However, there were two comments made in the verbal srcum that is the recent thread at Dan's that I couldn't resist. I'm doing this here for a couple of reasons. Mostly because adding another voice to a long and meandering thread didn't seem helpful, also because having more internet than I thought I'd have doesn't translate into having the same coverage I'd have at home.
If you want the context, go to Dan's.
"Can you at least understand how a person of good faith and great love for the Bible might reach that conclusion?"
Yes, I can understand how that could, happen.
The counter question is. Dan, can you understand how a person of good faith and great love for the Bible could reach a conclusion other than the one you have? Or put another way. Are you willing to grant those who disagree with you the same level of understanding and courtesy you ask from them?
"I'm just noting the reality that God is not an intervener God's own Self."
To this is simply say bullshit.
I've got a 22 year old son who wouldn't be out riding an ATV up the side of a 14,000 foot mountain with his mother, if "God wasn't an intervener".
So, with all respect, bullshit.
“You came responding, but not answering the claim, and did so in a rude and non-humble manner.”
“See the difference? A bit of humility will take you a long way in life, sir.”
Note:
Feo, I know your obsessed with commenting here without having done what you've been asked to do (detailed, specific plan with definitions of terms), that restriction still stands.
