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
