Hello! ed.

It is not that chapter in the Bible that your mind tells you–but the precept that needs practical understanding before making it routine though not understood. Ok?

Let us call God at this short moment before we ascend to a new chapter.

God wants us to love one another as ourselves–yes!
this is culminated in the book of St. John 14–34

How can we find love which is entrusted to us by God in this human world where one’s success depends on others expense?

Stay tune for my next question in the book of St John 1-1

Feel free to interpret things as you like James. Stephen can do the same. My beef was he didn’t read my book closely, made accusations that I said things I didn’t say, and didn’t back up one of his accusations with so much as a direct quote. And if he had read the book more closely, I’m sure he would have found points to disagree on, just not the accusations he made.

I mean, I published with NavPress for crying out loud. They’re not going to publish a book advocating for liberal relativism!!!

I had some negative reviews. No worries there. I can handle that. I’d just like to critiqued for things I’ve actually said. I don’t think that’s asking too much. I think Stephen and I already beat this one to death and have each said our pieces. So I’m done with it. I just wanted to reply to your comment accurately… ya know, respond to what you ACTUALLY SAID, not what I thought you said…

May the peace and grace of Christ be with you.

I have come to believe in what Perry Marshall stated-reguarding truth finding,ed has criticised Stephen’s wrightings simply because he has not done it axactely the way ed wants it done, its human of course- the son of God was tempted- so,criticism becomes our tradition in this human’s world.

Ya lost me James. Are slapping a heresy sticker on me or am I just reading you wrong? Let’s get one thing straight here, I’m very much committed to Biblical Christianity and hail from the evangelical camp.

Now, what is it you’re trying to say here exactly?

The last minute of Jesus Christ on the cross- he said to His father that- father forgive them because they donot know what they are doing- therefore, in the same way, Stephen should foregive those skeptics and dismiss their criticism for they do not know what they are doing-only God can befall you.

Actually, one of the pointy goads was my wife saying, “Stephen, sometimes you are a bit blunt & grumpy…”

Best wishes.

Thanks Stephen. Sorry if I laid it on a bit thick. I got a bit defensive. No pressure on your response. I’ve said my bit. I understand you have a lot on your plate. Your family, church, and work should certainly come before blogging or whatever. I don’t want to make you feel like you have to respond–only if it works out.
Blessings

Ed,
I read you comment on my blog and I take your point. I have had enough pointy goads directed at me, as well as yours, to make me realise you should have a better response than the one I gave. My problem is I am in over my head workwise and I can’t see me getting to it till next week at the earliest. Bear with me…
