1 | The league must be broken | Bible general Archive 4 | stjohn | 216481 | ||
"The Gospel leaves men, unless upon extraordinary occasions, their names, their reputations, their wealth and honors, if lawfully obtained and possessed; but the league that is between the mind and these things in all natural men must be broken. They must be no longer looked upon as the chiefest good or in the place thereof." John Owen |

Greetings St John! Good post! When Festus said "Paul, your great learning is driving you mad!" (Acts 26:24), I am sure that Paul was not too offended in regards to his education, especially in light of Philippians 3:7-8: Phil 3:7 But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Phil 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, Blessings to you, Makarios |

Dear Makarios, First of all, thanks for the encouragement! It is ironic isn't it? Festus took that which was a positive and good thing, (i.e. Paul's great education) -and though 'we believers' are not to hold these things up as idols- then he (Festus) tried to spin it into something negative. Like so many non-believers today, and indeed, just like I was, they will use some of the most inane logic to make the case for unbelief. Thanks for the great verses too! Very befitting to the subject my friend. John |

John, Good day my brother. That's where I was at for many years, but what made me particularly dangerous was that I was trying to make all my corrupt and bias thinking biblically based. What a shame and unfortunatly that kind of thinking is still out there. In Him, lionheart |
