21 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143926 | ||
Doc, I understand what you are saying and I see your viewpoint, but to attempt to teach or lead in the Word apart from the Love of God, simply is unbiblical and is not an excuse to teach or lead without the foundation of love. |

22 | Jesus not Legalism!! | 1 Cor 7:15 | Lissamz | 143928 | ||
BradK, I responded to Doc, on my issue. Teaching or leading in the Word, cannot be done biblically apart from the love of God. We cannot remove God's Love from Truth, nor can we remove God's Truth from His Love. It is even hard for me to do this! I cry out to Him for help in this area, but I do know one thing- Eph. 4:15 "Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ." (NIV) "Rather, let our lives lovingly [a]express truth [in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly]. Enfolded in love, let us grow up in every way and in all things into Him Who is the Head, [even] Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One)." (AMP) Love for God first through Jesus, His Son and the indwelling Holy Spirit, and next for our fellow man is our foundation, and this is totally biblical and found all throughout the Word. |

Additional note: Biblical love has nothing to do with my "feelings' or anyone elses, it is a choice of freewill. I walk by faith, not sight (or feelings for that matter.) Because my feelings aren't true, God is True. |

25 | some people say you must speak in tongue | 1 Cor 12:4 | Lissamz | 143934 | ||
Hank, Good evening brother, I wanted to personally commend you on your stance of "the ones I simply don't understand." I've heard Beth Moore state, "When you see something or hear something that is not neccessarily laid out in the Word or you don't understand it, know enough about God, that you trust His heart to perfectly know what is His perfect knowledge in the matter." (paraphased) I find this little tidbit, can easily stop the arguing and fussing! Blessings to you from the Father. |

26 | Study Bible | 2 Tim 2:15 | Lissamz | 137382 | ||
Jayram, Thanks for answering I looked this Bible up online to price it and I found some weird "stuff" about it. Here's the article, http://www.ovrlnd.com/FalseDoctrine/drakesbible.html Can you look this up in your Dake Bible and tell me if this is true or not?? I don't believe everything I see on the internet and since you have one would like to know if it is actually in there. hidden in Christ, Lissa |

27 | Discerning Christians? | Heb 5:14 | Lissamz | 146884 | ||
Thanks for your 3 cents (see more than 2!!). I think you are right to say that seeking the Lord is the first and foremost need, before judging what is not plain and blatantly in front of our faces. I just think that humans many times judge based on experience and personal motives, rather than in the context of godly understanding, then wisdom. So, again, you are right, seeking His face and applying His will to our lives is always the perfect way to approach the situation. hidden in Christ, Lissa |

28 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213317 | ||
Thank You so much. I do need to look up, because I am well aware of my inadequacies. And I will begin to pray for the Lord to increase my faith. I just wanted to know if I was having a spiritual problem, because of others around me. I know the answer lies within Christ and the Word, and the Holy Spirit at work within me. I will continue to "press in" because I truly love the Lord. Blessing and peace be multiplied towards you, DocTrinsograce |

29 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213319 | ||
Thank You for answering. But I'm wondering...Does this mean that the ones that have talked about this around me have been "over exaggerating" or "over-stating" the truth? I mean they come off so "spiritual" and I seem so "simple." I don't understand it, but the Scripture you quoted does shine the "light" on the situation. I don't have to feel bad anymore because I feel like a "lower-class" Christian, because I don't have to "tak[e] his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen" as something lacking in my life. God bless and shine His countenance upon you, MJH |

30 | The little words | James 3:9 | Lissamz | 136710 | ||
Angel, Thanks for your comment, but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I really wanted to know from Matt 12:34, could we conclude that even phrases, such as, "whatever" be taken as coming from the heart?? In our culture, "whatever" holds the connotation of not caring, being unconcerned, or a nonchalant attitude. Plus, as I say attitude, "whatever" is not usually identified with a good attitude. I've asked him why he uses "whatever" and he says that he just says it, as a figure of speech. Basically, my question is- Is he being truthful when he says that he's just saying it or because of Matt 12:34 should I infer that he is using this word and type of speech in other manners, because it is truly what he feels in his heart?? Does Matt 12:34 refer to just the serious matters that we speak of, as coming from the heart?? Or is Jesus speaking of ALL things that come out of our mouths as being from the heart?? Basically, I don't want to go to him and condemn him, if it is only that I am being irritated through his language manners by the adversary, but if not and what he is speaking is truly from his heart, then we need to speak about it. I just want to be sure and know. (of, course I am praying about it and asking the Lord for wisdom (Jam 1:5) and discernment.) Thanks, Lissa |

Hello cast net, I know your concerns, I've had them before too with the board, but I made a conscience choice to obey Jesus. He told us to "love one another" (John 13:34; 15:17; 1 John 3:23; 2 John 5) and what the Lord Jesus Christ said He meant. So, I love my brothers and sisters in Christ and there are a lot of people on this site that truly, honestly follow that command, including BradK, who answered my question on this topic. Praise the Lord that His people are able to believe and apply by faith "O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them." (John 17:25-26) May we all be filled to overflowing with His great love. hidden in Christ, Lissa |
