Bible Note: JVH, you're up to your usual "stunts" of giving us something worthwhile to ponder over. I'm glad you added verse 10 to verse 9 of Titus 3 in your answer. And in verse 11 Paul calls this "factious man" perverted, a sinner, and self-condemned. Paul came down hard on teachers of false doctrine, didn't he? I mean he called a spade a spade, certainly pulled no punches, and couldn't have cared less about being socially or politically correct. All of which leads one to wonder, Are Christians, those in the pew and those in the pulpit, too soft on false teaching lest they offend the delicate feelings of someone or be accused of bigotry and right-wing religious extremism? Yes, it is something to ponder over. It's something we'd better ponder over. --Hank |
