Does this mean Semie was a sinner?

I don't think he was being dishonest I think it had to do with not knwoing your limitations. From what I read I get the impression he just couuld not say no to a customer if they wanted a guitar built. This would usually set him back and most folks would not see an intrument for six months. Semie was a human being, he made mistakes just like everybody else.

I believe Vincent hit the nail on the head with this one. A lot of folks in the business world can't tell the difference between what they would LIKE to do versus what they are LIKELY to do.

Not always the same thing.

And Paul summed it up nicely:
>>We have ALL fallen short of the Glory of God.

Everyone please take notice; it was not my idea for this thread to get on this subject matter!!!

Thanks to everyone who took a poke at answering my question, however tongue in cheek it is. :lol:

Of course Semie was a sinner, it is a requirement for one to become a Christian.

But don't take my word for it, check Mat 9:12 & 13 for yourselves if you feel led to!

God bless you & enjoy the Holidays,

Lovey

Good business...bad business. Business is business. Things aren't always under one's control. How about GM.

Remember the saying "What's good for GM is good for the country"? Now its "What's good for GM is good for the Union".
