Love the title....Thanks, Bobby!<BR/><BR/>Welcome, Unblogger! Love the title. Glad you are here! I really am happy you find more in common with Bob and than I and have said so. We all find ourselves on a different place in our quest!<BR/><BR/>TN420, You are cool. Glad you are here, too. Just wanted to alert you to what others were saying about you. <BR/><BR/>I like what you said: "I believe the Holy Spirit (the spirit of goodness that has been known to dwell in the hearts of men) has tremendous power that none of us fully understand."<BR/><BR/>Amen. Let us see if we cannot open ourselves to it!John Shuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00798753206614838161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-27826024003673084952007-07-12T11:00:00.000-07:002007-07-12T11:00:00.000-07:00I believe the Holy Spirit (the spirit of goodness ...I believe the Holy Spirit (the spirit of goodness that has been known to dwell in the hearts of men) has has tremendous power that none of us fully understand.<BR/><BR/>Ball rolling backwards? I've seen buildings roll backwards during earthquakes. What challenge would a ball be?<BR/><BR/>I'm pretty confident that if God could make a ball roll backwards, he would simply use such power to wipe each and every one of us off this planet forever and let the earth live in peace.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Hey, John. Sorry about the use of the "B" word yesterday. You've read my blog, at least give me credit for writing a whole page and only getting nasty once. :P<BR/>Could be a record. :Dcaptainkonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04011881473365734763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-90026867815774200062007-07-12T10:45:00.000-07:002007-07-12T10:45:00.000-07:00Much a I hate labels, I've considered myself a pro...Much a I hate labels, I've considered myself a progressive/liberal Christian for about 20 years. I don't believe the Bible is straight from God's mind to the page, and I certainly don't think it's a scientific "how to" book, but I do think it holds authority for how we understand the Gospel's claim on our lives. Yet I find I have more in common with Bob than with you.<BR/><BR/>I believe in a relational God who interacts in history and with creation. I believe Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again -- physically and metaphysically. As for where he'll come from, that's God's business, but I believe the promise. Until that happens, God definitely has business for us, and that business is called righteousness, which includes justice.<BR/><BR/>I also believe that if God wants to make a ball roll up an incline plane, God can do it. I don't think God wants to do it (what would be the point of that?), but I believe God can do it.<BR/><BR/>If that makes me evangelical I'll gladly wear the label (though I don't care for labels) because I believe God is relational, and that's good news.unbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01743660751498121121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-60635988602176011502007-07-12T04:11:00.000-07:002007-07-12T04:11:00.000-07:00Bravo!

A continuation of a good discussion; I'm going to have to go ahead and agree with you on your points John, but again, Pastor Bob stated his case really well. As for the return of Jesus, I thought that was explained last year anyway. As I recall, he was away trying to find the remnants of his exploded home planet Krypton, but he came back via rocket ship; Ma Kent found him and gave him some chicken noodle soup and he was right as rain. He even survived that trouble at the end of the movie.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836922959782457029noreply@blogger.com
