1 | We are to do the opposite of this verse. | Rom 16:17 | Hank | 44389 | ||
tomn, from your updated post and your helpful hint contained therein, I infer (well, almost) that your meaning is that believers should do the opposite of the bad things this verse speaks against, viz., they should NOT cause dissentions and hindrances contrary to the teaching they have learned. If that is your meaning -- and I'm yet not convinced that it is -- then that is not what you said in your post to which I formerly responded. I'm about average, give or take a few points, at being able to extract meaning from what is said; I fall flat in my ability to guess at what may or may not be meant. So you may have to spell it out for me in the simple terms in which this old Arkansan is accustomed to think!.... It is, of course, flattering to read your words to me, "You appear thoughtful." It rather shocked me to read them, because rarely am I thus accused, and I do thank you! --Hank | ||||||
2 | We are to do the opposite of this verse. | Rom 16:17 | tomn | 44583 | ||
Hank, my understanding of this verse is that we are to only avoid a specific kind of dissensions and hindrances. Which are those that are contrary to the teaching we have learned from God. Which also means that there are some d and h's that are not contrary but are according to the teaching and so we are to be doing them. Such as the contending for the faith in Jude 3. If this does not answer all your questions, I will try again. Also, praise God for being thus accused, for it is only by His work in me that I do it. | ||||||
