Bible Note: Casey, There is no attempt to turn this into an argument, my brother:-) I was merely trying to illustrate a point. A point you yourself, allude to in your own user profile, yet appear to ignore! "I don't claim to be a scholar I know I don't know everything and my knowledge is limited. I am not bound by my personal beliefs. I believe the sole authority in Truth is the bible. I know because I have believed something doesn't mean it is truth. We have to study the bible honestly with an open heart. My opinion is often we look through biast eyes without even realizing it. The majority of people would think they are open but if you ask God in prayer and listen to the spirit which (Jn16:13) will lead us in to all truth we may hear different. We are often to so busy trying to prove what we believe we stop listening what he wants us to see." Brother, according to what YOU state, I would anticipate that you'd be open to "study the bible honestly with an open heart." Or were these just words? See, I would expect someone who writes something of this nature, assuming it really comes from the heart, to practice what they say they truly believe. You obviously have come to the Forum with "biased eyes without even realizing it". That's ok, but the door swings both ways:-) As far as your claim "to not know everything",that's ok too.This Forum is an excellent source to learn and seek wisdom. But why do you then presume to have such a narrow and dogmatic stance with regard to tongues? Brother, I might add, that while we all have our "biases", to bring forth such a controversial topic and not expect opposition is foolish. I don't say these things to be harsh, but rather to encourage you to grow and seek wisdom (Prov. 18:15). You see my friend, "Iron sharpens Iron". Lastly, as our brother Joe has stated before, welcome to public discourse on the Forum. Speaking The Truth In Love, BradK |
