AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 3:1 Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters, for you know that we [who are teachers] will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly]. |

Bible Note: Dear Thomas8, You make an excellent point there Thomas8, freely ye have received, freely give... Yes I like that a lot, the word is absolutely free of charge Thomas, it is a gift from God to be handled with great care. It reminds me of II Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves. Paul was always seeking how he could humble himself for the sake of the gospel, he is our great example after Jesus of serving Christ without arrogance giving the gospel from pure motives without guile or thinking of self. I have greatly enjoyed studying with you Thomas8 you are a true student of the Bible who is interested in dividing the word of God because you love God. And you are interested in studying in here with others because you love the brethren and it shows in how you act towards others. It is not just the grace of your response, it is your intent in continuing to look at the texts from differing interpretations than your own and inviting others to look at your interpretation too. That is something to appreciate indeed... God's Day To You, Tamara |
