Subject: Study the Word, Calvin, or Aminian??? |
Bible Note: Greetings Hank, Thank you for your insightful and poignant response. I believe this forum can be a very uplifting and educational meeting of Christians. I think it is the duty of Christians, if they hear or read something of what they cannot acquiesce in their mind, or their Spirit, to question it and give a ready scriptural response, but to also edify each other where appropriate. As an observation, Aaron would not have died and would made it to the Promised Land if he didn’t stand by and watch Moses strike the Rock (when he was supposed to just speak to the rock), but instead spoken up and let Moses know that was wrong but he didn’t, he just watched and suffered the consequences. Numbers 20. It does seem to me, from reading posts, that there are some very well educated, biblically knowledgable members of this forum in which I can learn from. At the very least, I'm constantly looking up the meaning of words.....lol You wrote: "I accept what precepts of each school as I see as being consistent with the word of God and reject others that do not seem to be. I see it as far more important to read and study the Scriptures humbly and prayerfully, asking for divine guidance of the Spirit as I do; to strive to grow and mature in my Christian walk as God helps me to do so; to set the best example that I can to be more like Jesus in my daily living, and by doing so to be an instrument to lead others to the Lord Jesus." I thoroughly agree with what you say here, especially the last part. Peace and Joy in Jesus bgg |
