your response to my comment, all inflammatory, all without just cause. Yes Hank you’re an interesting guy. |
