So being an intellectual is the key to understanding, eh??? I just don't git what God says...
I take the other approach...Some of you super-duper intellectuals have educated yourselves right out of the simplicity that is Christ Jesus...
Perhaps you've educated yourself out of the idea that all understanding comes from God, NOT your own massive intellect...
No problem here...I'll keep studying the scriptures while you study philosophers and those that study about the scriptures as opposed to those who study the scriptures themselves...I think you call them Theologians...
If you're trying out a new tagline here, I vote yes.
I guess liberalism is "okay" when it suites the poster.
Nope. Paying attention to what is actually being said instead of making up stuff to use in scoring cheap points is key.
As for the know-nothing, "I'm just a humble peasant and you're a big fat Pharisee," approach, nope, nice try. The old humble but isn't gonna git 'er done.
"The Simplicity that is Christ Jesus"
Nice phrase. I kind of like the simplicity that is is I Cor 12. "Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers?" Yes, in Charity one can enjoy and participate and even be a part of spreading the Gospel of the Love of God in Jesus.
But Paul clearly says that NOT all are apostles, prophets teachers. This part of the Bible gives Sola Scriptura types the heebie jeebies because it suggest that maybe some of them shouldn't be trying to tell others how to think. And for some Christians, the whole POINT of religion is pushing other people around.
Put it another way: Some on your side don't git what THEY THEMSELVES say.
