1 | God the Son as a confession of faith | John 17:22 | Theo-Minor | 126588 | ||
[1st John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received of Him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you, but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him.] [Hebrews 8:10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts, and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:] [Romans 2:14-15 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Which show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another.] [Romans 13:9 For this, You shall not commit adultery, you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not vocet; and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, namely, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."] [2nd Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness; That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished to all good works.] [Matthew 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send to you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them you shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall you scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:] [2nd Peter 1:19-21 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as to a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the morning star rises in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.] [1st Timothy 1:5 The goal of our instruction is love from a pure heat, a clear conscience, and sincere faith.] The scriptures are to be interpreted by the individual, through the Holy Spirit, by the understanding and inspiration of love. They are not open to private interpretation, because the New Testament writings are those of prophets, and no scripture of prophecy is open to private interpretation. Love is the goal of their instruction, as well as the commandment of Christ, so when in doubt, look to love. When lacking direct statements, your heart will bear witnesses to your deeds by your conscience, and you will show the works of the law written on your heart. By this will you be judged when lacking direct command. Let the Spirit be your guide. You do not need any man to teach you. All you need will be found either in the scriptures, which are profitable for doctrine, correction, etc., or in your heart by a spirit of love through the Holy Spirit. If anyone disagrees with this post, I expect the disagreement to be a polite exchange, founded in solid, contextual scripture. Don't call me anymore names. Theo-Minor |

2 | God the Son as a confession of faith | John 17:22 | EdB | 126681 | ||
Theo-Minor Thank you! You more than anyone proves my point. If the readers will just do a search on your name they will many perfect examples why Orthodoxy is so important. Why deciding for yourself which way to go when left up to the individual is so precarious. You have made my point better than anything I could do or say. EdB |
