Lance, there is definitely only one “accurate” understanding of scripture—and that is God’s intended meaning.  Granted, there are deeper levels of “accurate” understanding, but none of them invalidate the others.  Izzy

I'm just re-referencing the presence of diverse understandings of Scripture by genuine believers. You don't disagree with that do you, Judy? Is there, in all cases, ONE CORRECT UNDERSTANDING? I'd be interested in hearing back on this? I am prepared, unless anyone out there chooses to disagree, to say that 'it' isn't mine. Would any of you add your names to that list (thus demonstrating the accuracy of my 'formula' - please feel free to include your own, mor accurate formula)

What did Christine say below that exhibits such a failure to understand?  All three were cursed including

the creation for their sakes...  So how does your "other" gospel say the scenario goes?  jt

What about God's actions in Genesis when he punished Adam and Eve for partaking of the fruit? First he addressed Adam, who pointed to Eve, then he asked Eve, who pointed to the serpent. But God never asked the serpent for his explanation. He simply commensed with the cursing. I always found that fact interesting, and I think it applies here.

I agree with you, Lance.  Such an idea is nuts.  It assumes that those who attacked on 9/11 are not evil.  It is akin to God inviting Satan to dinner, asking him to explain why he has acted against him and his creation, and then attempting to negotiate a response with him that would avoid the judgment of the lake of fire.

 

Peace be with you.
