Bible Note: Hello Brad, Thanks for that. I will seek the Lord for the truth of what you say and will bring to your thinking some of what the Spirit of Truth brings. I look forward to hearing your response to my response when I give it. I will of course say just one thing and that is that you were right to point out that love is the greatest of all these, however I assumed that because love is fundamental to christian living and needs to be applied to all scripture then you would automatically assume that. There is a far deeper revelation of the Lord that we can receive from scripture and I can understand where you are coming from. I was remiss in not clearly quoting in great detail everything that I tried to explain. We need to judge all of what we say by scripture but we also should not box the Lord in on how He may speak to us. I will forward you my thoughts and revelation of the book of revelation and the scriptures you have quoted. This is not to deceive or to hinder but to allow the soul to prosper in the Lord. God is Spirit and being a christian is purely supernatural (which we must bring and proclaim into the natural realm), we receive things from the supernatural realm, the Word of God cannot be truly understood without the counsul of the Holy Spirit, who of course is Spirit. If we want to encounter God on a whole new level then we must be prepared for things to seem a little bit out of the ordinairy. As I have said, my friend, I shall go through your answer prayerfully and see what I get. If I am wrong you will be the second to get an apology (the Lord will be the first). May you have a blessed bank holiday. Love in Christ Gary139. |
