Bible Question:
I'm with you CDBJ. I was too scared to asked the question - for appearing quite dumb.... KatieK |
Bible Answer: I have been a Christian since 1965 and I probably have a pretty fair knowledge of the Bible and that term, (TULIP), was new to me. I stick mainly to what the Bible teaches me and I don’t know much about religion and denominational stuff seeing that I was saved just by believing in Jesus from reading the Bible on my own with the Holy Spirit doing the teaching. Sometimes these little acronyms help us to remember doctrine but if they aren’t cast in stone, biblically, I let them go. Don’t ever be “too sacred” to ask a question, just remember the verse in Peter, this is partly how we grow. 1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. Consider all things and hold fast to that which is good; prove all things by comparing all the Scripture on that subject. If I might appear dumb in order to learn something so what, who am I trying to impress? The Lord already knows everything there is to know about me, He is the one we should be impressing! Matthew 10:16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
