Subject: What about so-called revelation knowledg |
Bible Note: Hello winstonchurchill... I know it was lengthy but when exerps are extracted and commented on in such a way, it takes time and space to counter properly. The post is not really for our Calvinist brothers. Without the Holy Spirit revealing truth to our spirit, we will not hear. The post is for seekers of the truth who may be indimidated into being fearul of teaching that conflicts with 'orthodox theology'. It is for passers by to hear both sides, compare scripture and pray for revelation from the Holy Spirit. If we only hear one side, we believe that is the only side. Somewhere in Proverbs Solomon says that one side seems right until you hear the other side... And as the old saying goes, the truth is somewhere in the middle. On prosperity, I see God's provision for furthurance of the gospel, feeding the homeless and hungry. If God wants to give someone a jet to fly to Africa and preach...so be it...Why should that bother me? I should be GLAD! But if my call is to feed the homeless downtown, I need money and a way to get there and the liberty to do so. Debt and poverty are bondage. It is a matter of the call and the need, mine and theirs. Mine is met as I am obedient to theirs. Healing is a different matter. While sickness and poverty can be seen as part of the curse, Jesus addressed sickness much more than poverty. Isaiah 53...healing is stated along with salvation and healing here means to be made whole..spirit, soul, body. Purhaps we can talk at a later time on this. It would be nice to converse with someone who is not so..shall we say... negative. I will finish the post on the Authority of the Believer tomorrow. God bless. |
