1 | 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. |

2 | Are there (then) no mysteries? | 1 Cor 4:1 | charis | 2148 | ||
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 |
