…apology.

Is it just me, or does Silva seem like a broken issue over this quote from Mandela / Marianne Williamson? He continually attacks anyone who uses the quote — most notably Rob Bell. There has been alot of confusion over who said it… many have attributed it to Mandela, including the hit movie Akeela and the Bee.

Regardless, one should not look at the speaker, but what was spoken. If Marilyn Mason were to say “God is omnipotent over all creation, and reigns in the heavens above”, would it be less true because he said it and not John MacArthur? No. What if the Manson quote was then commonly mistaken as a statement by John Piper — would it then be accptable to accuse them of following Manson by ahearing to the words that are true? Of Course not. So, it is ridiculous to say that “Bell agrees with New Age Guru Marianne Williamson” when he uses one of her quotes that is commonly mistaken as Mandela’s.

It seems that when there is no hot gossip on the ODM market, Ken simply rewrites one of his missives. Can someone please stop the broken record?

UPDATE: Just to be clear, Silva is taking a single quote from a sermon of more than two and a half years ago out of context.  If anyone would like a copy of the sermon, I still have a copy that I can email to you (if you’re really interested in the truth, and not just finding fault…)

Just read the whole thing. Everytime I went to excerpt part of it it looked like I was beating up on Calvinists. There’s reminders in there for everyone.
