It was about the sovereignty of God. That does not mean that God is punishing anyone. It does mean that He allows events to occur. There is a difference in teaching that God is in control of all events that occur and that He is punishing parents for their sin with a child with a disability.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925684255189942905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-37117419079933283852008-07-17T08:31:00.000-05:002008-07-17T08:31:00.000-05:00"Some churches or congregations believed that the ..."Some churches or congregations believed that the child with a disability was born because of some sin in the parents’ life."<BR/><BR/>Apparently those churches have cut out the part of the Bible where the Pharisees challenge Jesus about who sinned to make him handicapped and Jesus answers "neither."Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00511449647063775820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-88758185860254664742008-07-14T16:30:00.000-05:002008-07-14T16:30:00.000-05:00Interesting.

You are expecting it to be combative and are reading it like it is. I did not read it to mean that Professor Hedrick was not a real Christian but rather Pastor Phillips believes that he is mistaken on his approach to this issue of the sovereignty of God. I also read it to have the assumption that the Professor will come around to it eventually. <BR/><BR/>If the paper is going to ask Pastors to put their opinions out there, you are going to see a back in forth in the paper like this. The Wednesday and Saturday paper has historically had a lot of religious discussions.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925684255189942905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-54901776752779824492008-07-13T21:31:00.000-05:002008-07-13T21:31:00.000-05:00The real Christians don't have to tell you they ar...The real Christians don't have to tell you they are Christians---you'll know they are Christians by their love.Busplungehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15330613997333646488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22980269.post-14747558753588718772008-07-12T16:51:00.000-05:002008-07-12T16:51:00.000-05:00Yeah, I've been accused by many of not being a "re...Yeah, I've been accused by many of not being a "real Christian" because of my social and political views.
