Bible Note: Tamara- quite sorry to have ruffled your feathers and ruffle them quite severely I did apparently. To begin with, I didn't ask a question, I simply pointed to the short-sighted assumptions and/or conclusions you had drawn in the post I was responding to. I take that as a responsibility as a forum participant. As for "curtailing" the discussion I was simply pointing to the fact that the issue has been discussed AND debated ad nauseam (in more forums than the internet and here). When all is said and done we are left with a lot of speculations (some more supported than others). It's not that I'm not interested in a rebuttal as you accuse, I only wanted to steer clear of repeating what's been repeated over and over again. As for your response to me I felt it unecessarily sarcastic and, should I say, almost volatile. And if I may say so ma'am, a "free discourse about Biblical concepts, doctrines and so on..." is something far different than engaging unecessarily in age old debates that those much more shcolarly than you and I can't even disagree on (especially when Scripture just doesn't finally, in the end, tell us). So again, I'm truly sorry to have offended you to the degree that you felt it necessary to respond in the way you did. Perhaps in our next interaction we will come closer together in a responsible, caring, and loving approach to bible study. God bless, Jeff |
