Second Trip Update. Cherokee Slide Show

  • STATE OF EXISTENCE: Pretty exhausted
  • IN THE BACKDROP: Unforgettable

 

Cherokee CrossCherokee SealSecond Trip Update.

It's Tuesday evening. We're just a little north of Charlotte. As it turned out, after Sunday, neither Monday nor today were very long days. But a bad headache on my part took the relaxation out of holding ourselves to short days. Today (Tuesday), we met up with high school classmate Tom Meleney, the young man who has served as "relationship coordinator" for the WalterJohnson High School class of 1966, a group of 714 phenomenal people in the Bethesda suburbs of Washington, DC. A lot of people who have achieved quite a bit.

Well, anyway coming back to Sunday. It was an incredible day. First of all, at the Sunday morning service at Christ Fellowship Church, I got to play my harmonicas along with the praise band. It was the first time in forever that I've really been able to play seriously with a group, and it was awesome for me to improvise along. Then Pastor Dave preached a solid sermon on Eph. 4:1-3.

After church we had lunch with Simon B. and family, and then June and I headed up to a Cherokee village replica. The frame below contains 47 pictures, and I'm going to try to add some comments and videos to it eventually. For the moment, I need to let the pictures speak for themselves, or I will never get this posted.  Each time that you click on a picture, the slide show advances by one picture.

This has turned into more work then I had anticipated for doing while on a trip, so I will enhance it later.

For now, we're planning on heading up to Boston from here over the next couple of days. Please pray for our safety.

Prof. Corduan....I see info on Islam, however, what do you say to someone who thinks Allah is the same as our Jehovah???

Mary, I wish I had time to give you a longer answer, but that's not possible at the moment.
1. A good case can be made that by historical derivation Jehovah and Allah share that identity.
2. However, if you take what the respective scriptures say about God now, it's impossible to reconcile them. In the Qur'an, Allah speaking directly repudiates the doctrines of God's incarnation in Christ and the Trinity, both of which are integral to the biblical view of God. So, at this point it is impossible to equate Allah and YHWH under their present description. Thanks for your good question.
