Bible Note: Dear Noble, You wrote "it is good too see this admission that we have so much to learn. But we should not minimize our ability to learn, or the opportunities we have to learn, or the fact that, the Holy Spirit teaching us, we are learning." It seems as if you are modifiying your previous statement "God is giving us his truth, and we need not remain in the land of ever learning." If I have mis-understood, and you still hold to your previous claim, please tell me: At what point will we know everything about God that there is to know? 1 Pet 1:12 It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven--things into which angels long to look. It appears as if even the angels are still learning. Time to go to work. I look forward to your reply. God Bless, John |
