OK, that was, like, the best comment EVER.

LOL. Yeah, Andy's satire is tough to catch sometimes. No worries. Better men than me have been baffled by it.

I agape you too, man!

Hope all is well with you.

Speaking of Greg, check out his latest post. Couldn't he have just concluded with "according to Jesus, inspired but wrong"?

Thanks brother.

Not to put you on the spot (but I guess I will), I think you made my point for me. Someone dares say that the bible is wrong in places, and what he gets back is a discussion about Schleiermacher, Kant, Barth, Wright, Hart, Volf, Witherington, Boyd, Piper, Calvinism, context, genre, narrative, mission, ministry, and ultra-fundamentalism.

Like I said, can't we just say, from what Jesus revealed to us about the nature of God, that He didn't order the massacre of the Canaanites? Can't we just say that? Do we have to resort to a survey of 500 years of Western theology?

Anyway, sorry about rant. Like I said, the comment was just too apropos.

Grace and Peace, brother.

Wait a minute!!! I can handle a few stones, just don't call me no "liberal!" (Plus, I don't think the phrase "chicken shit" was invented yet; too bad, come to think of it).

Alan,

Don't deplore. Sorry if it came across that way.

Canon? Too big a question for a comment.

Examples? That's not what I want this post to be about.

Justification? Arrogance, baby. Pure arrogance.

Grace and Peace,
Raffi

Thanks for the honesty, brother.

It's the priorities thing.

Or delusions of grandeur.

Or a word from God.

Haven't decided yet.

Grace and Peace,
Raffi

Ah, there's 3 of my teachers/mentors now!

Thanks for the sentiments, guys. They mean more than I can express.

Grace and Peace.
