Subject: The meaning of the word Akador |
Bible Note: My dear Bows, Once again I will limit my response to yours:-) Once again, you have misunderstood what I said. What you said I "seemed to be saying" is not what I said. There is absolutley no need to go to "blasphemy" I can assure you. We simply cannot pull a dream out of thin air- hocus pocus- and say it is of God! It is mysticism to pull a scripture out of the Bible and try and explain someone's dream by it! You are allowing a SUBJECTIVE experience to be on par with the Word of God. How do we know that this person didn't eat a double-onion pizza with anchovies and that "caused his dream"??? I'm not trying to be fecicious my dear lady, but rather make a point. If I said I was praying last night, or reading the Bible, and I saw a vision of two red ruby slippers sticking out from underneath a house, what would you say? Was it a dream from God, or my remembrance of the Wizard of OZ? You tell me. We need to stop falling for and being led by nonsensical, unbiblical practices. Just because it's in scripture DOES NOT mean it's for all time. Judas hanged himself. Why don't we take that practice to heart? The bottom line is this: Can't God speak to us through His Word and His Word alone? (Heb. 1:1) Is His written Word not sufficient? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
