Subject: searching for the truth |
Bible Note: When the scripture is silent, but a decision must be made, the Holy Spirit makes the call. 1 John 2:27 But the anointing which you have received of him abides in you, and you need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in him. Remember that love is the point. If you're talking about a point of doctrine, if it's not written, it's not doctrine, it's opinion. If it's a matter of behavior, "love one another" is the key. I came to that conclusion in a single night. I had no scripture to support it, but went to a Bible study and argued church Elders into the ground because it was so solid it tore their doctrine to shreds. I discovered later that I had quoted as many as twenty scriptures in the New Testament that I had never read. The understanding is this: that love is the key. The New Testament can be understood by the doctrine of love. As for all the denominations, I think it's evil. Multiple denominations exist because of pride. Period. Two people had a discussion. One brought up a new and possibly valid point. The other disagreed. The one doing the disagreeing was in control, so the other left and made a new church denomination. Point of fact, the very first church split was over the dispute of the translation of a single word. How's THAT for pride?! Respector of persons ... What was David when God chose him? A shepherd, yes? Moses, the adopted son of Pharoah? John, Peter, and James ... fishermen? I hear what you're saying, but did God respect them over others, or were they simply the ones He chose? Once chosen, is it becoming of God to abandon His promises to them? SOMEone had to be chosen. David was chosen because he had a heart after God's own. Who knows about Moses, or Elijah, or Jeremiah, or Isaiah. Again, SOMEone had to be chosen. That makes them blessed in my opinion, not respected more than others. The variety went from shepherd to king. By the same qualifications he chose David as a child, so, too, could he choose a young, unlearned person. That's sort of the point. There is no respect of persons with God. He chooses whom He wills, regardless of their station or experience. With Esau ... remember that Esau traded his birthright for a "bowl of that red stuff there." Also, the word hate being used there, in both the Hebrew and the Greek, is a word that means something more akin to "loved less." And this, because he traded his birthright for a bowl of soup.
