Something for thought.
Milton Stanley has a great blog entitled Transforming Sermons, sounds boring but actually if you check it often, you'll find it thought provoking. Generally, his posts point you to another blog somewhere that has something he deems worthwhile.
Today he quotes this from Internetmonk.com. I recommend reading the entire post. You don't have to agree but you should grapple with his point. Here's a portion:
Sometimes, the Bible doesn’t give you enough evidence, one way or the other, to settle a question beyond the possibility of a continuing discussion and debate. If this is true, and if the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit does not remove this ambiguity, then there are points beyond which dicsussion and debate ought to proceed only with considerable and generous amounts of respectful humility.
This "epiphany" as he states it, has been embraced by me for some time. I'm curious to know how you all feel about this "admission." Read his post and come back to comment (please).

The Bible Clearly Teaches....?

I'm an independant thinker. A stubborn old cus who won't let any man tell me what to believe - especially when I have God's word written for me to read. What good would it do for someone to try? I mean you can tell me what I should believe, but if I don't believe it.... You can tell me to have faith, but if I don't have it.....
Here's what I don't understand:
Why don't we tell people "Here's the word of God. Read it." And then leave them ALONE. Instead, we have to try to tell them what we think it says.
Now having said that, I'll tell you something the bible says to me:
It tells me to preach the gospel. The gospel is the good news. The good news is Jesus came to mankind. John 1 says Jesus has been the Word from the beginning. The Word has come to man. SO READ IT for yourself, you'll find everything you need - and tell others to READ IT TOO.
