It is my personal belief that God is logical but He is not bound by logic to the point where this defines Him. DAVEH:  Would you be at all uncomfortable if God was illogical? Yes Elijah was under the anointing of the Holy Spirit when he mocked the prophets of Baal and God does not change.  Read Proverbs 1:26-33.    judyt   On Sun, 19 Jun 2005 20:24:24 -0700 (PDT) Kevin Deegan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: DAVEH:  And because some of the early prophets mocked with God's blessing, you believe it is your right to do so as well?  Isn't that stretching logic a bit beyond it's breaking point?

DAVEH:  What do you think they were disputi9ng if it wasn't their perspecdtive of the faith?  Don't you think they were arguing the truth as they saw it, perhaps in the same way it is done on TT occassionally?   Please show me where God admonished Paul, for his "much contention" DAVEH:  My last post about admonishment was regarding the bickering (if that's the proper word for it) Christians who Paul admonished.      If you were an apostle as was Paul and admonished me for arguing about theology, I would pay heed.  But I don't think you've even claimed to be an apostle, Kevin.   (Am I wrong on that?)  From my perspective you seem to be one who is contributing to the contention.  Why do you think Paul's admonishment not to contend (Titus 3:9) doesn't apply to you?  Isn't it just a matter of perspective?  If another TTer were to argue against your understanding of whatever doctrine, why do you think you would be in the right and he would be in the wrong?  Do you sincerely believe you are right on all your points of doctrine, or do you allow you may at times be wrong? Show me where Elijah was admonished in the scriptures for MOCKING. In fact right after Elijah Mocking the prophets of Baal, God answered his prayer.

But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof: I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: DAVEH:   Were not a lot of early Christians in contention, and admonished for it?
