Subject: How do we understand these words? |
Bible Note: Hi, Aixen7z4, what Angel has said I also agree with completely. You pose some very good points in your posts. One is the Bible translation. I want to encourage you to use whatever translation the Holy Ghost leads you to use (He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him). I agree with you totally: we must wait on Him! You also asked, "What happens when we do not wait for understanding, but turn away instead?" Paul was inspired to write in 2 Timothy 4:3-4, "For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables." The enemy of our souls is not concerned with which way we turn, as long as it is away from the truth. Patience is so important to our spiritual walk with God. Hebrews 10:36 says, "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise." Because of the lack of patience (and a lot of pride), souls are being deceived. Thanks for giving us something important to think about. . . WalkingTalkingBible |
