Bible Note: Thank you very much for your insight and answers that I have been searching for. I value every word that you have written. I have for years believed in God. But did not take it to the level of studing the bible. Now, that I have hit 37 and had some rough roads in my life. I find that the reason for it. Was not having total trust in the lord. Being rebaptized and all. I want to walk as cleanly as us on earth can. We will always have that sin. But we can think things out more clearly with God's help. Things are not easy being married. It takes so much to make things work in this day and age. When I started reading the old testament. And then now the new. I see that we have it so much easier than before christ. But we still have the evils of the world to over come. The devil has put so much more temptation in our way. Trying to win the battle. But he won't win over god and the good that is in loving and believing he is the only savior. That only through him and his sacrifice for us on the cross. Can we strive to do the right thing. I am finding in my new searches that one says that the bible is black and white. And can only percieved as it is written. But I feel that is not the case. As no one reads and understand the same thing. Example. 10 people will read a verse and 10 different meaning they will get. When my dear friend and pasture. Told me of this web site. I logged right on. As it is nice to be able to get others views. And so far yours are exactly to how I believe. I can not thank you enough again. And god bless. I am sure that I will post other questions. There is so much that I want to learn and so much that I am confused on the passages. Hope that you will be the one to answer the next questions that I post when I need some help. Take care and god bless you. |
