Kalos, I "guess" I'm not up to sparring with you on this. I suspect (yes, this is MY OPIONION) that some participants are so legalistic in their approach to the Word that they miss the Spirit of it. As a reference I would commend to you Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Changing topics . . . Guilty as charged. |

And I suspect that some participants are so subjective in their approach to interpreting Scripture that they miss the letter and the Spirit and the meaning of it. Carefully studying and interpreting the Word does not automatically make a person an unfeeling legalist or a Pharisee. Nor does interpreting according to one's emotions automatically make a person spiritually superior. |

I agree Kalos, careful studying and interpreting God's Word are paramount to the believer's walk with the Lord, and I agree, to interpret according to emotions is dangerous territory. It has been MY practice to seek confirmation of the Holy Spirit's prompting through the study of the Scriptures, prayer, circumstances and other believers (ie this Forum does qualify at times. God has been faithful to respond to my seeking of Him and His will. But what is this nonsense about spiritual superiority? Each member of Christ's body has significance and value. Some are babes, some are in the throes of adolecence, just learning to exercize their faith and others are full grown(grouchy)men and women, who SHOULD be (and act)as mature in the Lord as they think they are! We are to encourage one another and use our God-given gifts to build up the body until we all reach unity in Christ. (My but are we a long way from THAT . . .oops, MY OPINION again) See Eph 4:11-16. Anyway, I (and perhaps othere here)would really like to know: how has God specifically directed you from His Word in your life circumstances? I look forward to your testimony. mommapbs |
