- Why has this guide put me on a foggy mountain in the first place? I never asked to go mountain climbing. The guide PUT me there. Why are we not just kickin' it on the beach drinking cold, fruity drinks?

- Why is this guide so capable, yet I am so incapable? Why can't I see the way if this guide can, especially since this guide designed my abilities in the first place? Can this guide not create mountain... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Yark Hutprancer) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/11002 Fri, 19 Aug 2005 10:00:24 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 3:14-15 - Jesus' Baptism: Why? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/11001/t/Matthew-3-14-15-Jesus-Baptism-Why-.html#reply-11001 He already made an unambiguous appearance through Jesus Christ. And His Spirit continues to work through the church. And His message continues to be spread through the Bible.

There is not good evidence he even existed in the first place.
And if he did, he should have stayed on earth after his
resurrection. My hindu friend says that Krishna's spirit
continues to work through hindu temples and His message
continues to be spread through the Gita. ]]> feeds@yuku.com (drseinfeld) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/11001 Thu, 18 Aug 2005 06:38:37 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 3:14-15 - Jesus' Baptism: Why? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/11000/t/Matthew-3-14-15-Jesus-Baptism-Why-.html#reply-11000

I have two problems; (1) when I read the text (in Englsh) I interpret it the only way I can.

Now the situation has changed. You don't simply have nothing to go on. Even though you might not know everything about this person calling himself a reliable guide, you can consider your options, read his mountain-climbing book (a translation of which you have in your backpack), and decide if it it is more reasonable to
(a) trust him, or
(b) stay on the mountain, or
(c) venture away from the ledge on your own.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Tanstaafl) http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/sreply/10999 Wed, 17 Aug 2005 16:11:48 GMT <![CDATA[ Re: Matthew 3:14-15 - Jesus' Baptism: Why? ]]> http://sabdiscussionboard.yuku.com/reply/10998/t/Matthew-3-14-15-Jesus-Baptism-Why-.html#reply-10998

Understanding the text is not as important as understanding the meaning which the text conveys. The words' message is the Word, of which the words themselves are vessels. (I hope that doesn't sound too mystical.)
