1 | sharing our faith to unbelievers so hard | 1 Cor 1:18 | Jesusman | 199789 | ||
Is there some huge falicy in supporting what you teach others? Is it some giant sin that I'm not aware of? In the course of this discussion, I've been accused of throwing the Bible away, speaking for God, not trusting God, even so far as not having Faith in God, and worse. Quite frankly, I'm tired of it. What happened to research and study? What happened with trying to pull out every ounce of understanding from a passage of scripture? This is a "STUDY" Bible forum isn't it? Or have I been going to the wrong place for the past few years? Studying the Bible involves more than reading a text from the bible and praying about it. Hermaneutics is the study into the background of the Bible. Exegesis is a study into the context and language of the text and pulling out the meaning. Apologetics is defending the faith against other religions and beliefs. All of these areas involve not simply reading the text of scripture, but also involves the history and culture of the land and time surrounding and pertaining to the text of scripture. My entire original point at the start of this mess was to simply incorporate that level of study into your witness. Adding in some additional truths and support that may not be found in the Bible, but will help support the Bible isn't wrong. You're not speaking for God, throwing the Bible away, or anything of the sort. So where's the Big huge sin???? Jesusman |

pride? Dude, you keep talking about being accused of something. So what! If God is for you who can be against you? Jesusman, obviously it's not a sin, and no-one is accusing you of sining. Although you are a sinner by the way, and again, SO WHAT-!! We are all sinners saved by grace! Is it because you might have to admit you may be wrong-!! oh no-!!! Heaven forbid-!!!!!..... Again,... I ask,.... is it,.... pride? Or is it that you just don't get what we all are so vehement about? I'm not trying to put you down or trying to make you look like you don't know what you are talking about. Frankly I don't care to much how I look, as long as I'm a reflection of Him. I'm really trying very hard to figure out where you are coming from, cause Dude, I really don't get it. I've been a Christian for like a couple of seconds, compared to how long you have, and I don't understand you at all. You talk about going to school. Man I haven't had the benefit of a formal education, and sometimes I'm glad when I see what comes out of it! Get over yourself! Grow up! IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! IT'S ABOUT GOD! |
