1 | Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stak | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89280 | ||
I see so many questions here. I am gratefull for them for they make me think and research. What I simply don't understand is WHY there are so many LAZY people where the WORD of God is concerned. It is ones MORTAL SOUL at Stake. Why do people ALWAYS turn to people for the interpritation of Gods word? Surely in this country today, bibles are readily available to everyone who has a desire to have one. Oh, but I don't understand what I read? Are you Stupid? 1 a : slow of mind : OBTUSE b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason : Or are you simply Lazy? not easily aroused to activity. LAZY suggests a disinclination to work or to take trouble *convenience foods for lazy cooks*. INDOLENT suggests a love of ease and a settled dislike of movement or activity *the heat made us all indolent*. SLOTHFUL implies a temperamental inability to act promptly or speedily when action or speed is called for *fired for being slothful about filling orders*. If one reads the word they will learn that they will eventually learn it. So why can we not learn from the experiances of others? Just wondering... George |

Hi George, I tend to believe it goes deeper than either of the above, and can be traced back much further than today. 1 Samuel 8:5-7 is a perfect example. 5 And said unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy sons walk not in thy ways: now make us a king to judge us like all the nations. 6 But the thing displeased Samuel, when they said, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel prayed unto the LORD. 7 And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them. Israel 'wanted to be like the other nations.' They rejected the personal relationship God had with them for a king. Secondly, men craving personal power and glory have always used this odvious flaw by in the human character to woe them to let these men of power to 'tell them what to do'. The Pharasees were the ones with the. John 11:41 48 If we let him thus alone, all men will believe on him: and the Romans shall come and take away both our place and nation. People have always sought out leaders to communicated to God for them, to tell them how they should act...just as long as they do not have to 'enter' the presence of God themselves. And some come to realize they can,and they desire to do so and then they break free. God bless |

Graceful: How does Ephes. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; [KJV] fit in what you are discussing. We all have a obligation to seek the truth through study of God's word. If we desire to be disciles and not just followers of Christ, it absolutely necessary that we study. I think that the gifts of Jesus, the apostle, the prophet, the evangelist, the pastor and the teacher, are necessary to bring us from follower to disciple. Ephes. 4:12-15 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: [KJV] Thank you Lord Jesus.

Hello Asis, The question was asked why some do not seek the truth of scripture but rely on men to seek for them...Not SHOULD men do this. My point was that this is not a cultural thing but a human nature thing, and many have not, and will not seek truth for themselves. God bless |

This is MEAT and NOT intended for those on milk. Is not sin a "human nature thing?" Does not man create the culture around him? As for those who "will not seek truth for themselves," I have only pity, and would shake the dust from my feet where they are concerned. As for the many who have not; They have not because they ask not; They ask not because of either Stupidity, Lazyness or Ignorance; All of which can be overcome, and none of which will be excusable in the day of judgement. Is it not the adults place to properly train up the children? If one is more concerned with the feelings of others and "Political correctness" than presenting the word in its virgin form, .... All I can say is that one can't please Man AND God. One has to choose to please one or the other. George |

George, All in this type of environment are there because they have rejected truth..Some have not heard it, some who are studying have not matured or developed spiritually to the point of recognizing this truth.(revelation) Don't write them off so quickly. If the Holy Spirit has placed someone bound this way in your path, I would not shake the dust off until the Holy Spirit tells you to. We as humans are incapable of seeing the flickering life in someone's soul but God does, and He may be using you to 'fan the flame'. Isaiah 42:3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth. God bless |
