1 | Another Counselor? | Is 9:6 | punkiedo | 113189 | ||
There was a time when I HATED being a "PK" I felt like I had to be perfect. If she ever needs someone to talk to tell her to contact me. I understand the struggles. I have soft spot in my heart for PK's. We have a bad name amongst a lot of people. And no you didn't come across as rude or anything. To be honest with you, I looked up the word in strongs and you are right it does say allos and it means another, other, or one. But it also says to reference another word. Interestingly enough the word it tells me to reference is Alpha. Which is the first letter of the greek alphabet and used to discribe Christ. So, in essence Jesus is the comforter. You have to read that whole verse to see what Jesus is saying. | ||||||
2 | Another Counselor? | Is 9:6 | BradK | 113196 | ||
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 |
