1 | Should Women Wear Hats? | 1 Cor 11:4 | DocTrinsograce | 203955 | ||
Hi, Val... I don't think it is pride, per se -- although that's a component. I think it is simply how our deceitful hearts operate (Matthew 15:16-20). Ultimately we want to be our own god. Alternatively, we want to serve God in our own way ("same difference" as the kids used to say). Consequently, when someone comes along focusing on the external, all of us are happy to go along with it, since it relieves us of the responsibility of dealing with that nasty, old submission issue. So, given that I have this tendency just as much as anyone else, I have to wonder: What Scriptures am I treating this way so that I don't have to face my own heart's corrupt, rebellious nature? I do know this much: I know its bad... but I'd bet that the actual number is a lot worse than I imagine! In Him, Doc |

Dear Doc, this is Tam, just caught on to how the threads work. Interesting that you and Val chose to say the things I am finding here, but were both unwilling to say them directly to me... As I said to John, I hope I am still teachable to you... If I see a scripture that applies to something I ask something or use it in a reply which is why the thread got so long (John complained to me that I took up too much space and was making a big deal out of nothing important). If someone mentions a scripture to me I say something in return if I see something about that scripture... I wish you had chosen to correct me if you felt I was treating the original scripture as a mere external practice in order not to see my own hearts rebellious nature. You out of every one I did not expect to find something like this here. | ||||||
