Love Fountain I'm sorry I thought we were talking about believers. Let me restate, ‘the Bible was written to be clearly understood by all believers’. Now I think we are in agreement unless your going to say the Bible is only clearly understood by a group of believers that come to the same conclusions as you. Again I say the Bible was written to be clearly understood by (believers) but because we read it with preconceived notions, prejudices, and in open violation of the rules of grammar we come to different and at times conflicting conclusions. Again I challenge you, learn to do inductive Bible study (if you don’t already) and then study a book of the Bible using those principals and see for yourself, in most cases your theology will be challenged. When we remove our prejudices, our past teaching, read within context, following established rules of grammar and eliminate preconceived notions most Bible passages read a little different than we supposed. If this is not the case on your part then all I can say is a I stand in awe of you. I will leave it up to you to figure out why. Be Blessed and be a Blessing EdB |

Dear EdB, Thanks again for you response. In regards to the challenge, I do in depth Bible study and every time I do I learn something new, but perhaps something I said has led you to the conlusion that I do not. So I went back through your postings to me on this thread and found the following statement by you, "I think just the opposite is true. I think much of the problem today is because men have put away what the bible has told them and rely on their "sincere heart". I think you have said this because of what I said, in reference to Matt 13:15, that people need to search and understand with a sincere heart. To say one must understand with his heart is figurative. We see that figuratively speaking, the Greek word for heart kardia, is in reference to the mind. Greek 2588 in the Strongs is the word for heart in Matt 13 as follows, kardia (kar-dee-ah); prolonged from a primary kar (Latin, cor, "heart"); the heart, i.e. (figuratively) the thoughts or feelings (mind); also (by analogy) the middle: KJV - (broken-) heart (-ed). Bless you, Love Fountain |

Love Fountain I realized you were talking figuratively and I also. You were speaking of having an earnest desire to read and understand the Word. I was doing a play on words and said with and too said with the heart only I meant they were seeking to read the Word in agreement with their understanding or heart. EdB |
