Bible Question:
Hi everyone This is my second post to this forum and it my be my last. Like most new Christians, I have a ton of questions, like; can God restore my marriage, healing, how to forgive others, etc. But I have read some of the other threads on this forum and I'm afraid of getting conflicting answers! One believes one way and one the other way. Are you folks for real? There is only one God! Doesn't anyone believe He can give an right answer? |
Bible Answer: Inmyheart, Of course our Lord can and will give a right answer. Trust Him to do so as you seek the answers. The Holy Spirit promises to lead you into all truth and your quest will ultimately lead to Christ, for He is God's answer for our every question. 2 Peter 1:3 says that God's divine power has given us EVERYTHING we need for life and godliness through truly knowing Jesus Christ. Romans 8:32 says that God freely gives us ALL THINGS in Christ Jesus. Christianity is a person, Jesus Christ, and God will be faithful to finish what He has begun in you. Trust in that relationship. Your Lord did not leave you alone. He is in you and will lead you. Unfortunately, here at this forum you will, much of the time, get conflicting answers. If you ask a question like, "Are Christians under the Mosaic Law?" you will get 3 different answers: 1) Yes 2) No 3) Some parts of it. This is because everyone views scripture through a particular "lense." There is nothing wrong with this lense as long as it does not take the place of scripture. In the end, you must be a Berean, my friend, and study the scriptures for yourself. We seldom argue about what God says but we'll debate until the cows come home concerning what He means. Christian's are all members of Christ's body, the church. There is unity in Him but it is not always prevalent. This doesn't mean that we will always see things the same way. When we don't, the best we can do it to state what we believe God is saying and let the Holy Spirit do what He does so well. Paul did the same thing on Mars Hill. Some sneered at what he had to say, some said that they wanted to hear more, but some accepted what He said about God and joined Him. May you find the answers in Christ, my friend. ChristLifer2001 |
