Subject: How should we take the Bible? |
Bible Note: Thanks for the reply Mark, I agree with everything you wrote here for the most part. I could not respond to your post the way I did to Doc's. Your post represents the truth about the majority of Christians in this country (in my opinion). I will not, and can not try to defend even myself regarding the "lazy" approach to Christianity the majority of Christians (in this Country) take. I know I should be giving more back to Him and I know that I will never succeed at doing all I should in this life to further the Kingdom of God. But I keep working at it (sometimes harder than others). This is not what I took issue with in Doc's post. In the section of his post that I quoted it read to me like he was likening Christians to the pagans in Romans 1:18-32. I simply don't agree that Christians are, as a rule, "inventors of evil" Romans 1:30 which is how the statment came across to me. That "we" are looking for ways to be disobedient. Perhapse it is our differences in experience related to our individual churches and fellowships. Perhaps I totally missed Doc's point and/or misunderstood what he was writing. But, I'll have to stand by my feedback until I know different. Jeff (always open to correction and redirection) |
