I'll keep trying and I sure hope God will keep forgiving.<br /><br />I wanted to point out an editorial by a Presbyterian minister questioning a resolution by his denomination against the war in Iraq. It seems to tie in with (or rather, counter) what you were saying about a minister's prophetic function. I'm not linking it because I agree with it, only because it seems on-topic and might give you fodder for another one of your sermons (which I adore). <br />A better thought, go to my blog (you can click on Sparky) and look for the post The Prophetic Function of Clergy, same date as this comment, which has a link to the editorial [my attempt to put a link here has been rejected repeatedly, they say my tag is broken. Like they know anything about my tag. Hhhmph!].Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946222067827722839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8009563.post-1096579187058469912004-09-30T17:19:00.000-04:002004-09-30T17:19:00.000-04:00Ans 1: yes, but the content determines whether you...Ans 1: yes, but the content determines whether you are a true or false prophet (are you putting me on?)<br /><br />Ans 2: Indubitably.
