1 | How do we receive Him? As Guest/Owner? | John 1:12 | Mommapbs | 164095 | ||
Jeff - We probably agreee on more things than meets the eye, but at this point I suggest that we conclude this dialog. I'm obviously not the "student" that you are but in my simple understanding I do sense God speaking to me through His word. I find it difficult to limit God to "contextual" apprehension, much to the dismay of many on this site, hence I post seldomly. Perhaps it is best, when God gives me something to ponder, that I just keep it to myself . . . In Christ, mommapbs |

OK momma, Thanks again for participating. And thanks for encouraging me to look deeper into this issue. these types of discussion always lead to my considering and learning more. Consdidering the "contextual apprehension" though. Context is the only way to understand the bible and it's message. We have only to look at history to see how lack of context has lead to false teachings. The study of God's word takes energy and time (effort). It is our responsibility, and in truth, it, along with prayer, is how we seek Him. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Eph 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: Again, thank you for participating, Jeff |
