Izzy, you just don't get it. The doctrine of origins is
EXACTLY what Marlin is teaching. It is nothing new. I put a name on
it as it is called in theological circles. FURTHERMORE, MARLIN IS NOT
JUST SAYING CHRISTMAS IS UNSCRIPTURAL FOR HIM. He is saying it is a sin for
me to celebrate Christmas. This is flat out false doctrine.
The burden of proof is on Marlin to prove Christmas wrong. My oh my he
used the old argument of Old Testament tree worship. No way has this
anything to do with Christmas.
The answer to your last paragraph is pious arrogance is disgusting.
I am not going to respond to this anymore. This stuff is old ancient
stuff I settled in my mine 30 years ago. Nothing new here. Good
bye.
PS You're just as rude as me. If you consider me rude, then you have
condemned yourself for being rude too. "What you sow you reap."
Glenn,
You are
the one bringing up "doctrine of origins", (which by the way is not
in the Bible); Marlin never did. This is theology terminology psychobabble that
certain people like to use to confuse the issue when they can't come up with
scripture to defend their point of view. You are the one not speaking plainly.
Marlin
just said he does not think Christmas is scriptural, and YOU are the one
attacking HIM. How can you accuse him of "biting and devouring"
you???? YOU are the one having an absolute snit!
If you
don't like Marlin's opinion, the burden of proof is on YOU to provide scripture
to substantiate your point. You can't do this, obviously, so instead you have
attacked Marlin. If you were right you would not have to scream and yell at
Marlin. You would let scripture speak for itself.
Furthermore,
Marlin has never "implied" that you are not "spiritual",
but you have gone and "implied" that by your own contentiousness. Why
don't you try to reason with him without berating him? You are giving me a big
headache.
Also,
why do you get so upset everytime you perceive that someone is
"implying" that they are more perfect or more spiritual than you are?
Is this not possible? Why would that not make you happy for them, instead of
envious, jealous, or angry? David Miller says he does not sin, and this makes
me very happy for him! Marlin has obeyed the Lord's leading in his own life as
to how and when he should worship, and that makes me very happy for him!
If you care to debate that, you should not do it rudely--you just might be
insulting the One who led him to do it.
Izzy
