Bible Note: Dear Bill, Joe, and Forum, Sorry to be a 'buttinsky,' but... I agree with Joe that we are exhorted to 'work out our salvation in fear and trembling.' But this cannot be accomplished by mere human study and (attempted) application. I also see Bill's point about 'allowing' the Holy Spirit to have His way in our lives. The danger there is to also 'allow' our emotions to masquerade as the Holy Spirit, which is all too common. (Frankly, I, too, have seen the abuse of 'letting' God have His way!) Friends, I am not trying to 'referee' your thread, but simply saying that both of you seem to be on a Biblical track, as long as the letter AND intent of the Word, coupled with prudence and common sense, reign over your belief. Maybe (just maybe) this is the last word. :-) In Christ Jesus, charis |
