Today's annoyance: Inconsistent People
You ever notice how people will say one thing one moment, then say the opposite the next? Bug you too? What's worse is when it's class material! Last week we studied how justification was the result of faith and repentance, also known as lordship salvation. Then on our quiz ('cause it was somewhere in our reading; yup, the same reading that denounced the idea it then portrayed), it had repentance as being the fruit of our justification! This week we had that same writer saying that repentance is not "a critical element of genuine faith"! Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!
By the way, can something be confusing and still be right?? You can be totally confused as to the meaning of this post, but does that make the post necessarily wrong?? Something to think about.
Ok, back from that logical bunny trail. As one person said, "sometimes [the writers] do seem to contradict themselves when proving that others contradict themselves." I sure wish these people would figure out what they believe and stick to it!!!
Aren't y'all happy? Logic lessons abound when I'm not optime. ;-) Maybe I should become one of those people that don't try to understand their lessons and instead memorize Latin quotes. :-S It might help my grades...
