Bible Note: John John good answer but one that did not address any of God’s objections. God said we should not argue over the meaning of words, surely you see that most of the discussion has been on the meaning of words, “all” doesn’t mean all it means… God says don’t cause strife yet many have gotten so angry they have left the forum completely. God says don’t argue on meaningless things yet if everyone would be perfectly honest we could all agree we do not completely understand God since God has not revealed everything to us. Therefore continued discussion of it is meaningless until God reveals it all. John can you explain how repeating the same thing over and over helps you understand your natural lack of holiness and therefore clarifies your understanding of grace? Informative? Exciting? John don’t you mean the challenge to ‘one up’ another is exciting and learning how to do it is informative. Then the questions is what are you feeding, your flesh or your spirit? What benefit has your spirit received from all of this? How does all of this fit into Jesus’ commission to go make disciples? To the new Christian or the unsaved most of this is meaningless and results in confusion and shows a nature of bickering and indecision within Christianity. It appears to be argument for arguments sake, with no conclusions being drawn, no decisions be made, no winner no loser just endless debate. EdB |
