excerpt:

Quote:

...there are many aspects of biblical truth that we are not called to explain, only to proclaim. Can we fully explain the doctrine of the Trinity, or tri-unity, of God being three yet only one God? No, we just proclaim its truth. Can anyone fully explain how Jesus can be 100 percent God and 100 percent man at the same time? No, we just joyfully proclaim him as the Son of God and the Son of Man.

So finally, we got a fundie to admit that their theology is incoherent.

OK, OK, maybe they didn't mean it quite like that. But still, I wonder how "mysterious ways" proclamations will sit with an increasingly modernized people?

Hmmm....

I'll have to admit, that was the most uninformative article I've read in a while. "Well, we don't know what the hell we're talking about, but that's OK. No one said we were supposed to make sense." It should be titled "Goddidit."

Reminds me of a Church Billboard which proclaims:

Quote:

"Truth is truth whether it can be proven or not."

Never mind that you would then have no way of knowing that it was true.

Shhhh!

Keep it down over here before Metacrock and gang start in with post after post to show us how it all can be logically explained.

Some of these guys are starting to act a little crazy like Dr. Zauis when he was told his "sacred scrolls" were not real.

Well, Dr. Zauis was at least a funny character!
