I was suggesting that we stop 'camping' on certain issues that shouldn't define the faith.<br />The virgin birth defines the faith.<br />The same faith that Paul preached in the full counsel of God.<br />If someone says they don't believe the virgin birth, then they need to be brought back to the faith.<br />If someone says they believe <br />( fill in your pre-post understanding of the events that will happen TO the true church )<br />then they don't need to be brought into the faith nor do they need to be placed in other camps to ridcule or spend endless hours arguing those details that you probably wouldn't change your opinion on nor would I.<br />I hope you clearly see the difference in what I wrote and what you are thinking I am now suggesting we stop teaching period? The right understanding of baptism? That is part of the faith, you are not saved by it or it wouldn't be faith. Paul didn't baptise everyone that expressed the belief of the faith so therefore it does need it's right understanding in the body. Again, that is about the faith, not the extra events post faith.<br />I hope that clarifies any misunderstanding on your part or me not clearly writing what I wanted to express better. A writer I am not, yet I am aware words mean things. Thanks for letting me clarify.<br />?Bverysharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903164338818806414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-22101944848686244332010-02-10T14:13:49.512-08:002010-02-10T14:13:49.512-08:00Sure, no doubt it's very tempting.

It is painful. The peeps at my church <i>demanded</i> that I teach through Daniel. I was saving making a definitive decision on chapter 9 until just before I died.<br /><br />Oh well. All I have to say is Noun-antecedent agreement has really messed up my happy world. That, and teaching through Isaiah and finding people dying in the "Golden Age" (Is. 65:20).<br /><br />I'm currently looking for a house in the historic premil. neighborhood. There are too many crazy uncles in the dispy premil one I was raised in.<br /><br />No offense, Dan. :)Brad Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197301845256854051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-61380491640190089812010-02-10T13:40:31.942-08:002010-02-10T13:40:31.942-08:00Frank:
