It was said:

It was stated in this newsgroup:

"YOU might be the only Bible someone encounters".

Then Matthew Johnson in his sophomoric response said:

"You won't hear that saying in many "Christian circles". ...Good thing
too, since it
is a stupid saying."


Well apparently you have never read II Corinthians 3:1-3.

Unless you have read it and think Paul's message is "stupid".

This is true, in a metaphoric sense. I would not say a literal sense,
though.

It is a good reminder that we are like ambassadors on the Earth, like
diplomats from a foreign nation.

Nothing 'sophomoric' about my response. Rather, as so often in this NG, it is
the accuser who is himself guilty: yours is the sophomoric response.

No, of course I have. But unlike you, I read it _attentively_, so I did not jump
to the false conclusion you espouse in this post. Pay attention! He said "letter
of recommendation (RSV xlate), NOT 'Bible'.

The difference is HUGE. But typically, you fail to notice it.
