Bible Note: justme, I can finish and understand a novel in about 3 hours average. I have a 3.8GPA in my college classes. I spend about 5 hours a day (not constant admittedly) in prayer. I spend at least that much in Bible study on any given day. I am fortunate to be a horse trainer so much of my time is spent outdoors in mundane activities where prayer and contemplation of what I have read in the Bible is, not easy but certainly easier than if I were working in an office instead of riding or gardening. And on this forum I haven't seemed to need to draw on much except Scriptures of forgiveness, mercy and love which I know inside out. So it is not difficult at all for me to defend them, which seems to be what most of my time on this forum is spent doing. And actually, I have already gotten several gems of wisdom from you that I have added to my study books for contemplation. Part of my time today was spent reading all of your posts from your profile. So I hope your knee is healing well and I have added you and your wife to my prayer list. Where incidentally, Kalos is also listed and has been prayed for since our first interaction. And no, I'm not praying for him as someone who needs help, but as someone that I am lifting up to the Lord and as someone I hope the Lord will help me to reach Christian fellowship with or at the least learn to ignore when his posts pain me. He does not make me defensive, but I certainly seem to make him extremely offensive. I truly do regret that because I've read most of his posts by now too and there are places where his insights are fascinating, and I have admitted all along that I find his knowledge very impressive, but I see no way but prayer to change how he reacts to me. I cannot interact with someone who everytime I question or disagree with him I am suddenly anti-God or anti-Paul or anti-Bible or even anti-real Christian. But as I said, I do pray on it constantly. I do recognize that my discord with him is not in agreement with the kind of Christian attitude I try to practice, and it is vexing to my spirit. Your assumption is wrong that I am impulsive. I am anything but impulsive. I came to this forum to learn the Bible, which I always approach with humility and deep desire, and perhaps as time goes on I will find threads where free will, and the elect, and Calvinism vs Arminianism (am I spelling that right?), and Faith in Word vs CRI, aren't debated like bloody wars. I have asked most of the many questions you find so troubling on each of these trying to understand the parameters of the differences, but I am still thoroughly confused as I seem to find more similiarities on each side than any of the participants care to admit. But perhaps you are correct and I have spent too much time and too many posts trying to figure out things like free will or not, Calvinism or not, toss the fallen minister or forgive him, and should women be allowed to speak in church, though that last one I can't regret. Between Tim Moran and EdB, in the last few days, I have been finally able to put away the last of my reservations about the Apostle Paul. Which truly troubled my spirit. And with that resolved I have begun what I hope will continue to be an enlightening correspondance with Emmaus on the book of Micah. Which is what I have been studying today. I would have enjoyed learning the short but very interesting book of the Bible with you, too, but as your "there is nothing further for either of us to say", pretty much puts paid to that, I will not trouble you. Ah well, I did enjoy reading your previous posts and I am sure I will enjoy reading your future ones as well. But I promise not to bother you with my questions or comments. May God bless you, too, Melanie |
