EdB, I have a question, and i'm hoping you can give me some scriptural reffernce for this. you seem to say that the answer to everyhthing can be found if we look for it in the bible. I am curious in what verse does it say that the jews of this time wanted a king so they would not have to deal with God? please let me know where u find this. |

Schmythe, You asked: "you seem to say that the answer to everyhthing can be found if we look for it in the bible. I am curious in what verse does it say that the jews of this time wanted a king so they would not have to deal with God?" This can be found in 1 Samuel chapter 8. Also, 2 Tim 3 15and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. |

maybe it is the translation i have (new living translation) but it does not say it was because they did not want to deal w/ God. the closest i can find is 1 samuel 8: 7 "Do as they say," the Lord replied, "for it is me they are rejecting, not you. They don't want me to be their king any longer." This does not say anything about the jews wanting a man because his judgement can be clouded. please let me know if this is just my translation or if i am looking in the wrong place. | ||||||

Schmythe, EdB simply gave an analysis of man's sinful nature versus God's perfection and holiness. Many scriptures taken together tell us how man shys away from God's light, due to their sinful nature. John 3 19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God." Exodus 19 21 and the LORD said to him, "Go down and warn the people so they do not force their way through to see the LORD and many of them perish. 22 Even the priests, who approach the LORD , must consecrate themselves, or the LORD will break out against them." Exodus 20 18 When the people saw the thunder and lightning and heard the trumpet and saw the mountain in smoke, they trembled with fear. They stayed at a distance 19 and said to Moses, "Speak to us yourself and we will listen. But do not have God speak to us or we will die." |

I realize this, but my point is that not everything is show in scripture, somethings must be thought over and discussed with others. Which seems to me to be the opposite of what the rest of this discussion thread would advise. | ||||||

There is nothing wrong with discussing things with others. However, godly council is best: 2 Cor 6 14Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[2] ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: "I will live with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people."[3] 17"Therefore come out from them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you."[4] 18"I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters, says the Lord Almighty." |

You are very correct in the point you make. However, this thread has to do with (or so my understanding goes) those christians that are "lazy" whom I tend to view as those that need guidence. But yes Amen to what you say. But scripture also says Mark 4: 21 "He said to them, "Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don't you put it on its stand?" Just because there is evil in the world we should not hide away from it, but you are right we must always be careful to keep ourselves from being sucked in. God bless | ||||||
