1 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101387 | ||
Tell me friend where the Word says "ALL believers" shall do these things? I have faith. I have yet to cast a mountain into the sea though. But I am not going to let this send my soul to hell! There are many things that scripture speaks of that I personally do not understand. Do you, my friend “have” to understand the Word of God before you can accept it? If so, I should think that you are a very smart person, for I can’t say that I fully understand how the internet works or how voice or pictures are transmitted through wires and the air. I am fairly proficient when it comes to computers, but when it comes to the mechanics thereof, I am ignorant. I am very proficient when it comes to refrigeration. Are you? Do you know how your refrigerator produces cold to maintain your foods and beverages? For that matter, can you tell me how it is that cold keeps food from spoiling or how it is that this computer does what it does? My point is that if understanding came before acceptance, the human race would accept very little…. Then where would the internet be? Where would society itself be? What is the difference? When it comes to the eternal existence of our immortal souls, why are we so stubborn? So foolish? So down right HARD HEADED and utterly STUPID! I don’t claim to know all the answers when it comes to the LIVING Word! What I do know is that it is THE LIVING Word of God! There is no doubt in my mind that it is true! This, my dear friend is called “faith.” Through faith, I have received many answers to questions that I have not even formulated in my mind. Through lifes experiences and some limited biblical study, I have received answers to questions that I asked a lifetime ago. There are many scriptures that I do not understand, but I will tell you this; my Lord has never let me down when it comes to providing an answer to those questions that were the deepest in my heart and soul. Those answers were not always as speedily received as I would have liked them to be, but they always came. You seem to be expecting perfection. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 1Co 1:27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; When it comes to eternity, one day many will look back and marvel that they were so down right stupid, BUT it is not too late… Give up your stubbornness and read and heed the first verse I recommended. Meanwhile dear soul, look up Websters definition of the word “reprobate” and pray for all who are given over to it. Exhorting in Christ George |

2 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | Aixen7z4 | 101400 | ||
Easy, Brother George. Pleae go easy. The servant of the Lord must be gentle unto all, patient, in meekness instructing those that ask questions. | ||||||
3 | George, do you believe? | Luke 14:26 | GeorJoy | 101441 | ||
I thank you for your gentle rebuke. However... Dear Brother, if you call this less than gentle, then you don't know harsh, for how can one be a believer if he does not believe in the word of Him whom he profess' belief. This is to call our Savior a liar and to fool ones self. I wonder how many who witnessed Christ speaking to the Scribes and Pharisees thought his statements less than gentle. "But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites... Woe unto you, ye blind guides, which say, Whosoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing; Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets. But woe unto you, Pharisees! Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men that walk over them are not aware of them." How many in this forum would come down heavy on another who used such language as this? I make no appologies for striving to live by, witness by, and boldly state the Word in its unleavened form. My prayer is that by His will, grace and guidance we should all strive to thus. Exhorting in Christ George |
