Bible Note: Steve, Thanks for the encouraging words. I'm sure Jim feels the way most of us, who have the audacity to post here do; there's no sense holding an opinion if it doesn't have to be pried kicking and screaming from your hands, especially when it concerns what we’ve come to know as ‘non-essentials’. How’s that for mixing metaphors, I’m sure you get my meaning. I was too hasty in my comment on Numbers, I really should have said it was those first few chapters; the Lord will have to forgive me, but OUCH they’re hard to read. Of course, the value of all scripture is immeasurable but the Lord knows I can’t just sit and read them. For me, they’re strictly a reference. Besides there are so many other places I can spend hours feeling the heat of His Word. It’s a matter of taste really and should not be misconstrued for an opinion of their inherent value. Love the ‘junk room’ reference; it fits, since we know that everything that’s in there is of value, we just have to dig around until we find what we are looking for. MP |
