1 | "fear of finding truth"? | Rom 14:12 | gracefull | 89640 | ||
Ed explained well how this fits in the subject though he did not use the word fear...fear comes when we know we are in sin and the presence of the HOLY GOD is odviously near...Adam and Eve hid from 'fear'. Fear, other than the reverence for things HOLY, ie..fear of man, fear of bodily harm, fear of rejection, fear of making a mistake, can paralyze us to the point of being blind spiritually. But if one sits under the Word and reads the Word and prays, God will challenge the fearful by revealing the fear and by revealing His promise to be our strength in weakness and to be faithful always and to 'FEAR NOT'. Then it becomes 'choice', disobedience. All are not fearful of finding the truth, some who are fearful when they find the truth...RUN TO FREEDOM! God bless |

2 | "fear of finding truth"? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89655 | ||
Ok. I hadn't thought of it that way. And I hadn't read between Eds lines (at least, that's the phrase I like use.) Sort of puts me in mind of the term "Scaired Stupid." Why do such words as stupid and ignorant always put people, even Christians on the defense? Even when such words aren't directed at them? Ignorance is not an excuse, but who is not ignorant to one degree or another concerning one or another matter? Stupidity is a different story though. In my humble opinion, it is one who was born with the handicap or simply loves ignorance. George |

The words ignorant or stupid convey a message of extreme vulnerability which we do not like to acknowledge. Sort of like someone poking you in the ribs from behind. At least that's probably some responses. If we believe we are seeking the Lord and His wisdom at our best, then someone comes along and speaks of ignorance and stupidity, our first response would be..I am doing my best!...But it is really not about doing our best but more about remembering we are fallible, and we always need to stay humble in our search for truth! Then we KNOW despite all our 'revelation', we still only have minischule UNDERSTANDING of HIM. These are my thoughts, God bless |
