1 | Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stak | Rom 14:12 | Asis | 89371 | ||
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 |
