1 | What was Eve's sin? | Gen 3:6 | Lionstrong | 5481 | ||
Prov 27:17 Iron sharpens iron, So one man sharpens another. John 17:21 that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me. Hank, These two verses express my view of the use of this forum. You all know that there are very different opinions among true believers in this forum (whether you count me as one is up to you). I see the forum as a place where I can express my opinions (not in an argumentative or malicious way, though God knows I'm fully capable of being that way) and have other Bible believers either sharpen my views or show me from Scripture where I'm wrong, and trust God to grant me repentance if I am wrong. I enjoy this forum. I'm not here to be controversial, and I'm here for the benefit of clarifying my beliefs, coming to one mind with other believers, and to be a sharpening tool for others. In Him who is our peace, Lionstrong |

2 | What was Eve's sin? | Gen 3:6 | charis | 5498 | ||
Dear Lionstrong, Indeed, iron sharpens iron! If I may be allowed, I will share a personal experience. I worked at a Japanese steakhouse years ago, and learned a lot about fine cutlery and it's maintenance. Some chefs would go out to their station and put on a fine show of 'swordsmanship' and skill with a knife. Their blades were honed, but the skill was in their wielding of the tool. Other chefs were constantly making a public show of sharpening their knives, so much so that their expensive blades were soon reduced to a nubbin. But their job of cutting and serving food was subpar. Also, as a former carpenter, I can testify that an ultra-sharp saw doesn't necessarily cut any straighter :-) As Nolan Keck said, "We should examine ourselves to see what our motives are before logging onto the Forum." I will try to do so. In Christ Jesus, charis |
