Bible Note: Srchng, Your not a fool. You are like us all. Seeking for wisdom. I apologise if I said something that made you feel like a fool or inferior. Clearly, what you have wrote here is a humbleness of heart which is more wisdom than I have seen from any other person who has posted on this site. We have a lot of different types here. We have the real scholar's, we have the want to be scholar's, we have the opinionated, we have the self appointed, and we have the true seekers and true laborer. All of this makes discernment very difficult. Know this, however. Your entire Christian walk will be full of those who will offer to teach you. Some of those will be wolves in sheeps clothing. Others may seem harsh and critical. But test every instruction you are ever given with the Word of God. Read the Bible for yourself. Read it each day. Read from Genesis to Revelation every year. Spend your whole life doing it. It is your only safety in a world such as this. It is hard to do ... for the Bible condemns us as the sinners we are. The Bible shows us how we always fall short. But it also shows us God's love and acceptance. Learn Old and New Testament. They go together. They compliment each other. The New is the fulfillment of the Old. It is the same God. He has not changed. Every question you will ever need to ask was answered by God in the Bible. Don't do like most Christian's today and be Bible illiterate. Accepting blindly doctrine taught from the pulpit. Believe me ... alot of doctrine from the pulpit today is false doctrine. And I have already seen people on this forum quote it as if it were in the Bible. You will be surprised once you read the Bible in its entirety how much false doctrine there is out there. But the good thing is, that the Word of God that does go forth, does not return empty and void. I also obey poorly sometimes. I am a fool. And neither am I a prophet. Nor were my parents. I too am searching for wisdom. I've just been doing it longer. Rabbi Mark |
