no it
isn't--credential credibility arises from what you and the sources close to you
say about it--and Izzy's isn't helping you
the proof is that
nobody on this list, inc Izzy, lacks your same 'credential'; you're
using/losing an argument in which I can prove that from
your 'credential' Bob Dylan and others you've tacitly cursed
make better theological cases, historically, than you
do
e.g., Dylan's
Jewish heritage gives him insight into the JC of Romans that you nor I
possess--only an idiot would ignore the possibility that Dylan's not only a
genius, like Augustine who was also a famous poet, but a genius with
Scripture's poetry like Augustine was--the point is
that his comments have been trustworthy because he
publically demonstrates humility about his knowledge; e.g., that he
acknowledges that God was able to use people (like Keith Green and his
wife, Messianic Jews) to teach him what is evident in him now--partic from
his recent interview with Ed Bradley on _60-Minutes_--that he orders his
entire life around 'the Commander in Chief' which everyone knows was
not a reference to the siblings of the Bush family and the scions of
Colorado Springs..neither was it a reference to Menachem Begin, et.
al.--Dylan was excommunicated from that 'family' (too) which is obvious in,
e.g., his song he still sings: 'Property of Jesus'..
