Let's be reasonable with one another, shall we?

These are high and lofty ideals based on extensive study...

Give me a greeting when you visit. I appreciate nice-ness.
You can address another blogger ... and even disagree with them, that is fine. All I ask is that you leave censure and hand-slapping to me.
Speak up ...
about the posts.
Be nice!

Q: Why do I like these quotes? A: Because they make me feel good. :~)

Earl - As I write, teach Sunday School, I think of people like you in my audience. It gives me a sanity check of what I am saying. Would what I say pass the "crap" or sanity check of you or others that I know?

KC -
You're a great sister ;-)

Colin Maxwell -
I enjoyed your post and desire to think these things out.

Loren - Your posting is full of many thought provoking points and excellent, searching questions ... you're really a very profound thinker.

Earl - You have a fun blog!
I really appreciate what you're doing.

Joe - You are my favorite theological blogger.

Jeremy - Good job ... Bye.

Todd - With blogs like this one there is plenty to be hopeful for in the blogsphere.

Matthew - Its nice to read an edifying Christian blog ... You are so level-headed.

Mark - You're real! The blogosphere needs more real people like you around.

Loren - I'll bet you stay up late nights thinking about all the theology that must be swimming through your head. I just want to say that it's great to see the ways in which God is challenging you, and using you to minister through your blog. The things you, and others here, have shared, are very thought provoking!

I think God is awesome. He calls red white and white red ... and He is reasonable all at the same time. He has a very incredible sense of color. This is important to artsy people like me.

Come now, and let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
(Isaiah 1:18)

Q: Why do I call them 'posts of note'? A: Because they are about things that I think about ... or have thought about ... a lot.

These are people that are so very reasonable.

Although I don't necessarily agree with everything all these people say, I do think we have something essential in common - proclaiming that the Word of God is the absolute truth.

I think John touches on some really important issues in this post. I look forward to how he is going to develop this.

  • Rose, I am a HUGE fan of The Earnest Contender. I ain't a Dispensationalist, but I thoroughly enjoy his blogs. I am learning a lot from him, with his gentle kindness.

  • Ryan,
    That was really odd to answer that comment on this post about the Earnest Contender. It was asked over here.

    But now I see that you answered it over there too. I thought the phrase "I won't mince words anymore" meant that one isn't going to beat around the bush. That is why I was scratching my head. Maybe I have the saying all wrong in my head.

    I think Antonio would cover a lot of the things you mention (but not repentance) in a gospel presentation if given the time. The thing that you and others may be misunderstanding is that he is often talking about the bare minimum ... like if he only had 2 minutes to tell the gospel to someone, what would be the basic message?

    Earl,
    I am glad you are a fan. So am I! He is gentle and kind ... most of the time. ;~)
