Undestanding what you are saying. an I am taking no offense? Who does it really offend, the believer or the unbeliever? i have been taught to give all worship and honor to GOD, in every way that you can. I try to do that with my entire life and actions. Does the way that I worship and honor GOD offend some. Yes. But who is it better to offend GOD or an ...[text shortened]... What would be the right thing for me to do? Does GOD care about my English or my worship of HIM?
I hope that makes sense to you....If Billy Graham or some respected preacher were to address this matter, they would write The Word of God.
I commend what you are trying to do, but I'm not so sure that it honors God. I could be wrong but I don't think so.
I have read many books by different Christian authors and have never seen one instance of capitolizing the way you do.
Anyway, that's my advise to you take it or leave it...it will not change my opinion of you either way....🙂
BTW...real worship comes from the heart and by our actions...

Such publishers are also notorious for other errors, such as throwing letters behind a person's name, viz., "as Wulebgr, PhD argues ..." Everyone is a doctor in academia; it doesn't mean they know what they are talking about. Even more egregious, Christian publishers like to throw up a person's degree when it is in a field entirely separate from the subject on which he or she offers "expertise." Most degreed Creationists, for example, author texts far outside their academic training, but those three letters after their name assure readers they can believe it.

If you simply read and consider the examples and argument presented there, it quickly becomes clear how they undermine their own argument. It was astounding, indeed, that Jesus was so wise without formal learning. It does not follow, however, that believers should eschew the acquisition of knowledge in the mistaken notion that such was the example of Jesus. Christians must remember that Jesus was special, the word made flesh, God incarnate. His wisdom was rooted in who he was, according to Christian tradition.
Originally posted by WulebgrAhh, but they do not believe He is/was God incarnate. Simply the Son of God. Divine, yes. But not God.

Originally posted by WulebgrWell, He had a very close relationship with His Father(God) and the scrolls that were already written. But He did have to learn. The scriptures do say He grew in wisdom and in stature.
Even the slightest divinity should account for his exceptional understanding of matters for which others would require formal training.

As for the reason on why there are more women then men. Men join armies, armies fight wars, and men die. Those men that do remain are not making as many children as they used too.

Originally posted by checkbaiterWhat is out of order when I write, Praise, and Glorify with Capital Letters. OK, You may not accept or understand my reasoning. But do you accept what THE WORD OF GOD, says: PSALMS 147, 148, 149, 150, I am just Praising THE LORD with Capital Letters.
