Oh alright I take it back! I am frustrated with people who dismiss spiritual impartation while seeking better understanding through rigourous subjection of writings to some sort of educated exegesis. These goat herders may have been in touch with a spiritual reality that a highly educated theologian could only theorise about, however! Subjective beliefs, while not academic, are not nor ever should be labled as complete nonsense.
I will agree with Ptolemy that the wisdom of the world is often unable to ever get anyone anywhere closer to God as a belief.
Perhaps the frustration within this thread centers around our EvC age old conflict regarding science and religion. I will stick with religion, and thus am now bowing out of THIS thread as it has nothing to do with Christ. Ptolemy refuses to preach Christ...instead preaching how Gods wisdom will frustrate the educated mindset.
The only way to "prove" the wisdom of God is to show people who God is. Only IF they accept Him will they ever understand anything spiritual.
I have been accused of being arrogant and cranky lately...perhaps my critics are right! I'm signing off to go take a nap!
