1 | Do YOU belive in the Bible? | 1 Cor 7:15 | jg8ball | 39069 | ||
I have to disagree with you when you say that the Bible can only be intepreted one way. What about all the different denominations, or Calvinism vs Armeniumism, or Catholic vs Protestant? Aren't these all based on different interpretations of the Bible. Or are you saying that your way is the only true interpretation of the Bible and everyone else is wrong? Everything you write in this forum, unless you are quoting someone or somthing else, is your opinion. Just because you cite a verse, your interpretation is your opinion and may or may not be in agreement with everyone. When you tell me to keep my feelings to a minimum, I "feel" you are missing the whole point of what Jesus told us. Everything He did was for His love of God and His love for us. His feelings. Everything He said was His opinion of how to best interpret God's will based on those feelings. I do not know about you, but my "feelings" are based on what I have learned (to date) from the Holy Spirit, studying the word of God, and my experiences in interacting with others. Our feelings are very important when trying to help others and making decisions in your life. I believe the Holy Spirit, if allowed, uses our feelings to know the will of God. In some cases I agree that citing scripture verses should be used (such as showing that Jesus died for ALL people and not SOME people) but I did not feel it was necessary at that point in the exchange about her abusive husband. If she would have asked for biblical references, I would have given them. Matthew 22:36-40 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Isn't LOVE a feeling? It's through my Love for God and those in need that I attempt to offer my "opinions" or "feelings" (or interpretation of the Bible) not based on a whim, but on my continuing walk with Jesus. Am I wrong in my thinking? |

7 | Do YOU belive in the Bible? | 1 Cor 7:15 | jg8ball | 39232 | ||
Yes, Love is a feeling. What does that have to do with faith? Are you trying not to make sense or do you find pleasure in tormenting others for no good reason? | ||||||

j8ball: I am in agreement with you here. Apparently some do take pleasure in tormenting others. And, don't forget that according to some, empathy -- defined as "the action of or capacity for understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another" -- that empathy is not a desirable trait to find in a Christian. (According to some.) |
