What I call the "one sentence rule", where one can take one sentence and interpret it any way they want. The Bible is one book and each chapter and is written to support the entire book. Each chapter is speaking to the people of the time and having the background is very important to interpretation. In most "official" classes the background of the people spoken to is so very important to be aware of..... One can not pick up the Bible, open it up and start interpreting it, that is where education comes in to play. Be Leary of ones who claim to be able to interpret based on the individual translations of the time without education.Annoyedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14185375727295999104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-80866449436601970672016-09-19T16:05:37.952-05:002016-09-19T16:05:37.952-05:00They've kissed.

I really enjoy getting to know the older kids better. And Jinger and Jeremy's courtship is so cute and heart warming to watch. It's nice to see Jinger so happy! Jeremy seems like a mature man who will be able to take care of and cherish a wife. Jim Bob was clearly joking around with Jeremy and you can see that these two men have built a friendship already and are comfortable with each other. And Jeremy's parents were a nice addition to the show and it's a good thing for the parents to meet like this. I also enjoyed the segment on Jill and Derick and the part where Joy and John were flying. We should keep in mind that on a show like this the audience is just seeing a snippet glimpse into their lives, and so it's not very accurate to judge them on just this limited look we get to see. I also was glad to see Michelle and Jim Bob looking well, as did all the family shown. Looking forward to seeing more Counting On!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403685565428189280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-26386600051063941472016-09-17T16:36:21.833-05:002016-09-17T16:36:21.833-05:00Doctoring the body or doctoring the soul - no diff...Doctoring the body or doctoring the soul - no different.
