Bible Note: I think this might merit a rather candid response from me with regard to your comments. Personal character assinations are not an appropriatre rebuttal to the pennings of one that you do not know or love, and so I begin: having missed my point and ventured in the the shallow water looking for deeper things, don't you think that you should at least ask what I meant? In no way will I find myself on the bus of dismissing scripture as if it were some cork-board garages sale poster. And me thinks that you have mis-intrepreted some of the writings of someone as if he/she were dismissing scripture. Aux Contraire', the focus was on our "RELATIONSHIP" with the Lord. Are not the Law and the Prophets summed up in two commandments? "Love the Lord thy God with all you got (condensed a bit), and love your neighbor as yourself" (Jesus said this)? So where do we find ourselves with respect to the writings of those who thoughtfully put to paper (or whatever they had)experience/history/prophecy and what today we call "The Scriptures". Of couse maybe this issue is stuck in between dispensations. Does God speak to us today (I mean "speak") or does He specifically speak to us by the scriptures? Can't imagine how he would have told me to go to a specific bus stop and someone would be there whom I would minister to, using just the scriptures. I, for one, happen to enjoy sarcasm, if done properly it brings a laugh or two! And I would dare you call this person "unintelligent"...well, you shouldn't use that approach anyway. YOu say: "He also presumes to know the thoughts, feelings,...et al". And yet you presume to know HIS thoughts and feelings: "at least one post-er in his writings has substituted sarcasm for intelligence....". So see the log in you own eye before addressing a perceived splinter in another! Maybe I could have summed this up as "chill out", but lively discussions are good and hashing out things is also good! Having 5 sons, experience ha s proven that "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another". Um, that's in the Bible. For better reading, go to the Book of Assumptions. Blessings! |
