Nice try. You are ignoring Scripture.
It’s not a matter of what *I* want.
Not 70 million dollars, that’s for sure.
Ah - then you admit to being the source of the criticism. That explains much.
I know from your earlier comment that $70 million is too much.
What I want to know is how much can be spent without generating criticism from you.
I guess you can’t read plain English.
Have a nice day.
How much would it cost to build a life sized replica of the wooden ark along with interpretive displays? The displays don’t have to be computerized.
You should not really have to build a life sized ark to get the point across either. But if you did, I’d bet $10m would cover it.
It's funny. While you are trying VERY hard to make this about yourself, I was identifying the clear source of the original criticism.
But if you wish to deceive yourself that I cannot comprehend the written language, feel free.
Have whatever kind of day you wish to have, FRiend.
So, not to put words in your mouth, but it appears you are saying because his cost estimates are 10% above yours, others can claim legitimate criticism of his project and that he has already failed in his mission? (post 7)
I have done no cost estimate on what it would take to build an ark.
I am strictly coming from the POV that we all need to be good stewards with the $ that God gives us.
That’s it.
I definitely made a mistake. You are saying $10 million he is saying $70 Million.
Can I help you get in touch with him? I’m sure he would appreciate your expertise for this project. There could easily be an extra million in there for you to do with as you please.
Then on what basis are you saying the criticism is legitimate and that he has failed?
I appreciate your confidence in my ability to handle money and run projects. Can I use you as a reference?
Cheers.
Read your bible.
Some danced around the true problem here and the Bible verses you quoted and the real life you related it too were very good and revealing - in that we all need to examine the man in the mirror
but
don’t leave out even one jot or tittle [when thinking of slinging stones]...
like
‘Judge not lest you be judged!”
Criticism has it’s place if it can remain constructive but the moment the receiver either dislikes or misconstrues the ‘no matter how well intentioned’ message then all the trying and doing good deeds can go for naught.
Life has been claimed ‘a great balancing act’ but you can weight it down in your favor by being a lover and imitator of God’s Words.
Thank you for your post.
You get it.
I do try and keep Matt 7:7 uppermost in mind.
We are all responsible for the lives we lead and we will have to give account on Judgment Day.
I fear that day. I am trying to get to a better, more humble, more obedient, more holy place. I do definitely feel called to do this.
Cheers, ‘Pod.
