    This reminds me of a story about a church meeting where they were discussing merging with another church. The debate raged wildly, when a young women suggested they just take a minute to pray. One of the more hot headedmen interupted her, saying: “Oh, thats just great, now bring GOD into it as well!”

    I like this one. I feel that it clearly shows how we’ve missed the point of reading the Bible in the first place.

    it looked like some time back we had stopped living christianity, and just started studying it.

    Daniel,
    When I was a young deacon [way to young, christian for 4 months], I was in a deacons meeting and we were discussing an issue that had a Bible answer. I being new at that deacon thing argued for the Bible answer. All of a sudden, and old deacon pounded his fist on the table and yelled, “I don’t care what the Bible says.”

    That almost ruined me. I had thought Christians were little christs–but I sure found out the hard way, not so. Thank goodness I had an elder in the church help me throught that struggle.

    Fishon:
    I don’t un, what’s that gotta do with what Daniel said? Or it was just something random?

    zefi:
    fishon was referring to daniel, the commenter up above, not daniel the biblical prophet

    David:
    I know, but I still don’t see the relevance? Ugh, I’m slow…

    Ah, I think now I see it. Both of them saying something about elders not understanding their own faith, or had gone astray?

    Hi, Zefi!
    I think they are all saying that we can often let wordly concerns and doctrine get in the way of God. Ironically, we leave God out of our “religious pursuits”.

    Luther said…” If they use the Bible against Christ, we will use Christ against the Bible.”

    Put that in your pipe and smoke it…

    pete rollins (http://peterrollins.net)(author of how (not) to speak of God) has a good story about divine interference in the introduction to his new book (the fidelity of betrayal) - this would be a great illustration for that !! checkout http://site.paracletepress.com/samples/exc-the-fidelity-of-betrayal1-9.pdf

    Hold on there, haven’t you guys heard of the blessed trinity of the Father ,the Son and the Holy Bible?

    David, there is so much truth in the comidic way you bring these things to light. Folks hold the Bible so high that even Jesus is second place. They KNOW scripture therefore they have the divine right to judge everyone else. Thanks for speaking the truth.

    Good one — I’d call that “Bibliolatry” — I don’t know that is a word or not…?
