Subject: Why are there disagreements... |
Bible Note: New Creature: I'm not aware that anyone has stated or implied that one cannot be a humble servant (and prayer warrior) without being a theologian. However, it has repeatedly been implied that one must choose to be one or the other -- that it's either humble servant or theologian. That one couldn't be both at the same time. Please understand that in saying these things, I am not targeting you or implying that this is how you think. I'm just saying that generally speaking, these are the attitudes of many, many people. I've encountered these attitudes for half a century -- long before I ever heard of the Internet, let alone this forum. Be assured that even if I were to disagree with or challenge something you've written (most of the time I agree with you), I consider you a friend, one who is like minded in the things of the Lord. Peace, kalos |
