Bible Question:
CDBJ I do apologise if to you my questions seem naive, you obiviously have alot more knowledge about the Bible and life than I do. I've really only just beginning to take the bible seriously and to try to get the the heart of what it actually means, and how I am to apply it every day. I don't have more mature christians who I can ask my dumb questions to, and so I really appreciate having this forum. Thank for your answer.I do agree with you, I was just asking the question so that I could be sure for myself of the verses meaning. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Dear Diomede: It's not "dumb questions" that bother me nearly so much as my fear of giving dumb answers! And I'll bet I've given more dumb answers on this Forum than anyone else. Dear heart, it is indeed delightful to learn that you are taking God's word seriously. That's wisdom! And that you are earnestly seeking to learn what it means and to apply God's truth to your life. That's also wisdom. ...... There are quite a few responsible, mature, God-fearing, born-again and knowledgeable users on this Forum. This includes CDBJ, with whom you've exchanged notes, who, if he reads this, will turn beet red at the very thought of being considered as the possessor of all those good qualities I've mentioned. :-). So he, I, and a host of other users stand at your beck and call to help you in any way we can to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings to you. --Hank |
