Woody Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Quote: I do suggest that we need a ban on carelessness and sloppy tecniques when it comes to study of the Word. In that case ... you would probably be banning ME. How many of us would be "banned" from Christ because we are too sloppy in someone's eyes. What we don't need is another ban. The only ban that I propose (again) is the BOOBAN. Should I re-submit that thread? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Dr. Shane Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Quote: Two critical concepts: Accuracy and peer review. Accuracy and intellectual rigor when it comes to studying the Word, and then submitting one's findings and conclusions to peer review. How is this for peer review? "And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen." (2 Peter 3:15-18) Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

David Koot Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 the peer reviewed consensus seems to be that the Sabbath has been moved to Sunday, Not at all. That is not the stated understanding of NT scholars. Every one of them I am familiar with acknowledges that Saturday is the Biblical Sabbath. Sunday is merely a time for meeting, established by consensus and custom, not by the Bible. Dave Quote
David Koot Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Incidentally, the two NT verses which are relied upon by some proponents of Sunday worship services are quite easily disposed of. Serious NT scholars acknowledge that there is very thin support, if at all, for Sunday worship services in the Bible. KIM that in NT studies, as in biology or other disciplines, cherished beliefs can have powerful influence. Setting such beliefs aside is part of the essence of true scholarship. Dave Quote

Robert Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 From my observation, Bravus, it is you and others like you who should be bringing children into the world. Quote
Robert Posted February 20, 2008 Author Posted February 20, 2008 Oh boy, education is our savior routine....When all fails - when all society breaks down, I'll be there to see how well you do....Let's see your education work wonders then. "Education, culture, the exercise of the will, human effort, all have their proper sphere, but here (context: against human nature) they are powerless. They may produce an outward correctness of behavior, but they cannot change the heart....[EGW goes on to say] The idea that it is necessary only to develop the good [how? education, culture, etc] that exists in man by nature, is a fatal deception." [sC 18] Here's my thought on education as connected to human goodness: Aren’t most of the folks in Washington highly degreed? Yes, in fact the majority have law degrees. Now, has their education improved things or are things becoming worse? The latter....Now I'm not down on education...I'm down on this egotistical BS that educated folks are somehow better than the average Joe. Weren't Jesus' parents dirt poor? Yes. And they weren't very educated either. Rob Quote

And they weren't very educated either. Except that Jesus was homeschooled, and when he finally met the teachers at the temple he knew more than they did!! Mary would maybe have taught her Son from the Scriptures? At least! Quote Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.
Moderators Bravus Posted February 20, 2008 Moderators Posted February 20, 2008 And, um, that same Ellen White wrote a *book* called 'Education'. Anyway, let's not get off track here. Jeannie said some very kind things about me, which I appreciate, but I understood her to be talking about *caring* how kids turn out and encouraging and supporting them, not about education specifically. Rob, I think perhaps you hit on a 'hot button' word in her post that was not the key idea. Quote Truth is important
Woody Posted February 20, 2008 Posted February 20, 2008 Quote: And, um, that same Ellen White wrote a *book* called 'Education'. It must have been difficult for her to write a book on Education when she wasn't herself "educated". Interesting point Bravus. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won.

Moderators Bravus Posted February 20, 2008 Moderators Posted February 20, 2008 It's an excellent book, ahead of its time in many ways, and I recommend it. Quote Truth is important
Pearly Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Then you are saying women do not have a problem with burning with passion? I think it works both ways. pearly Quote
