Hi, country girl! This precisely is my point! We may argue with each other about everything Biblical and extra-Biblical till we are blue in the face, but the fact of the matter is that we may come to God not as we please but in His terms. He calls us to Salvation (Jesus) and generously offers us Life (Jesus) and the redemption of all our iniquities, in Jesus, but not as a freefall jackpot! It is in His Sacrificial Blood that we are saved. But Jesus cautions that not all who call on Him will be saved as he did not come to ransom all but those who believe in Him! He taught us to be obedient and to abide in Him--this clearly negates our desire to do our will and still claim Salvation! Scripture does not offer us the means to circumvent God (Romans 6:23) but a means to learn what pleases God and to behave accordingly (Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15; 3:16-17). Jesus did not just randomly select a few words to teach us about prayer, He came to implement the Father’s Will and to teach us to do the same (Matthew 6:10). When we take it upon ourselves to interpret Scripture according to what the world deems correct we run the risk of becoming an enemy of God for the sake of the world’s friendship. “your will be done,” can not be accomplished by redefining the Scripture: "our will be done! God Bless! Angel |

Hi Angel, "your will be done," can not be accomplished by redefining the Scripture: "our will be done!" Why the lower case "y"? 1) For 1 Cor 11:3 can we not think of Christ as the Head [sic] of every man, as the Amplified expresses it? But could we not also think of God as being the head [sic] of Christ, thus making them equal but set in order. From the heart, Ray |

Hi, Ray! I was quoting Scripture, the version which I use has "your..." Than same version utilizes "head" for all accounts. I've read some versions that do capitalize "Head" when refering to Christ or God... and others, still capitalize the complete word "LORD" in the Old Testament--this particular issue comes up with certain groups that insist on making assigning LORD, Yahweh, in a higher plane of existence than the Lord, Yeshua, whom they demote to a comparative infirior level. I have notice that you tend to magnify the Father's, the Son's and the Holy Spirit's pronouns... I think that that is an excellent personal practice that both honors and exalts the Holy Trinity! I follow a similar practice... only, I capitalize the adjectives that represent the Holy Trinity as well as their personal pronouns--though I don't remember capitalizing their possessive or reflexive pronouns. I understand what you are saying... Christ as the Head of man denotes His Divinity; while God as the head of Christ denotes their equal standing as Divinity. God Bless! Angel |
