Susie felt a spiritual presence at Mary's house. I guess I'm too analytical and sceptical. We also toured a Christian church ruin and mosque in the town near Ephesus. <br />HarvHarvey L.

I for many years have felt that I am at the "outside edges" of the church because my beliefs "dream" and I think God is so much greater than we can concieve and his love broader than we imagine. Thank you.<br /><br />Im glad I can connect this way with your ideas since my life schedule and other priorities have not enabled me to attend your classes in Coupeville as much as my heart is with being there. Theological education is a longing. thanks again.Carol Hage Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06584655658167228117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27609610.post-70868559776810139182012-05-28T06:37:38.137-07:002012-05-28T06:37:38.137-07:00Tom, your comments about the nature of inspiration...Tom, your comments about the nature of inspiration and of the 'word of God' are insightful and thought-provoking...and gutsy ones to put out on the etable. I have struggled with such things for 5 decades myself. I started my journey with agnosticism; so now after 5 decades, have I circled back to the beginning? What you say seems to suggest that the human influences in the processes of revelation and inspiration are so ponderous that they overshadow and obscure the divine intent of self-disclosure...leaving me with nothing better than a 'your truth-my truth' relativism. Please set me straight.<br />MikeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11514227628303939228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27609610.post-34148811725244889622011-09-05T09:42:36.956-07:002011-09-05T09:42:36.956-07:00This was a good find.This was a good find.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27609610.post-30534794959468215582011-06-23T04:54:50.582-07:002011-06-23T04:54:50.582-07:00Well written, Tom.
