You provided some nice background which I was unable to do after my rather brief listens.weatherallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02060409107575801741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762514.post-70048554173013877202007-11-29T00:15:00.000-08:002007-11-29T00:15:00.000-08:00Drs.

Scott (Gene and his widow Melissa) take an approach that may appeal to folks who prefer a more intellectual, emotionally detached form of learning Christianity. Gene was definitely irascible, especially in his younger days, but mellowed with age as he became ill with cancer, later dying of a stroke. He struck some folks as arrogant but IMO he was a straight shooter and his teachings on the subtle but important differences in translations was worth wading through the posturing. Melissa has carried on the tradition, tho' without the barking and posturing.<BR/><BR/>BTW, the Scotts call for donations far less than most other ministries. In fact, they often have said listeners and viewers should donate only if they benefit from the programs. And the reason for the reservations is two-fold: (1) It's a very popular church; (2) As with many denominations, despite downplaying it more, Christian churches have never considered their doors to be wide open. They always vet their visitors and prospective members. Sometimes it's so subtle visitors don't realize they're being vetted.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I enjoy your blog. Very informative and a good read.<BR/><BR/>Lex JenkinsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13762514.post-1157735316902608522006-09-08T10:08:00.000-07:002006-09-08T10:08:00.000-07:00Ha!
