Re: Memories of Sister Cindy Nash.

I just wanted to drop in and say that Sister Cindy was a sweet lady, and Sarilda and I are praying for the family.

Blessings to all.

Re: Things One Seldom Hears A Guy Say...

Please accept my apologies.

Why is that such an objectionable form of address, just out of curiousity?

Re: You Might Be a Pharisee If...

Chancellor used to love to use that very vivid metaphor for self righteousness. :)

He used to get infacted for it.

He called me a "crazed maniac" pretty regular.

Re: The Role of a Pastor

I have been singularly blessed in that the precious saints I have served as pastor have treated me with kindness and respect.

I have very, very few horror stories to tell.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

I think you are confusing who the author is.

It isn't Luke.

You have accused me of "screaming," and now I am lazy. :)

Why get personal?

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

Who is "screaming?"

My tone in this discussion has been nothing resembling emotional.

And when it comes to the Bible, I really don't "play."

This isn't just an intellectual journey for me.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

I'm not interested in playing "my commentator can lick your commentator."

It is obvious that we approach the Bible from such totally different paradigms that a fruitful discussion is unlikely.

Sis, I think we may as well agree to disagree.

Your superior intellect and hermeneutical excellence are beyond my scope. :)

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

The Father gave the verdict on the elder brother. "All that I have is thine."

That is pretty conclusive.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

Luke recorded the words of Jesus.

He wasn't "conveying" some authorial viewpoint.

God is the author.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

Sister, the Bible is its own best interpreter.

Real arrogance is thinking that the words of some trinitarian commentator trump the clear statements of the Word itself.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

Trying to paint the elder brother as lost requires that we add to the Scripture.

He needed some compassion, for sure.

But the inheritance was his. He was a true, fully vested son. Nothing lost...

Re: The Role of a Pastor

The Scripture never contradicts itself.

Line upon line, precept upon precept.

We have to take it all. The Bible isn't a buffet where we select what we like and pass on the rest.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

My views of the Prodigal Son parable have been developed by reading the parable itself without first donning the lense of religious philosophers who have an agenda to support.

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

The words of the Father in the parable have to trump all of the extraneous philosophizing that is done.

"Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine."

The implications of those...

Re: Prodigal Son Distorted by FB Pastor

So the elder brother was lost?

Wow.

He had an attitude problem working, but he wasn't anything...

Re: 4given@Repentance If You're Still Goin 2 Hell?

Simple.

Do a study on repentance, just from the Scripture alone.

You will find that it is far more than just simply confessing your sin.

Re: 4given@Repentance If You're Still Goin 2 Hell?

This was written to the Church.

The doctrine of confession and forgiveness is often confused with repentance.

Re: The Role of a Pastor

Well, obviously God has the final say on who enters into that foursquare city.

However, the Scripture indicates a connection between the accounting given by those who "have the rule over you"...
