My goodness Roger,,,,Hi wondering
I see in your reply that you referenced a Bible different than the one I use. Therefore, since we apparently trust different spiritual sources, it will be very difficult for us to come to agreement on spiritual tenets using them. However, I think there are two points/questions at which our basic perspectives diverge. The answers to which will allow us to either find common ground or realize that can never happen. The questions:
1) Is Jesus Christ the Savior?
2) is it possible to trust the efficacy of Jesus's salvation offering too much?
Have you not studied the church Fathers?!
Do you know who Augustine is?
I'm not referring to a bible.
I read the NASB.
I'm referring to writings of men taught by the Apostles.
You, on the other hand, refer to the teachings of John Calvin, a common man NOT taught by the Apostles.
Your two questions are rather silly for you to ask.
If you have such questions after all the typing I've done,,,it makes me wonder if you read anything I wrote.
Maybe you're being honest....
Maybe you're pulling my leg.
Difficult to tell.
You should, however learn some church history...it would be of help to your understanding of the bible.
