Isn’t it written, and accepted as part and parcel, as the argument once went, that since Divine inspiration moved folks to write within 66 books such things as, an ass (mule for other folks) talked of God, and that the Messiah himself stated, that a prophet is not welcome in their own land?
Isn’t it so, that some of what some folks call ‘the minor prophets’, came up and did and said what they did and said, right from the middle of the crowds? Didn’t they just ‘pop up out of nowhere’, as did John The Baptist?
It seems stupid, ridiculous, embarrasing, and much to the displeasure of other stodid churchy folks, when, as I have been told, ‘the Holy Spirit moves on somebody’.
Why displeasure? Simple. IT’S NOT BETWEEN THE ALLOTTED SOCIAL HOURS OF WORSHIP ON -A- MORNING, OF -A- DAY OF THE WEEK! (It isn’t on today’s calendar!)
Embarrassing? Why? FOLKS MAY KNOW THAT PERSON, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, D’EY GO D’AT T’ING!
Stupid? Why? I can only guess that it is something NOT taught about, according to Scriptures, in some churches, in some parts of this land.
Ridiculous? Why? Because out of 66 ‘books’, that make up the entire Bible, some folks try to live their lives based on only 4 books, which means they are disregarding 94% of written Scripture.
Lastly, “THIS IS THE FLOOR OF THE U.S. SENATE! YOU ARE OUT OF ORDER!” Cna’t have a government employee openly discussing religion, especially Christianity, during working hours! The Caliph would be angered!
Well stated.
