Really sad. Hopefully he will be able to find a place to work in the next year.


May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.

Hey, John. 
 
I know what you mean.  And basically, it's just fear that's driving the whole thing, a kind of Christian mass hysteria.  And the irony of it is that even if we (OV-ers) are wrong, we're not doing anything to God that's gonna bring him down or that he needs rescuing from.  It seems to me that, in Exodus, God is the one doing the standing up for himself both against the Egyptians and against the rebellious Israelites.  It's never like Moses or some other person that decides he needs to defend and rescue God from bad people. 
 
So, my quetion is, if God is perfectly cabaple of handing his own interests, what's everybody afraid of? 
 
It does suck to be John, though, man.  cry

Very sad indeed. It is a theodicy that threatens others, and people who are threatened have to react in one way or another.

God bless he and his family. I'll pray for him today.
