Greetings Doc! You wrote: "I will help you though. I will answer an emphatic "No." So you'll get all excited and say, "I got him pinned down... I disagree!"" First of all, I already stated that in my last post. So, what would be the point of repeating it. Secondly, why would it excite me that we disagree??? You also wrote: "The need to reduce everything to simple answers is a strong psychological one. It gives us the illusion we have things under our thumbs." Insults aside, I simply wanted to make sure that I was clear on your stand my friend. A clear answer would have certainly saved us a couple of posts. ;-) It would be interesting to explore this topic further, but given how the tone is rapidly changing, I will allow your 'no' to simply stand as it is my friend. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you Tim for your stand. I know our Father is pleased that we understand that He needs no help in explaining what He has said in Scripture. The Holy Spirit is quite capable of opening minds at the right time to receive the fullness of His Word. When we force God to open up Scripture to us it is not always the best to our advantage because we won't really see what He is telling us unless we have come to that point in our lives when certain Scripture will mean exactly what it says. If a person is part of the church, God is not going to let a person say, In My Opinion. He is not a God of confusion but unity. We have been bombarded with the thought that we can't know what God is talking about unless someone else explains it to us. That makes the Holy Spirit a wimp. And, I don't think so!. If a part of Scripture is sealed from us, most likely we are not ready to hear it because after hearing it we must act on it. Moreover, some are just not ready; God knows the heart and mind. As Paul says some, still need milk. Thou shall not tempt the Lord thy God. eklektos |
