Bible Note: Yes Hank I agree with what you are saying , but as of now I have little trust in any mans wisdom including my own for it belongs to this world , unless we can show that it is of Scripture ( TRUTH ) that is being put across . I will give you an example . Many years I wondered why Noah cursed Cannan , and could not get any answers . I questioned many and none new the reason , or made up something to go along with what I had asked . Not so much purposely yet believing in what they offered was truth . Any way around that same time in my life I decided the heck with preachers and world teaching and sank all my spare time into reading the Scripture for myself , not being swayed by man or his teachings . The first 3 or 4 times I read through the Bible I got quite frustrated and let off some steam , then it came to me that we were to love the FATHER with all our heart mind and soul and seek all things . then prayer came into my life more and more , then answers started coming slowly , but they started coming and have not stopped . I read in Isaiah 28:9-14 who one could recieve wisdom ( line upon line , precept upon precept ) and who would recieve wisdom and why most would not . Then in Matthew 13:10-15 , parables are explained as well as who would understand and who would not understand , even though they have been told . Then in Colossians 2 I learned that all treasures were in the Messiah . Well any way , after many close answers to my Noah's question , it was answered as plain as day after reading line after line and being so close that finaly the answer appeared Leviticus 20:11 . Since then every answer has been just as clear , even though I had read it so many times prior , it did not stick out as it did when the ALMIGHTY answered . May be you already knew the answer to the question I was refering to , if so then you know where I'm coming from . I have many questions that Scripture has answered the same way , most will not like the answers because it will not tickle there ears . Sorry for rambling , and thank you for listening .
