Humor saves the day in so many ways. I think about the personality of Jesus at times and he must have been very fun to be with. People throughout history really don't change very much, and even though Jesus said the crowds were following him because of his feeding of the multitudes and because of the other miracles, the closest group that stayed with him for three years would not have stayed with him if he was a "downer." That's my belief anyway. Many of them really never understood until the very end just who and what he was; they still thought he would initiate the beginning of the end of the Romans ruling over them. But I don't think they would have stayed so "tight" to him if his personality wasn't one that attracted them, soothed them, entertained them, etc. I know we will always have some emotionally unstable people who will be attracted to dominate, abusive leaders, so it's not a given that a person with "followers" is a good, cheerful, supportive person. But Jesus WAS that kind of "leader." That's my story anyway and I'm sticking with it! :-) Like or Dislike: Thumb up 0

All right here's what I see as a problem. 1. your 38 volume church father collection is out of order. This is probably what causes all the anachronistic fallacies in your studies. The pattern always goes Red, Green, Blue. This maybe part of the problem you seem to have with orthodox views of communion. If you get these in order you'll also be able to follow a Roman Catholic argument from time to time. 2. Your Geisler systematic theology is also out of order. What are you thinkin' man!?! I assume you have all 4 volumes. They should be as follows. Red, Purple, Blue, Green. I hope you will correct these problems or I will be forced shame you online. Samson Like or Dislike: Thumb up 0
