Now isn't that beautiful? We have bombarded inerrantists on the list with
overwhelming evidence on various issues, which has never been to their
satisfaction. The discussions with Lenny Santee are excellent examples. As
I have shown through detailed analyses of 1 Samuel 21-23, the writer
understood that David was alone during his flight from Saul. Did this
information meet with Lenny's "satisfaction"? Not at all, he insisted on a
direct statement, which said, "And by the way, David was all by himself when
he was fleeing from Saul." Without this, Lenny insists, "You haven't proven
anything!" What is sauce for the goose should also be sauce for the gander,
so if Lenny is entitled to do this, why shouldn't we insist on standards
just as rigid.
That's why I wonder if Michael would accept the challenge to prove to us
that the NT requires Christians to observe the Lord's Supper every first day
of the week. If so, let's see his argument.
