Thank you Doc for your effort, may the Lord bless you for your time was well spent. As I stated in my post to you above, "....and as I am sure this has been debated many times before on this forum and throughout the ages, May I ask you now, to return to the original question at hand?" this makes me really wonder whether you actually read the posts that you reply to. So, when you say, "The affection that people have for their own self determinism, entrenches this presupposition so deeply that neither logic nor authority can hope to dislodge it" Do understand that this applies to yourself as closely as it does to anyone else? Sorry, but the 27th Chapter does not exist in my copy of Knowledge of the Holy by Tozer, c.1961 -It goes no further than chapter 23. In His Love, keliy we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth. (1 Cor 8:1) |

Hi keliy: Just read the thread, here are my thoughts if I may. The Lot being cast, was always to give to God the preeminance, in the decision making process, that there would not arise any preferance "for, or against, or by any man". All those taking part in the process of casting the lot, would agree to the final outcome, as being Gods Will. We in the christian world have done the same. Matt. 6:9,10 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. The differance between us, and them. Eph. 5:20 20) "Giving thanks always for all things" unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; Blessings In Christ Nevvvvine |

Hello Nevvvvine, thank you for your input. I myself pray often for God's will to be done, and ask Him to intervene in the direction of my own life I just read your profile, and I totally agree with your statement that most adherents to a specific denomination believe: "We have the truth, and all others are deceived" This applies to JW, Mormons, Protestants, the pope, and muslims equally. I feel this is the danger with denominations, and it is not to be taken lightly. Not everyone can be right, although I have an aunt that thinks so. This thread started out in a verse in Psalms and ended in a dialogue that resembles the Calvinism Armenianism debate. Actually, both sides of that debate are wrong, God's will is somewhere in between and His Holy Spirit knows that there will be arguments about this. Many adherents do not realize the gravity of the sin they are committing by stirring up these debates. It only professes their own pride and ignorance. What we are called to do is to emanate the aroma of Christ. This is done by helping one another understand their obstacles in God's Word, and not by trying to to induce someone to truckle to our own belief system. Thank you for your heart, keliy |

Greetings keliy! Trick question for you! Do nondenominational adherents have the truth and are all denominational adherents deceived? Just curious since you say the denominations are a danger because they each say they have the truth. Couldn't help but wonder were that left the nondenominational adherents???? The argument is sort of self defeating isn't it? It's nothing more then an attempt to discredit the position of denominational adherents in favor of nondenominational adherents. I know a lot of nondenominational churches and members use this argument as you have but I've often wondered if they ever see how self defeating the argument is. Or perhaps if it's they think they have the truth and the denominational churches don't then they just don't get it????????? Get the point? Steve |
