1 | Are there (then) no mysteries? | 1 Cor 4:1 | charis | 2136 | ||
Dear Xapis, Time to go to church. Without being flippant, I must say that it seems that you have the 'answers.' My point is that, though we may have faith to know Christ, we don't have the 'answers' until we meet Him in heaven, or 'in the air.' Maybe I'm just dense, or maybe I'm just honest :-) I don't know about you, but after 21 years of marriage, I still don't have the 'answers.' It continues to be a mystery to me how the Lord bound us together in the first place, and how He causes me to love my beloved wife more each day. It is my experience that those who claim 'knowledge' are shocked when their ignorance is made evident. I am convinced that this is so in the Lord, as in everything else. Yes, Christ is revealed! But we are far from 'complete' knowledge, as evidenced by the splintered Church. Love in Jesus' name, charis |

2 | Are there (then) no mysteries? | 1 Cor 4:1 | Xapis | 2142 | ||
I don't have all the answers, but I have struggled with these questions myself, and the things that I add are the things that make the most sense to me. I go under the assumption that we are all adding the things that we have been taught together to bring us closer, in knowledge, to the truth. Yet knowledge does puff up. I also have almost 21 years of marriage, and I don't understand the unity that we have and have had since day one. However I don't confuse the mystery(modern english usage) of how with the mystery(NT defined) of what, since there are two different concepts here. I state the same concept a little differently, ignorance causes arrogance. If I come across as arogant, and apparently I do, I apologize. I don't want to waste your time with unwrapping the substance of what I believe. I lay it out for others to evaluate, and not without thought. I believe that I remain teachable, maybe I need to be taught how to interact on-line. As far as having the answers, I also have teenagers, so I obviously know that I don't have all the answers. Bear with me please, God has made me worth the effort, you will be rewarded. |

Dear Xapis, Please, my friend and colleague, do not misunderstand me. I no way do I consider you arrogant. Truly. I write in my manner only to address the 'whole of us' involved in this forum of ideas and fellowship. I only write 'Dear Xapis,' in order to clarify that I read your comment, and then continue on to address the forum. (Sounds like ancient Rome. I begin to understand how Julius felt :-) I fear that I am often misunderstood in this way, and I am sorry. The only way I know to alleviate this is to write to my Hotmail address in my user profile. I am certain that if you get to know me, I am not (quite) as obnoxious as some may think. I am afraid that I am a preacher by nature, please forgive. Many blessings to you, Xapis, and to all the saints in the Forum. In Christ Jesus, charis |
