Subject: But What is it? |
Bible Note: I read corinthians and I also read Tim's point of view and I consulted with my pastor. The incident only happened once in the Bible, it is not anywhere else besides Corinthians. As far as we are concerned it happened once, and that's it. It no longer exists. If you can prove to me by reading the bible that this is an on-going mystery, then let me know. In the meanwhile, I listen to the leaders of the churches, Jesus Christ himself and the pastors. I do not discredit the word of God. I take it from the Bible. If it is not in the Bible, it does not exist. It was invented by men, and I will not follow men's teachings, unless He is a pastor of the church and he is following the Bible. I pick up the Bible and I read it, I am miles away. I cannot show you what I'm doing. We are limited by distance. I am in a position to state my very own personal opinion, and: God has given me a sound mind to discern good from evil. God has given me will power to say no when I very well please to say no. God has given me freedom to choose and to pursue whatsoever it is that I want. I choose to stay quiet on a subject, when I understand it completely or when I see I am about to stop edifying the glory of GOD. This is a personal message for you. Take it or leave it, but it is God's word. Many people in this forum have been hurt by your short, abrupt and unconsiderate responses. I cried last time I received your note and almost ran me away from here. Here's the word of God: "Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder whereever the inclination of the pilot desires. So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race. But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God; From the same mouth comes both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh. Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hipocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is rightousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. In Christ Jesus, my Lord and Saviour, my King, my God, my Father, my brother, my all in one, Lord of Lords, King of Kings. Martha, |
