1 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | Hank | 8451 | ||
Verbatim, here's what you said, shogun: "The scriptures are a source that helps us see how the Lord interacts with his creation but is no substitute for our relationship with God." ....... The Word of God (Scripture) is not merely "A" source, it is "THE" source which defines our relationship with God and and by means of which we are led into a right relationship with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ. The Scriptures are not a "substitute" for anything. They are the inerrant Word of Almighty God. Read the following passages and tell me where I'm wrong: 2 Tim. 3:16; Acts 1:16; Heb. 3:7; 2 Pet.1:21; Luke 24:27; James 1:21-23; Luke 11:28; Heb. 4:12; Col.3:16; Rom. 1:2; Is. 34:16; Rom. 3:2; 1 Pet.4:11; John 5:39; Acts 10:43; 1 Cor.15:3; Prov.6:23; 2 Tim. 3:15; Ps.19:7; Rom.15:4; James 1:18; John 20:31; John 15:3; Ps.17:4. If, having read these passages, you feel a need for more proof, I can supply you with twice as many more. --Hank | ||||||
2 | The dream was from God? | Heb 1:1 | kalos | 8466 | ||
Hank: Thank you for your note which begins "Verbatim, here's what you said..." You write and I agree, "The Word of God (Scripture) is not merely "A" source, it is "THE" source which defines our relationship with God and and by means of which we are led into a right relationship with Him through the Lord Jesus Christ." Recent postings of certain persons indicate that those persons have less esteem for and dependence upon the Word of God than is fitting. "The Scriptures are not a "substitute" for anything." How true, yet at least one post-er in his writings has substituted sarcasm for intelligence and a sense of superiority for humility. He has also substituted what he alone sees as a witty writing style for sound answers that include biblical support. He also presumes to know the thoughts, feelings, intent and motives of another person after reading a couple of paragraphs written by the other. And after misreading, misunderstanding and misinterpreting them at that. Maybe he reads the Bible with the same cavalier approach. If one is looking for trouble, one will likely find it. |

I think this might merit a rather candid response from me with regard to your comments. Personal character assinations are not an appropriatre rebuttal to the pennings of one that you do not know or love, and so I begin: having missed my point and ventured in the the shallow water looking for deeper things, don't you think that you should at least ask what I meant? In no way will I find myself on the bus of dismissing scripture as if it were some cork-board garages sale poster. And me thinks that you have mis-intrepreted some of the writings of someone as if he/she were dismissing scripture. Aux Contraire', the focus was on our "RELATIONSHIP" with the Lord. Are not the Law and the Prophets summed up in two commandments? "Love the Lord thy God with all you got (condensed a bit), and love your neighbor as yourself" (Jesus said this)? So where do we find ourselves with respect to the writings of those who thoughtfully put to paper (or whatever they had)experience/history/prophecy and what today we call "The Scriptures". Of couse maybe this issue is stuck in between dispensations. Does God speak to us today (I mean "speak") or does He specifically speak to us by the scriptures? Can't imagine how he would have told me to go to a specific bus stop and someone would be there whom I would minister to, using just the scriptures. I, for one, happen to enjoy sarcasm, if done properly it brings a laugh or two! And I would dare you call this person "unintelligent"...well, you shouldn't use that approach anyway. YOu say: "He also presumes to know the thoughts, feelings,...et al". And yet you presume to know HIS thoughts and feelings: "at least one post-er in his writings has substituted sarcasm for intelligence....". So see the log in you own eye before addressing a perceived splinter in another! Maybe I could have summed this up as "chill out", but lively discussions are good and hashing out things is also good! Having 5 sons, experience ha s proven that "as iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another". Um, that's in the Bible. For better reading, go to the Book of Assumptions. Blessings! |
