Excellent, excellent reply, brother! Hope you don’t mind if I ping some additional FReepers to read it :o)
Yeah, that was pretty good!
Thanks for the ping!
“Excellent, excellent reply, brother!”
Are you talking about post number 10? I can’t take credit for it, I copy and pasted it from the article you sent.
I do find it strange and frustrating that people would believe some parts of the Bible and God’s dealings with man but not believe the foundation for His dealings with us (the creation).
Everything hinges on whether or not the Bible can be trusted as accurate. But not only that, it all hinges on whether or not it can be understood: This being in response to those who’ll say, “It’s accurate, but your interpretation is wrong.” That’s essentially saying I have no ability to interpret scripture or must do so through the filter of worldly knowledge.
So it it’s not accurate or to be comprehended, it’s has no authority. Why should I believe coveting my neighbor’s stuff is a sin? Why should I consider it a good idea to pray without ceasing? What armour of God will help me stand against the Devil’s wiles? And worst yet, why should I believe my sin has separated me from a Holy God?
