Bad all around.He...Bad apologetics for a bad idea. Bad all around.<BR/><BR/>Here we have a man who talks about the Bible being clear and straightforward, except for that one Romans passage which he admits says to do the exact opposite of what he's proposing when read "at face value." The problem is, he never explains why that particular passage <I>shouldn't</I> be read at face value, nor does he explain how it <I>should</I> be interpreted.<BR/><BR/>He then goes on to cite <I>two verses</I> that he claims to support his position. But note that neither verse (nor the passages they're found in) explicitly say to pray against leadership or ask for their failure. Indeed, in the verse from the gospel, Jesus simply instructs his disciples to "leave them alone." (Incidentally, the "them" in that passage are the Pharisees -- <I>religious leaders</I>.) The passage from Isaiah talks about how God is rising up against Israel because they have failed to follow him. But again, nowhere in the passage does God call for anyone to <I>pray for</I> his coming wrath.<BR/><BR/>One begins to wonder what secret decoder ring Farah is using to get his supposedly straight-forward and clear instructions. Because he certainly hasn't done a good job of proving his claims.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
