1 | Another Counselor? | Is 9:6 | BradK | 113195 | ||
Punkiedo, One of the things I've learned in my brief existence is to listen to the counsel of others. In my experience, this is more easily said, than done. I've realized that I simply don't know everything:-) The older I get, the more wisdom I aquire- however age alone does not equate with wisdom. One of my favorite examples in scripture is Prov. 19:20 "Listen to counsel and accept discipline, That you may be wise the rest of your days." Specifically, Proverbs says much about wisdom and Scripture does seem to imply that wisdom is aquired over time and is not necessarily imbued at an early age. I'm going to step out on a limb to offer this point of observation: For someone so young, you seem to possess and inordinate and even extraordinary comprehension of scripture which many of us have somehow failed to grasp! I don't say this with any malice or mean-spirited intent, but simply to challenge your pride and ask that you consider the "well-seasoned" advice of other brothers in the Lord. Don't be so flippant in your disregard of others advice! James 4:6 says,"But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble." You may may not be as fully informed as you think:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

I appreciate your information Brad. I practically teethed on the church pew. I understand what you are saying. I feel no pride. This truth is not MY truth, it is God's. I do not feel that I have in anyway lifted myself up. Those who know me know that I have no pride to speak of. I only speak of my Jesus. You know that song "Alabaster Box" by CeCe Winans? That is me. You don't know my story. You don't know where I have come from, where I have been. I am adamant about what I believe. I apologize if you find my ways offensive, I am only contending for my faith. Jude 1 2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. 3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. 4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and (And is also translated EVEN) our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Is God, Punkiedo |

Punkiedo, They do not know that your confidence comes from the Holy Ghost. They mistake this for pride. I have been accused of the same thing. | ||||||
