Well first of all it seems that there has been a quiet uproar over jeff hill's blog
by quiet uproar i mean people are upset by it but refuse to tell jeff about but want to see what others think.
first of all i would agree somewhat with what he said. I think that the problem is that we forget (as we were taught jeff) that only a beckoning of the Holy Spirit can allow us to have a choice as to our salvation. So when we get uproarious and rambucuous about not having a choice in the matter remember that.
secondly, this brings up a point that i won't talk about anymore but i want people to think about because i have. We have a gap between evangelists-traditionalists, there always has and there always will be there is not one right way to look at this issue of how we minister to people everyone is different.
Different strokes for Different folks.
Lastly jeff i say this to you, thank you for reading your bible, thank you for questioning, but be careful you are demeaning everyone who has ever preached from a pulpit by making general blanket statements. Please think before you speak especially about other people. I love you man and im glad that there are some young people that are ready to experience a life led by God.
No matter where it may lead.
I'm not an expert, heck im a marketing major. But to criticize(this is for everyone) and jump to conclusions without any evidence or guts to confront someone personally but instead to someone else or even on a computer screen is childish and obnoxious.
Breathe a little bit jeff isn't raising lil blue devil children, that's JR (just a Duke reference!!!)
However this subject is important and i don't think enough weight is given to God's role in salvation except for the cross and then we believe. We should be thanking God for beckoning us and the Holy Spirit for following through with what God said.
Pray for the Spirit that it would beckon others as well.
I'm Out!!!

If i may say, i also thank you because i see you growing as well, and I thank God for that. Your point about demeaning others is well taken, especially since my father also said the same thing and since i believe both of you love the Word and not some bull interpretation of it, i take what you both have to say very seriously. in other words thanks
Sorry had to edit this for easier reading:
well said J.C. Let me say that the record will show that I publicly disagreed with that post on Jeff's blog. However I also say that reading the Bible and critical thinking are things a Christian should always utilize. Personally, I encourage everyone that disagrees with Jeff to dialogue about it with him. God's spoken and the rest is commentary, right?
