Bible Note: Indeed you *are* an ANGEL! I've looked up these passages and found such joy in them; particularly John 16:20-30!! I've read the gospels through many times, but it's amazing how a certain passage can spring to life in meaning at times when we are seeking (and I thank YOU for your part in it) :-) I know there are some things not to be understood, but I (blind faith?) believe that God would NOT have written down the WORD if we weren't to understand it with our human minds and hearts. (at least on some level...there's that word again, Tim!) I'm sure there is even MORE depth to it than we can comprehend until that glorious day when all truth will be revealed :-) You make an excellent point in that Jesus did not come to explain it to us, but to save us. The Holy Spirit is the one guiding us in our understanding and I now see that there is no shame or defeat or disappointing God (beause I can't understand it without help)in asking other well learned and well loved believers in the Word for their assistance. Terrib has shown me how the Holy Spirit IS teaching me...through whatever means I seek. As John Hagee says and I love so much, "HALLELUIA to the LAMB of GOD!! |
