21 | "fear of finding truth"? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89506 | ||
Gracefull, I'm an ignorant person who happens to be a christian. Will you please clarify your statement? Where, other than "fear of finding truth" does fear fit into this topic? |

22 | With knowledge comes pain and responsibt | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89426 | ||
I once read, "You can buy books, but you can't buy brains." I would add, "you can pay for and earn a degree, but intelligence is free." Unfortunantly if it dosen't come with a price tag, most people overlook it today. Yet, if there is a price to pay, they don't want to pay the price. If I interpriate your comment correctly, I believe we both agree that it would be best to stear clear of the Seminary, or in the very least, to be prayerful and wisely discerning. It seems to me that the worlds history in my lifetime has already been recorded in the New testiment. Doesn't it you? I'm so thankfull that our Lord has blessed so many with the knowledge of what a Pharisee really is. That they would pass their knowledge on without fear of shame and rebuke; that they would feed the flock with the PURE bread and teach them to fish for themselves, is my prayer. George |

23 | You took a wrong turn somewhere.. | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89415 | ||
Justme I believe you may have missed the road all together. Somewhere in your having read this thread, you have missed or misread the roadsigns, and gotten onto a different route all together. Re-read EdB's first response. Then re-read "HERE IS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION" in my response to Mother Superior. I made a "note" somewhere in this thread. Re-read that one too. I once read that a parable tests the "spiritual receptiveness" of the hearer. (I intend no offence to anyone.) As of this morning when I last checked, EdB has been the only receptive responder to this thread. George |

24 | Putting 2 and 2 together | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89411 | ||
It's almost funny. My carnal desire is to say "yea, I know that." But the truth of the matter is that I didn't. Even though I did have all the facts. I simply hadn't put them together as you did. Thank you my friend. George |

25 | Judgement or Discernment? | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89304 | ||
I thought this was a serious question and answer forum. My appologies. Instead of the word you, I meant to use "we." I simply asked a question that was designed to make people think about where they should go to get answers to questions concerning (their) eternal soul. Where I hope those who post answers herein go or have gone before. If asking a question designed to get people into the word of God is "Judgement," I am guilty and make no defence. This is a question I wish someone would have asked me long ago, for if I had only known then of all the False Prophets in "brothers, sisters and preachers clothing.... " What percentage of todays Evangelists, TV and Radio preachers AND churches invite or challenge the congrigation to study the word for themselves? Thank God, There are many. However, anyone who does not live in a dream world would surely agree that there are more that do not than do. A person has to have a discerning spirit to tell them apart. Discernment. Judgement. Look them up. There is a fine line between these two words, but there is a difference. If truth is a stumbling block, I make no appologies. If bluntness is a stumbling block, I have only spoken the truth. If, and only IF I am wrong, I appologize. May the Lord and whoever I have caused to stumble forgive me. HERE IS THE ANSWER TO MY QUESTION. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. KJV 1Co 2:14 Here is what I was trying say to the carnally minded: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. KJV 2Ti 2:15 George |

26 | Are we Stupid or Lazy? Our Soul at stak | Rom 14:12 | GeorJoy | 89280 | ||
I see so many questions here. I am gratefull for them for they make me think and research. What I simply don't understand is WHY there are so many LAZY people where the WORD of God is concerned. It is ones MORTAL SOUL at Stake. Why do people ALWAYS turn to people for the interpritation of Gods word? Surely in this country today, bibles are readily available to everyone who has a desire to have one. Oh, but I don't understand what I read? Are you Stupid? 1 a : slow of mind : OBTUSE b : given to unintelligent decisions or acts : acting in an unintelligent or careless manner c : lacking intelligence or reason : Or are you simply Lazy? not easily aroused to activity. LAZY suggests a disinclination to work or to take trouble *convenience foods for lazy cooks*. INDOLENT suggests a love of ease and a settled dislike of movement or activity *the heat made us all indolent*. SLOTHFUL implies a temperamental inability to act promptly or speedily when action or speed is called for *fired for being slothful about filling orders*. If one reads the word they will learn that they will eventually learn it. So why can we not learn from the experiances of others? Just wondering... George |

27 | To be led by the Spirit, or castrated? | Matt 5:22 | GeorJoy | 89274 | ||
Searcher In your response to "What is "Moral Law?", you stated, "I also think following the "law of Christ" is tougher." My question is "why." Didn't Jesus simply command us to " Love your neighbor as yourself." Isn't this the command that replaced the ten commandments? I would say that having the laws written on ones heart in the first place, if a person follows Jesus' command to Love your neighbor as yourself; learning to listen to, and therefor to be led by the spirit, would be the most dificult thing for those who have not truly received the spirit. If one follows this command, will they not follow the 10 commandments? by doing so. Didn't Paul say to the Galatians concerning the those who were advocating the law and insisting on the circumcision of the beleivers, "As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate (CASTRATE) themselves"? NIV Gal 5:12 Your response noted suggests to me that you think it is easier to follow the law than to Live by the Spirit. Just curious. |

28 | Why does NIV OMIT verses in KJV? | Bible general Archive 1 | GeorJoy | 86402 | ||
I love my NIV. I also feel that it is a truly inspired revision of the word and that the Lord led me to it. However, my faith in this particular version was just jolted when I was reading the book of Acts and discovered with the help of my "Henry Comentary" that it OMITS verses that are in the KJV. Specifically Acts 8:37. If as I have determined from my research, this is due to the dateline of the manuscripts, why is the OMITTED verse number simply skiped over, ie 35 36 38 rather than continued in numerical sequence? |
