Has anyone read "The Screwtape Letters"?

:) No one is 'butt hurt', Sub, and I am not in the least offended. I posted my immediate reaction to a post (yours) which was devoid of empathy. As a counselor myself I recognize an inappropriate reaction to a person in distress.

This is the type of response thrown about when an intelligent response cannot be found.

If this is a response to my post above, what exactly are you denying?

Does truth not involve feelings?

So true. If only more people were familiar with the various types of context in Scripture they would learn a lot more. https://e360bible.org/blog/understanding-literary-context-in-the-bible/

And what is more important -- to understand, or to love? Do any of us 'understand' Jesus?

Whatever you do, Sub, never venture into Christian counselling.

...and therefore no need for pastors of either gender.

Thou shalt not, as thou attemptest to push thine instruction into the shallow minds of we poor common folks, assign a silly appellation to the author of the middle quote of thy post. Tut-tut!

I do look forward to your posts, Lanolin. Thank you!

Yes, a woman is surely allowed to do the most important thing for the Lord -- teach the children. :cool:

I do agree with you. I have only recently joined this forum, and I admit to being shocked when I read certain posts. There seems to be no heart, no spirit, no understanding, no Jesus. (Edited to say that I have just read #138 - relief beyond belief!)

Jesus made it a treasure.
