Subject: Steve, Christ bore sins in His body. |
Bible Note: Steve, I'm glad that you understand my side. However, I'm disappointed that you take the attitude of 'this has been debated by people with more study time than either of us. So let us leave it alone.' You're saying, 'My mind is made up, don't confuse me with scripture.' That is obviously your choice. Christianity has been debated for 2000 years and that is more time than either of us have. However, the Holy Spirit, through revelation of the scripture, is who enlightens us, not the amount of study time. You demonstrate much ignorance when your answer to a question is a flippant, 'Read your Bible.' The Pharisees knew their 'Bible' inside and out and Jesus called them sons of hell. Knowing scripture will not save you. Knowing the God of scripture does. The Holy Spirit ALONE knows the mind of God and He will reveal many things as we seek to understand the 'things that we are freely given in Christ.' I do respect your opinion and your right to have it. But your unwillingness to submit it to the truth of scripture demonstrates an unteachable spirit. I do not respect the answers that you have given me such as 'leave it alone, read your Bible, I'm done with you.' If that is your opinion, brother, then please follow your own statement and do not respond to my questions. I hold nothing against you but it is not edifying to anyone to give short, curt answers on this forum. Many people on this forum have challenged my beliefs and my understanding of scripture with a Christ-like attitude, in meekness and love. You would do well to learn from them. In Christ, Bill Mc |
