I've learned so much more about God and Jesus and what Jesus meant when he said this and that when looking at things with a Jewish perspective than I have learned in a church. <br /><br />Its like I recently pointed out to some friends - when it says in the NT that "all scripture is God-breathed......." he was talking about the OT! Most of the NT hadn't been written yet and were letters - not scriptures - and wouldn't be compiled for quite a while. But most people don't realize that. They think it refers to the the NT _only_<br /><br />Oh I could go on and on. But your book sounds great and that had to be a wonderful experience.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09779180749434080385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748170852538098656.post-61258515491809601022010-02-16T08:01:59.331-08:002010-02-16T08:01:59.331-08:00"Hiding from doubts is actually disguised unb..."Hiding from doubts is actually disguised unbelief."<br /><br />I couldn't put it better than that, Eddie.

You started the book with a subject that is dear to my heart - doubt. Your comments about being willing to be honest and asking the hard questions to God is so true. I've experienced this in my own life and ministry.<br /><br />Doubt is not a sin, unbelief is. Unbelief is saying that we don't believe what God has said, but doubt can be an honest searching. The most solid Christians are those who faced doubt, believing that God is true and that His word will stand up under the evidence. Hiding from doubts is actually disguised unbelief. People who pretend doubts don't exist are deluding themselves and are in danger of getting frustrated and giving up on faith.<br /><br />Most Christians have it backwards. Faith is supposed to be our shield, but those who hide from doubt are trying to be the shield to their faith.<br /><br />You said it very well in your book. I am really enjoying what you've written. I'm about 15% through it and have found it to be very insightful. Thanks for all the work you've put into this book.<br /><br />-EddieEddie Snipeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722262848938541977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748170852538098656.post-16976830816005413842010-02-10T15:59:06.190-08:002010-02-10T15:59:06.190-08:00This is a study I'd enjoy.

I look forward to reading your book, however, and will learn from afar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16391660618856607784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8748170852538098656.post-25750728411964623402010-02-05T09:58:26.152-08:002010-02-05T09:58:26.152-08:00Ahh mine to.

Right now I am working through Chuck Colson's book "The Truth." Have you read that? It is great and yesterday my brain hurt from soaking in many of his teachings. <br /><br />Wish I could be there Florida is just to far away ;).Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17221710257748820087noreply@blogger.com
