1 | Just a thought. What's yours? | 1 Cor 11:18 | GeorJoy | 102611 | ||
If you have so “little,” and are so familiar with this forum, I would attest that you should better spend your time in a place other than this forum. Perhaps scripture. Are you so contented the little that you so proudly profess as "what little I have left" that you would condemn others who profess His service? Unlike many who have the luxury of retirement and their golden years, I work for a living. I put in an 8 to 12 hr day, come home and study for my theological degree, then scripture for 2 to 4 hrs, depending on my work day, and then if there is time, with bibles, commentaries and study material along side, I donate some time to this forum in hopes of passing on something that I myself have been blessed with. I spend much time researching each of my posts. How they are delivered may lack deplomacy, but I am working on that. The substance lacks for nothing. It is so easy to discern the thoughts of the those who quote scripture in defense of their simplemindedness. Perhaps dear soul, if those who would agree with such slanderous accusations as those in the note to which I respond, were to learn to accept the diversity of the church and at the very least, make an attempt to live by what they profess rather than through biblical ignorance, the condemnation of truth which they do not understand, they could consider abandoning their “politically correct, good ole boy,” tell me what I want to hear and nothing else attitude of which the afore mentioned note exuded, and serve the one who condemned such actions. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. One day dear soul, many herein and elsewhere will have called to memory the words, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” On that day it will be too late. For (and I paraphrase) “From those who have little, all will be taken, and to those who have much, much will be given.” If you don’t believe that is in scripture I, or someone I am sure can find it for you. IT IS NOT TOO LATE FOR one who admittedly has very little! BUT, that one is the one who can make the decision to gain, or continue to loose till all is taken. Dear soul, 2 Tim 2:15 states words to live by. For I am not ashamed to share my gift with those who will receive. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. And I would inject “to the humble, the meek and the weak and those who have little as well.” As to those who are “not called” to stand firm in the Word, I should say that you should not be so quick to JUDGE those who are. Exhorting in the Name of the “OUR” Lord and Savior Jesus Christ George |

Most assuredly, this post was not intended as a response to the note to which it is atached. Having made such a mistake I George have apparently been restricted further access to this sight. My humble and sincerely heart felt appologies to you christian7, and any others whom may have thought this post was in response to yours. In having made such an unforgivable mistake, I sadly accept the judgement passed apon me. Although I am sure the feeling will not be mutual, I will miss being able to read the words of wisdom possesed by many herein, and the sharing of biblical knowledge, with which I have been blessed. May our omnipotent and graceful Lord and master richly bless all who sincerely seek HIs truth with open mind and heart. And may they know that He WILL give KNOWLEDGE to those who diligently (not halfheartedly)seek His word. "In the begining was the Word." That Word will also be in the ending. As to those who would seek to interpriate,or opinionate the Word, I would strongly suggest they consider the Word in it's "entirity" so that the promices, rather than the curses therein would be theirs. For; Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach [them], the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Mat 5:19 And Again I exhort you dear bretheren, that all should consider 2Ti2:15. For there are many who, "Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm." who intentionally or not, will lead you to distruction. A "sincere" application of 2Ti2:15 will equip you to discern and therefor rebuke those as such. For(and I paraphrase,) "we who teach wil be held accountable to a higher standard of judgement." christian7, Will you please forgive me? Exhorting in Christ George |

George: You were forgiven even before you asked. KJV Matthew 6:9-15 9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11. Give us this day our daily bread. 12. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 14. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: 15. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. God Bless |
