Oh noes.....did He fill your gas tank too??? We are to rightly divide the word not play silly games....I sometimes wonder how God views comments such as ‘and my father-in-law’s name was William.

Too much of the church is spent on theatrics and too little in teaching what God would have us learn. have you studied the original languages? Have you studied the context and all there is to understand God’s word to his people? Because if you haven’t then the only thing you have to share is that human isunderstanding that we so often indulge in because we think it is what should be.

I agree, we may not learn every thing there is to know and we may disagree on some points but at least we will not apt to be off on some teaching that Jesus did not teach.

Many people will actually add or take away from Christs teaching because they read what Paul or even some one a hundred and fifty years ago said that seems to contradict it.

Many Church leaders try to be every thing to every one and and simply will not admit that there is any thing they do not know, so instead of simply saying i do not know they will come up with some silly explanation that may be far off from the truth.

However i will disagree on one thing and that is understanding the original language, i am a grade school drop out so it is unlikely that i would understand Greek or Hebrew.

And it is even more unlikely that i would believe what some college educated person who has done absolutely nothing except go to school had to tell me, simply because words and meanings can be twisted around too easily, and also misunderstood by people who have not walked the walk.

Jesus said to approach Him as children. To me, that means innocence with wisdom. In my career with computers, I would play to understand a problem. I do the same with Scripture.

I would put Dr Rose up against any translator alive... watch some of his other videos.
