1 | Release and Faith Question | Rev 22:18 | Radioman2 | 91397 | ||
Tim: You write: "Not one single verse ever says that God did anything by faith!" Good observation. The very idea that God has faith or releases His faith is absurd. God has faith in what? In Himself? Does God need to walk by faith and not by sight? It just seems crazy to say that the One in Whom we have faith also needs to have faith before He can do anything. Since He is all-knowing and all-powerful, why does He need to have faith? Radioman2 |

2 | Release and Faith Question | Rev 22:18 | Hank | 91402 | ||
Radioman, this "faith in faith" mania that is pervading so many churches assumes that faith itself is the supreme source of power -- "believe it and speak it and you will have it." Therefore, proceeding on this utterly false permise that faith is the ultimate source of power, would not one need to follow it to its inevitable conclusion that even God in order to retain His power must necessarily have faith too? These off-the-wall heresies have a way of leading down bizarre and slippery paths. Sometimes it makes one wonder whatever happened to orthodox Christianity. --Hank | ||||||

Like art museums don't attract as many visitors as circuses and carnivals? Or classical music as rock? Or Shakespeare as comic books? Or biblical expositional preachers as Kenny Copeland or Benny the Hinn? --Hank | ||||||

6 | Release and Faith Question | Rev 22:18 | Hank | 91735 | ||
No, angel, I'm not an artist. But I know the Artist of heaven and earth -- the Potter -- and I'm grateful to be a small piece of His clay! May my prayer -- and yours -- ever be, "Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way! Thou art the Potter; I am the clay. Mold me and make after Thy will, while I am waiting, yielded and still." --Hank | ||||||

Oh yes--lately I have such a sense of being "the clay" i am being pushed-pulled -carved -and (here's the best part)--not even ready for the kiln--the good part is that He has shown me that my imperfections are seen because I stand in the light and that He isn't afraid to let the world see HIS WORKS IN PROGRESS--in Him angel 9 | ||||||
