Dear Nancy, I like the Scripture selections and your comments about Jesus. But I am puzzled about the rest of your statements. I have never said anything against you or Alan, have I? As a matter of fact when corresponding with either of you I have tried very diligently not to be offensive. Any Bible verses I have quoted apply to all of us, that includes me. God is not selective in that matter, except the Holy Spirit works in our conscience to teach us individually the things of God. Mere words have no power, just ink on paper or whatever, interpretation is in the mind of the hearer/reader. The same words can be interpreted 40 different ways if 40 different people hear/read them; using exageration to make a point of course
Nancy, would you please do me a favor and not write to me about Emile. I know you have differences of opinion but I don't want to get involved in that. As far as I know Emile and I live far a part, I think in two different states. Please believe me, Emile's education far exceeds mine. I can tell by the things he writes. I am not a scholar of world history, church history or any other history. I have no ax to grind with the Jews, I know nothing about the Talmud or any of those other things Emile writes about. It is an overload on my mind trying to study the truth in God's Word.:) What I know and believe I received from that endeavor. Yes, I do have a Masters Degree, but in Computer Science, and I've about forgotten all that since I retired. The Holy Scriptures are the only thing I am interested in studying. If you are inclined to think that Emile and I believe the same things about Scripture, well in some cases we do, in other case we don't. Please know that I have no interest in word battles about the Jews. Forgive me for being so blunt, but I am desperately trying to say, "Don't write to me about what Emile said to you". I will appreciate it very much. I pray this doesn't offend you in any way. If I could help, I would try, but I have no way to help. I sense some of your hurt and I'm sorry for that. You love the Lord, that is what matters. I love you in The Lord.
God bless,
David |
