Subject: Harsh Treatment? |
Bible Note: Inquisitor, You said, "I'm acknowledging that you, Beja and Searcher have all made good points about the weaknesses of mankind over the centuries." Ack! I'm more than willing to let the thread die but I feel I've been sorely missrepresented here! You took a minor thought in my post and made it the main idea. I confessed that I thought calvinist and amillinialist was poor titles yes. But my POINT was that even though I think that I own and accept those titles because I believe we do need them! We must have ways of talking about contrasting theologies. When somebody calls me a baptist I don't take offense to that. It would be silly to. I don't stop them and say, "Wait a minute...call me simply christian if you will. For everybody needs to recognize that what I believe is the true Christian Faith!" No no, I accept these titles and I use them with regards to others. Would I love it if the whole world of Christianity all became united in one doctrine and one title? Absolutely I would. But I freely confess that the only way that would ever happen is if the whole world converted to my own beliefs because here I stand! I do not think we should all ignore our differences. The only way anybody should be ashamed of their title is if they are ashamed of the doctrines which it represents. In Christ, Beja |
