I didn’t know Lin was Christian, but I couldn’t miss all the publicity he’s been getting lately… and I don’t even have TV, only Netflix.

]]> Comment on What does Scripture mean by a “rod”? by Shane http://icommendjoy.com/2011/09/08/what-does-scripture-mean-by-a-rod/#comment-614 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 20:04:41 +0000 http://icommendjoy.com/?p=1391#comment-614 Well put. Now excuse me while I go beat my son with a length of PVC pipe. HAHA! Just kidding.

OK, seriously now – I appreciate Dr. Barrick’s insight on this matter. No question that discipline is Biblical, and that discipline is good. Different “crimes” call for varying amounts and severity of discipline, as the Bible demonstrates. To discipline is to love.

]]> Comment on “My best understanding of God?” by caljohnson http://icommendjoy.com/2011/01/19/my-best-understanding-of-god/#comment-485 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 18:10:41 +0000 http://icommendjoy.com/?p=1241#comment-485 Briefly, I would say a couple things:
If we can only know God by his self-revelation, then each of the writers of God’s Word were expressing God’s revelation of himself, not their own “primitive…flawed” understanding of God. Yes, God does reveal himself progressively, but he does not reveal himself incorrectly.
Second, it seems that the implication is that we can add to God’s Word by adding our “best understanding of God.” This implication would reduce Scripture to ideas, thoughts, and hints, and we can make of Scripture whatever we want.
I would disagree with this understanding of God’s Word.
