However, my prejudice is not that of women’s liberation dogma. On the contrary, I am rather balanced and critical of women’s lib, and I recognize the varying degrees to which it has both helped and challenged family structures and the role of women. <BR/><BR/>I also suggest that you remember that I made a commitment to biblical inerrancy when I was approximately ten, and I held to this belief until it was irreversibly challenged by example after example of absurdity, mundaneness, and error. If I had had an open mind, I would have seen the problems with inerrancy much earlier, but because I was so prejudicially committed to biblical inerrancy, these errors would unrecognized or “harmonized” for far too long. In fact, my next post on metacognition will relate to cognitive cell assemblies, schemata, and the law of Pragnaz.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3129176969483931917.post-31392368692105912412009-01-23T19:16:00.000-06:002009-01-23T19:16:00.000-06:00Tandi,I think there is a a big different between t...Tandi,<BR/><BR/>I think there is a a big different between the mind of God being revealed to the mind of man through the Bible and being shown what God is like from the Bible. I can't even manage correct spelling most of the time I really doubt that I can understand the full mind of God.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for proving my point that anyone can twist the Bible to say whatever they want. Psalm 1 says,<BR/><BR/>"Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers."<BR/><BR/>Jesus as an example did not purely interact with his followers.<BR/><BR/>Epidemic apostasy how dramatic.

The Enemy of our souls, beginning at Genesis 3:1 tempts and seduces with the question, “Yea, hath God said..?” casting doubt on the Word of God...baiting with the lure to “be your own god” ...without consequence. Atheism is ultimate skepticism. Authors such as Dawkins, Shermer, etc. are devils in disguise, pied pipers of perdition. Psalm 1 (God’s mind to ours) instructs us not to walk, stand, or sit with ungodly skeptics and scorners, i.e., atheists. Yet multitudes walk to the nearest library or bookstore, pick up the latest best seller atheist manifesto, and indulgently sit in the seat of the scornful, in direct rebellion to God’s Holy Word. The consequence is epidemic apostasy, as evidenced on this blog and blogroll.

Personally that is why this blog interests me. The sad thing that I see is that many people are unqualified to assess not only pther peoples' idea or beliefs but they are also unqualified to asses their own ideas or beliefs. Very well written blog I enjoyed reading it.Zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359591881376157621noreply@blogger.com
