  I have no issue with these guys doing this. If it helps them cope I'm fine with it.

  That said this sort of display accomplishes the exact opposite of what they're trying to achieve unfortunately.

  But in general I can see how this would be a convenient claim for theists - they think it's an explanation for "why do terrible things happen in the world". Of course it still leaves a supposedly omnipotent, omniscient and loving god allowing it to happen and at the same time people who credit god with "good things" ... why can he make some things happen but not others?

  Boom this is the very reason why I was asking. I thought wow how convenient.

  paragraph 14: .

  "this means that we need to examine our heart constantly to see if it is being enticed by worldly entertainment, associations, and styles of dress and grooming.

  or the love of the world might involve efforts to attain “great things,” such as through the pursuit of higher education.

  LOL@ whomever gave me a down vote. That's funny. I couldn't have been more detailed or accurate as to why the Whack-tower is misapplying this text.

  FYI I didn't mean delete it, meant enough stroking this bozo's ego with faltering him with responses. Personally find little value in entertaining those who refuse to examine the whole picture. Let them live in denial.

  This is a complete oxymoron. Why? Because Baruch which this chapter concerns was a scribe and underling of Jeremiah. He was of noble birth and received schooling and training or he wouldn't be in the position he was in.

  While it is true that vs. 4,5 are an indication that Baruch was caught up in likely becoming a head of state the admonition here is one of refraining from politics more than anything.

  This chapter is better applied to not taking position in man's governments. As to higher education though it is completely irrelevant as Baruch had higher education.

  Complete misapplication in my opinion.

  @Simon I just PM'd him the same...he's got a relative url wrapped in there. I also cautioned him to not freak out or make assumptions but we know how that turned out.

  @MicaSmith no harm no foul but an apology would be in order my friend.
