no
it isn't--credential credibility arises from what you and the sources
close to you say about it--and Izzy's isn't helping you
the
proof is that nobody on this list, inc Izzy, lacks your
same 'credential'; you're using/losing an argument in which I can prove
that from your 'credential' Bob Dylan and others you've tacitly cursed
make better theological cases, historically, than you do
e.g.,
Dylan's Jewish heritage gives him insight into the JC of Romans that
you nor I possess--only an idiot would ignore the possibility that
Dylan's not only a genius, like Augustine who was also a famous
poet, but a genius with Scripture's poetry like Augustine was--the point is
that his comments have been trustworthy because he publically
demonstrates humility about his knowledge; e.g., that he acknowledges
that God was able to use people (like Keith Green and his wife,
Messianic Jews) to teach him what is evident in him now--partic from
his recent interview with Ed Bradley on _60-Minutes_--that he orders
his entire life around 'the Commander in Chief' which everyone knows
was not a reference to the siblings of the Bush family and the scions
of Colorado Springs..neither was it a reference to Menachem Begin, et.
al.--Dylan was excommunicated from that 'family' (too) which is obvious
in, e.g., his song he still sings: 'Property of Jesus'..
My credential
is Romans 2:28,29
