1 | What To Shut Your Mind Against | 2 Tim 2:23 | kalos | 170159 | ||
Mark: You ask: "What if we disagree with another? Say I have chosen to ignore a question, but someone else has chosen to answer? Should I fault them for answering? I reply: No, neither you nor I should fault them for answering. You ask: Would my faulting them risk my being in disagreement with God, if perhaps God has led them to answer? I reply: I suppose that whenever we presume to know the will of God for another person, we risk being wrong, being in disagreement with God. You ask: Would I be better to "call" them on it, and inform them that I don't think they are doing the right thing? Or would I be better to pray for them, that they would be fruitful, and bring another to the Lord, or if they are barking up the wrong tree, for the Holy Spirit to give them understanding? I reply: It is always good to pray for another person, that they would be fruitful, etc. But I don't see this as an either/or situation. It could be a both/and situation. Without accusing anyone of anything, why can't I both remind people that we should avoid foolish controversies and at the same time pray for the good of the person who chooses to answer a question? These are my answers to your specific questions. What is my overall view of entertaining questions that might prove to be divisive or lead to contention? It's what I've already said in my earliest posts in this thread. Grace to you, Kalos |

Hi Kalos, Thank you for some very sound answers! :-) One of the more difficult things I have had to learn is to keep my opinions to myself, and let God be the judge. But I will always benefit from Scriptural remainders! Love in Christ, Mark |
