Subject: Why can we not just be Christians? |
Bible Note: Well Doc. No doubt research is of value, but what does one find but the "adages, aphorisms, and attitudes" of someone else. What can I quote you from research which does not fit the above category, but scripture? I research when I am looking for an answer. That my words are my words, and not the adages, aphorisms, and attitudes of someone else, gives them value. That others may not reconize the validity of my words, is that to my discredit, or theirs? It has been said that "Not Yet" presents the picture of a dumb country bumpkin, but that there is more than meets the eye. What, dear brother do you suggest that I research? May I ask Doc, do you, as many do, dislike truth when it is concise, simple and to the point? Is scripture not often metaphorical? Does it not often embody common observations? What is it that makes my "adages, aphorisms, and attitudes" farther from scripture than what is to your liking? In His loving Name |
