Generally, I am not into plagiariam,but I may have to steal that line.:)<br />It is refreshing to know that people our age (I am just a few years behind you.) are still wrestling with the scriptures in search of a deeper and more complete understanding of God's truth. May we never arrive at the place where we think we know it all.<br /><br />Have a Great Day!<br />God Bless!Off The Cuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00630768359355117670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-40751326237898355442012-05-01T07:33:06.501-05:002012-05-01T07:33:06.501-05:00Jennifer,

These days I say it differently. I say, " I believe the bible means what it means." My job is to study the language, text, and context to discover that meaning the best I can, I do trust it will be under the Spirit's leading the best I can understand that.<br /><br />Stop by again soon.Paul Burlesonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17021178307705707423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-82496697860202209742012-05-01T05:54:20.703-05:002012-05-01T05:54:20.703-05:00I look forward to reading your insight on egalitar...I look forward to reading your insight on egalitarianism...<br /><br />I've actually gone back to your first posts and I've begun reading through them. I appreciate your years of experience....I find myself (in my 40's) now going back and questioning all the "status quos" I was taught growing up.<br /><br />I find myself challenged by your posts and ofttimes affirmed by what you write.<br /><br />I just read Al Mohler's new post and had to laugh as he specifically referred to "biblical complementarianism". I guess if you don't believe is complementarianism....it's not biblical...in his book. (way it seems to me)<br /><br />So, I look forward to having you share more...<br /><br />Blessings,<br />JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28605099.post-48081397642521529982012-04-30T15:50:37.877-05:002012-04-30T15:50:37.877-05:00Aussie J,

I wish the belicose proponents of each of the three isms you are writing about would learn a lesson from your non-combative attitude.<br /><br />"I've never liked labeling. In some ways it pigeon holes us into systems that may be a bit too rigid for our taste and separates us from one another".<br /><br />Amen, to that! And to the nexr sentence.<br /><br />But there is also some value in knowing, examining, discussing and even embracing some system of labels, if they help us on our journey."<br /><br />I look forward to your map. I suspect that, with others, mine will be there too.Aussie Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16199918171163666399noreply@blogger.com
