Seth's bookshelf: read
by Daryl WinerdThe argument is tight and convincing. 9/10I could wish that they had dealt with Rom. 7:2-3 in its own chapter. Also, the syllogism of Eph. 5:25:
1. A husband must be like Jesus Christ.
2. Jesus Christ never divorces His wife.
Conclus…Though he ought to have loved his wife by listening and asking better questions, Sir Percy took risks in a noble cause and devoted his life to preserving the lives of others.by Tim MarshallGeography heavily influences the politics and economies of the world’s nations.An interesting and perhaps important book which educates the citizen to vital factors about the region and country to which he is obligated to vote, pray, …
by John BunyanPerhaps the greatest book ever written outside the Bible.For its glorious and compelling presentation of Christ as well as intensity that comes straight from Scripture, this book deserves more honor than Pilgrim’s Progress.

My first thought was that Elijah was pretty sarcastic with the prophets of Baal, and then I read the link and that was exactly what the article said… I suppose it’s okay to be frank about not taking something wicked seriously or treating evildoers with a certain dignity.
But then the questions come fast: Who decides what can be ridiculed? Someone else’s cultural practices? Someone else’s religious beliefs? What if it is true, but it offends them?
That comment was me, logged in accidentally as a beautiful woman.
LOL! I suppose “whatsoever ye would that men should do you…” isn’t a bad rule of thumb to follow, right? “Who decides what can be ridiculed” is a very pertinent question, and as I think about it, I’m wondering if there’s anything in the Bible insinuating that Elijah was actually in the right to speak as he did. Reading that line brought to my mind the thought that I can’t imagine any circumstances in which I could ridicule a person in humility.
