Subject: For Joe. |
Bible Note: Charis: If you are going to rebuke me, point out Scripture. Your opinion holds just as much weight as mine unless one of them is supported by the Bible (1 Timothy 3:16). How in the world is it bigoted to point to the Word of God as the source of truth about Him? When I frequently address skeptics and atheists and agnostics, I certainly take a completely different approach; but this is a Bible study forum for people to discuss the BIBLE, not to dream up some New-Age fantasies. The person to whom I addressed my reply claims that she is a believer in Jesus Christ, but she is very wrong on several notions about the very nature of God and the nature of humanity. I have brought them up before, extensively pointing her to Scriptures which point out these errors; and the only reply I get is silence and repetition of the same unbiblical notions. Not terribly teachable (2 Timothy 3:16). I am sorry if you see my zeal for doctrinal purity as intolerance. Please be assured that you and anyone else on here can believe whatever you want, but I have a written standard which is very intolerant of falsehood about our Creator. The truth is pretty narrow, Charis, and it is wishy-washiness about standing up for what our holy God has revealed about Himself that has led to such anemia in the church today. Consider this to be correction (2 Timothy 3:16). --Joe! |
