So basically the Former President is saying that everything he says and believes almost doesn’t amount to a hill of beans?

Thus, we all make mistakes in our interpretation. Thus, when it comes to our interpretations it does not really matter that the Bible is without errors but we add errors in our interpretation.

Since you were there….

What was Clinton trying to say with

“The reason why we have to put love above everything else is because we see through a glass darkly and know in part. Therefore, it almost doesn’t matter whether the Bible is literally true. Because we see through a glass darkly. Humility is the order of the day. The reason we have to love each other is because we all might be wrong. (APPLAUSE) And so, I don’t think Al Gore is wrong. I think he’s right.

“it almost doesn’t matter whether the Bible is literally true”.

Seems a bit vague,

Can you explain him a little better, concerning that line.

Blessings,
Chris

Because I was, and I have to disagree with your assessment that it wasn't a good thing. I did not agree with every single thing every single speaker said, but God definitely used this weekend to refresh my spirit and to remind us that despite the fact that disagreement seems to be written into our DNA, we can worship and serve God together in the places that we do agree. For that, I am profoundly grateful. BDW, thanks for posting this.

I do respect you. I really do. I also do not know all your family went through back during the CR and for your pain and any wrong your family suffered I am sorry.

Yet, surely in the depth of your soul you do not believe this to be a good thing do you?

I once moved to put the church President Clinton was a member of out of the SBC. It was Dr. Patterson who ruled the motion out of order when it came to the floor for a vote. It may have passed.

Big Daddy, I am now glad it did not pass. I am glad it was ruled out of order. Although, I know, Dr. Patterson knows, and probably you know it was not out of order.

Dr. Patterson ruled it out of order because he saw what it could cause in the future had it passed and it may very well have passed.

I do pray for President Clinton. He may have one of the brightest minds of any man ever to serve as president of this nation, but he went so far from his faith in all things that he may have been one of our worst presidents.

Big Daddy, President Clinton is wrong. His theological positions are not biblical. He is just wrong. I do not think him a mean man. He is a man of good intentions gone astray.

I pray he returns to the way he knew as a child; The way of biblical faith.

I also pray you do not follow the path he has. I agree with you in many things. If you believe President Clinton to be right here I cannot agree with you. If you believe the NBC to have been a good thing I cannot agree with you.

I hope we can be friends and brothers in Christ. I also hope you abandon this way that you now seem to follow. The value of a person like you to the Kingdom is beyond measure, but if you continue in this path, the loss to the Kingdom’s work will be a sad thing.

I am not saying you are not a Christian and I think you know that. I believe you are. I just think you need to look afresh at some things.

The NBC is not a good thing and for you to continue to follow this way will not be a good thing either.

IN CHRIST FREE,

cb
