Bible Note: Hi again, There are definitely places in scripture that are left "iffy" for us, but there are also many teachings that land right on the dime. And when they do, we have to stand fast on each of those issues. Pride in our own opinion is definitely wrong, but standing on God's word is not pride. It's necessary. He is the only Person that does not lie. An example of what I mean... I was in a discussion today with someone who thinks homosexuality is not sin because he believes it is an innate trait in some people. My response was pretty simple. God says homosexuality is an abomination [sin] (Lev. 18:22), and that we can choose to sin or not to sin (Gen. 4:7)... so therefore homosexuality is a choice. I suggested he simply believe God's word instead of taking the word of any man about it. There are many other issues like that too... where God's word is clear. And praise God, any and all sins can be forgiven us if we repent... (all but blasphemy of God's Spirit that is). God bless you, LisaMarie. |
