Subject: Are you quite sure about that? |
Bible Note: I believe you both need to have a deeper understanding of what Paul was speaking of when using the word "edify". Here are some verses to ponder: Romans 14:19 (NASB-U) So then we pursue the things which make for peace and the building up of one another. 1 Cor. 10:23 (NASB-U) All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. 1 Cor. 14:4 (NASB-U) One who speaks in a tongue edifies himself; but one who prophesies edifies the church. 1 Thes. 5:11 (NASB-U) Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. 1 Corth 14 is indespensable in the matter of edifying because there is where the mind of the Lord is generated within us. So when we read the scriptures it's like making deposits to our spiritual bank account which He draws upon at the appointed times in our lives. How's that except we have His mind and His word built up in us. It is not our mind and His word because the letter of the word 'can' kill but the Spirit of God brings life when the word is spoken from Him and it will be the word He desires you to speak because you have His Mind.
