Subject: SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH |
Bible Note: Dear Bows, I did speak the truth in love! I will have to disagree on this matter as I have serious issue with your contention that it is a Biblical practice. It may be a matter of definition whereby I might need to better understand where you're coming from. However, there is simply no term used in the Bible called "slain in the spirit". I most certainly do not see the claim of the verses you provided as giving a foundation to support your contention. It is a mighty big stretch. These verses do not provide a foundation for any such doctrine either. In 2 of the verses significant visions are detailed by both Daniel and John. I trust you're not claiming the same for us as believers? If so, what is your basis? With all due respect, in following your posts and reading your profile, our major source of difference is this: Yours is an experienced-based belief, mine is that of sola scriptura! I don't mean this offensively either, I'm just pointing out wherein the basis for our differences lie:-) Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
