1 | Was this passage fulfilled B4 Christ? | Ex 23:25 | Lissamz | 146881 | ||
Greetings Doc, Sure I'll expand..."Personally speaking to believers" I define as such. (I'm using myself as an example :-) God spoke to me a couple of weeks ago through a portion of Judges 6:26 "...build an altar to the LORD your God on the top of this stronghold in an orderly manner." This was actually more of a command, now that I think about it, but continuing...There were some issues in my immediate family, that I was being tempted to fall into (complaining and grumbling to be specific), but through this passage the Lord showed me that He wanted me to build an altar of sacrifice of thanksgiving and praise in my mind and in front of my family members, instead of falling into line with them. Now, for promises that personally speak to believers as a whole...(whew, there are so many), but one of my favorites is 2 Thess. 2:13 "But we should always give thanks to God for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God has chosen you from the beginning for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and faith in the truth." And I don't think that this promise can be 'explained or interpreted' any other way other than the way it is presented in the Word. And, more so even, the command to "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." (Gal. 5:16) is just that- a COMMAND, no personal interpretation needed. And personal application is simple, with no needed "frillys"- Walk by the Spirit. I believe strongly that reading Scripture is one thing- Applying it in our lives is a totally different ballpark. Heb. 2:4 in the NIV says "For we also have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith." |

Dear Lissa, Thank you for the explanation. Although my tradition would handle all of that somewhat differently, it might well have come out with the same effect. In other words, I'm comfortable with your approach. :-) There is a short aphorism that states what you are saying, "There is only one interpretation, but there are many applications." Thank you for your time, sister. In Him, Doc |
