Subject: Acts 13:1 |
Bible Note: Hello Tamara, First, I don't plan on debating any of the soul sleep stuff. It isn't that important to me. Nor am I am not against shooting down anyone's theology. What is more important to me (and maybe only to me) is first how we Christians tend to trivialize the beliefs of others, even other Christians, and second how we often look for our answers within the realm of those who believe like us anyway. In my opinion, you have trivialized the concept of soul sleep by saying it comes from one verse taken out of context. While soul sleep may not be true, it comes from much more than one verse; and while there is only one CORRECT context, we all tend to read and decide the context based off our current theology. You have, however, mentioned that you have discussed the idea with many SDAers, so you have at least been willing to listen to their points. That is strong. Anyway, it probably wasn't any of my business. I probably read more into than necessary. Should have just kept quite. jamison |
