Bible Note: Hi Nolan, I am thankful for the chances we have had to discuss the Scripture passages also. I have enjoyed all the discussions I have had with everyone here, and no one owes me an apology. I hope that I don't need to apologize to anyone or everyone here, for I've tried to **do my best. I was going to say that we all have to please God alone and I hope that you will not hold anything back if I get especially off base. But in finding the verse that I wanted to say that by (having only one Judge) I found that the surrounding verses speak to me as well. James 4:12, "There is only one *lawgiver and *judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor? Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow, we shall go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit." Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that." But as it is, you boast in your arrogance [pretensions]; all such boasting is evil. Therefore, to one who **knows the right thing to do, and does not do it, to him it is sin." I hope that you will add some thoughts to this thread about "spirit" words and we can get back to the task at hand. I love you, man.:) (Pass me a diet coke) Later, Ray (From the heart), if the Lord wills. |
