Comment on The Nine Cracks in the Emergent Pillars – Crack #2 by jazzact13

The thing is, simply saying “Language is limited” doesn’t really say much. We’ve known for a long time that yes there are things are simply cannot be expressed well with words. Any man who’s loved a woman can tell you that if he tries to describe his feelings for her, his words seem small and inadequate in comparison to what he is feeling.

The question is, is language adequate? And I think that you have given a good case for saying yes, it is. If we say, for example, that “God is holy”, we may not be able to grasp all of the heights and depths of what that means, but we can grasp enough to be in awe of what it means. As you point out (and to borrow a bit from Rich Mullins), Jesus thought it quite answer enough to quote Deuteronomy to the Devil, and that was answer enough.

Concerning point 1–
I wonder if Cecil would elucidate, or if explanations are even possible in a world where language is so limited.

point 4
Is he “certain” of that?

point 8
Is he “certain” of that?

In fact, for someone who seems to be embracing uncertainty, he’s very “certain” of several things in those nine points. Makes one wonder…

Oh and I’m sure Stuart thanks you for linking to his blog. For the record, I don’t “run” house churches–they are part of our larger church. Mars Hill Bible Church, in Grand Rapids Mi. Maybe you’ve heard of it?
Grace and Peace
