Bible Question:
Are we too dull to understand the Bible? Rowdy: The recurring theme of your posts seems to be that with any given Bible question, you and you alone have the one correct interpretation. You and you alone are always right. According to your Notes and Answers: Prayon is wrong. Tim Moran is wrong. Brad is wrong. Hank is wrong. EdB is wrong. Emmaus is wrong. CDBJ is wrong. Steve is wrong. The people who have translated the Bible into English from the original languages are wrong. People who have studied the Bible for more than 30 years IN THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGES are wrong. BUT Rowdy and Rowdy alone is never wrong. How do you account for that? Does Rowdy have a direct hotline to God that no one else has? Are the rest of us so stupid or so carnal that we are incapable of understanding the Bible? How can you lightly dismiss the posts of anyone and everyone who doesn't see it your way? Grace to you, Kalos |
Bible Answer: I thought of another response to your post while I was eating lunch, because your harsh words weigh very heavily on my mind. Have you ever considered how the prophets of God felt when they received the kind of chastisements such as your's above? One of the worst treatments was Jer 38:6 Then they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchijah the king's son, which was in the court of the guardhouse; and they let Jeremiah down with ropes. Now in the cistern there was no water but only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud. I'm sure you know the scriptures at least as well as I do if not better. I indicated a similar statement to Hank and meant every word of it. This controversy on this subject has been raging for centuries so I just count myself blessed to be in the same crowd with Jeremiah and all the other prophets. I will continue to pray for all of you. God bless. Rowdy |
