Wednesday, April 28, 2004 Stan, Stan the Bible Man! (& Q. for Gary)Stan, you wrote:"You always give me far more credit than I deserve! But it didn't take long to find out the site is full of unsound doctrine..." Well, anyone who takes a wheelbarrow of bibles (didn't know there were that many translations, actually) to convention has certain credibility (aura, maybe) as a "man of the Word"! Our BSF notes for this week (study was Ezra - name means "help") record "Ezra had saturated himself in the OT scriptures (Ezra7:6-10)" and "Ezra made the OT live for King Artaxerxes - presumably spunky Esther's son? (7:6,25) - and he also made the OT live for the repatriated Jews in Jerusalem (Neh8:2-3, 18)". BSF didn't use the word spunky, actually. Then the application is stated "Does this portrait of a man saturating himself in God's Word to help himself and to help his people describe you? Are you preparing for spiritual revival in your generation by understanding the bible so fully yourself that, like Ezra, you cause your own family and friends to love and understand it also? Do people know you as one whom God helps and one who helps others?" Stand up, Stan! Gary, enjoyed your post. You said "Most bible teaching today, is exploratory, ie expanding and adding to a chapter or chapters, that's b.s.f. and stays away from concepts and terminology". Can you amplify that, for my addled brain? (keep it simple!) Good post, ta. # posted by geoff @ 5:22 pm 0 comments
