Bible Note: Thank you. I don't think I've ever heard a more beautiful explaination. I hope many read this thread and come to the same understanding. Brother, I have stood on both sides of that fence, as sad as that is to admit, yet our Lord (in His perfect time) used my shortcomings in an adversed way to benifit my growth in Christ, my Savior. Trust and obey ... For there's no other way, Amen. this is only intended to be a praise note. However, I would like to ask you just one question, and if you feel you can help me better understand, then please reply when you have the time. ... You had mentioned that if God were talking to many individuals we would need those words in order to live by EVERY Word of God. Well, OK I understand your analogy, but do you believe that there are modern-day Prophets and Visionaries? Here is the reason I ask; God's Word tells us "in the last days...old men will dream dreams and see visions and your son's and daughters will give prophesy..." One other thing that's not easy to understand ... Saul, Isreal's 1st king had to go to Sammual to inquire of the will of God, why did he not have access to hear and understand God for himself? I believe God's ways are unchanging ... the same yesterday , today , and tomorrow. So wouldn't that also include the Prophets? thank you again, JKW |
