1 | Why two tablets ??? | Is 33:22 | swerv | 152786 | ||
Hi Doc: I appreciate the quotes but this is my problem: Many doctrines have been developed within Christianity based on human understanding. I do not say this includes you - but I am going to come to find "truth" by "reasoning" the scriptures. I would be the first to admit that I read interpretations by others but in the course of our discussion I suggest we stick to "reasoning" the controversial scriptures. How do understand 2 Peter 3:9, Ezekiel 18:32, Jeremiah 13:23, Revelation 22:17. These verse are absolutely clear that God will not control our free will to love Him. It is just like our human relationships - a person cannot control our heart. Just like the Pharisees they could outwardly show obedience to God but their hearts were hardened. We have a free choice !!!! God "can" but He will not control our love. Now of course once we do "freely" choose to follow Him then He will lead us to make good choices and avoid sin. In love, Merv |

Dear Merv, Human understanding is what we've got, buddy. God gave it to us. He also gave us the Word, pastors, elders, teachers, and one another. Plus a long rich history of deliberation of the Word of God. If you chuck out human understanding, then why even post any position at all? Don't you assume that I will understand your posts based on my "human reasoning?" You can't use human reasoning to throw out huma reasoning! :-) "Divisions and separations are most objectionable in religion. They weaken the cause of true Christianity ...But before we blame people for them, we must be careful that we lay the blame where it is deserved. False doctrine and heresy are even worse than schism. If people separate themselves from teaching that is positively false and unscriptural, they ought to be praised rather than reproved. In such cases separation is a virtue and not a sin." --J. C. Ryle "Men today do not, perhaps, burn the Bible, nor does the Roman Catholic Church any longer put it on the Index, as it once did. But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history..." --Francis Schaeffer Why should I deliberate with you over the verses you have cited since you have not bothered to deliberate with me over the verses that I have cited? In Him, Doc |
