Slightly modified by me, PIRATE SEAN posed this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtNw_mUhHy5GdAlBE6ZUh9vsy6IX?qid=20070707081914AAE4bin&show=7#profile-info-9oD6hJOsaa
but the answer that he picked was a no answer answer. I think it deserves a redo. Here’s a chance for us to do a much better job on the question.
PIRATE SEAN added this: quoting scripture that you have know idea what it means. You sound and look foolish. Be LIKE Christ, don’t try to be Christ.
Ear GW (me) answered like this:
If I've been taught by my Master and am attempting to become like him then maybe that has something to do with how you feel I answer a question? I agree that you may get that feeling from my answers.
However, one of my first goals is to be a gentleman when I answer. I try very hard to make sure I say, "I believe" and not "I know" this or that. However, if I am sure about something then I say it …or write it… confidently and I will say then that “I know it”.
For example, If my Master says that he is the only way to God, the Father (And He did):
Using perfect logic then, he is either a liar, or lunatic or he’s correct. Now, no leader or founder of the other major religions has made this claim. So, because ours is one of the four major religions (there are 6 major belief systems, however) it behooves anyone reading my statement to find out which one of those things that my Master is. If a person is not going to look into this conundrum then they are ones acting overconfident, not I, and not, as you put it, “all the CHRISTIANS”.
Therefore, in this case, I will say, "I know". It has to be one of the three: liar, lunatic or Master. Ok, so I sound kinda’ like a guru. But is what I am saying true or not?! Wouldn’t that matter above and beyond what I, or we, sound like as long as the writer is truly being a gentleman?!
