1 | how can suicide be the same | Eph 5:29 | Bows44 | 155724 | ||
Dear Doc, Well at least this attempt makes more sense than the first. But I am not denying scripture by asking for greater understanding of it. I may not use the words you think I should use all of the time, but the intention is pure. By asking for understanding, I am admitting the problem is with my understanding and not the Word. Try thinking the best of me instead of the worst. 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4 Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, 5 does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, 6 does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Yours in Christ, Bows44 |

Dear Bows... I never intended to imply that any of your questions were anything but honest inquiries. :-) My pastor once said, "I always believe I am right, but I do not believe that I am always right." In other words, we wouldn't believe what we believe if we didn't think it was correct at the time we believe it. :-) Finding the right words is a discipline that is very important. Words are our most fundamental means of communicating. We believe in the inerrancy of Scripture as it was written; i.e., the original words. Since God uses such care to preserve His Word and to communicate exactly what He means, nothing more and nothing less; and we are to be imitators of God; then it follows that we ought to learn to take care of how we say things. Since no one is a master at this, I am sure that over time you will help me in this respect as well. Indeed, you already have, as you questioned several times exactly what I meant. If I were really good at this thing we call language, you wouldn't have had to ask! :-) In Him, Doc |
