Glenn,
You
are the one bringing up "doctrine of origins", (which by the way is not in the
Bible); Marlin never did. This is theology terminology psychobabble
that certain people like to use to confuse the issue when they can't come
up with scripture to defend their point of view. You are the one not speaking
plainly.
Marlin
just said he does not think Christmas is scriptural, and YOU are the one
attacking HIM. How can you accuse him of "biting and devouring" you???? YOU are
the one having an absolute snit!
If you
don't like Marlin's opinion, the burden of proof is on YOU to provide scripture
to substantiate your point. You can't do this, obviously, so instead you have
attacked Marlin. If you were right you would not have to scream and yell at
Marlin. You would let scripture speak for itself.
Furthermore, Marlin has never "implied" that you are
not "spiritual", but you have gone and "implied" that by your own
contentiousness. Why don't you try to reason with him without berating him? You
are giving me a big headache.
Also,
why do you get so upset everytime you perceive that someone is "implying" that
they are more perfect or more spiritual than you are? Is this not possible? Why
would that not make you happy for them, instead of envious, jealous, or angry?
David Miller says he does not sin, and this makes me very happy for him!
Marlin has obeyed the Lord's leading in his own life as to how and when he
should worship, and that makes me very happy for him! If you care to
debate that, you should not do it rudely--you just might be insulting the One
who led him to do it.

-----Original Message-----I WANT BIBLE FOR THE "DOCTRINE OF ORIGINS". You are saying Christmas is a sin because it was not originated with God. This is called the 'DOCTRINE OF ORIGINS". THERE IS NO BIBLE FOR THIS DOCTRINE. THERE IS NO WHERE IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS SOMETHING IS A SIN IF IT DID NOT ORIGINATE WITH CHRISTIANS.

Bite and devour is what I see this false doctrine of "Christmas is a sin" But you imply I am not spiritual which is biting and devouring me because I don't buy your "DOCTRINE OF ORIGINS" argument. If I don't agree with you I am not listening to the Holy Spirit. I give Gal. 5:15 back to you on a "spiritual platter".
