Not yet, You stated in your recent post: “I am of no "opinion" not depicted in scripture.” Then closed with: “Respectfully defending the faith.” May I ask whose faith you are defending? From what Scripture shows us, God is more than capable of defending His own. A few selected verses: Jeremiah 50:34 (NIV) Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his name. He will vigorously defend their cause so that he may bring rest to their land, but unrest to those who live in Babylon. Zechariah 9:8 (NIV) But I will defend my house against marauding forces. Never again will an oppressor overrun my people, for now I am keeping watch. Luke 12:10-12 (NIV) 10And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven. 11"When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, 12for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say." Zechariah 12:8 (NASB) "In that day the LORD will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the one who is feeble among them in that day will be like David, and the house of David will be like God, like the angel of the LORD before them. 1 Corrinthians 1:7-9 (NIV) 7Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. 8He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful.

Is it that you too, can not understand my words? Please do not take offence, but I cannot help but to wonder how it is that so many are so good at copy and paste, yet retain so little as to ask such a question in this matter. As to who's faith I defend, those who know more than simply how to copy and paste what is professed herein, have no such question. I will only put you in mind of 1Ti 6:12. My profession is good. It is founded on the solid rock of scripture. That there are those who disagree, makes it no less valid. They have every right to believe and profess as they will. I, also have the right to believe, and profess as scripture commands. This is another picture of what was in my mind when I originated this post. My sincere apology if my words are stronger than need be. I mean no ill will toward anyone. I believe as I believe, and what I believe is scripture. That others may read what I read differently, there is no doubt. I read scripture with the rest in mind. In Him and agreeing to disagree. |
