I re-iterate a point I made earlier if if you can’t understand someone from your own country, speaking your native language, born in roughly the same time, and raised with roughly the same traditions how can you possibly understand scriptures written by men thousands of years ago, in a language you weren’t raised with, in a different country with different traditions? The charge this time, is that Donald Miller has obscured the gospel by speaking with too much complexity. The problem with the critics’ charge (*sigh* yet again)? Miller was talking to a bunch of Christians and wasn’t giving the gospel. Rather, he was talking about how how to communicate the gospel to people who think artistically (right brain) rather than like logicians (left brain).

His answer? Go back to the scriptures. He points out that the scriptures aren’t left brained documents, there’s no bullet points anywhere in there, its only been our communicators of the scriptures that have made them into left brained documents.

BTW, that’s a great answer, I love that answer, and it seems to be the answer I have to give to the watchblawgies over and over again. Maybe someday they’ll actually listen to it.
