Subject: Is not God inside of each of us? |
Bible Note: Hi LGC, I copied the following from one of your other post because it seems to clarify your position.... "Like I said, there just seemed to be an imbalance towards interpreting the scripture zealously (what does this one verse mean, what does this one word mean) without any reliance on the Spirit or its revelations." Why have you come to this conclusion? What has prompted you to believe the post, or at least some of them are not direct interpretations from revelation from the Holy Spirit? Is it because we do not preface our posts with the statement, "God told me", or that "The Holy Spirit revealed to me that this verse means...?" Or are you looking asking why we are not posting our personal revelations such as.."The Holy Spirit spoke to my heart when I was reading these verses and told me to do thus and such or go to such and such place..."? If that is the question, probably because it is personal directions and for me to share those with you will not give you the same revelation. If I am understanding you correctly, the Holy Spirit speaks to each of us in accordance with our own walk and calling. He is not going to confirm to you to go the Africa from a verse just because He confirmed it to me. He may not be sending you to Africa...Am I understanding your question? Based on the example...The Holy Spirit telling me to go to Africa would be scripturally sound."Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel." Now in light of this example..how would this in any way add to a study of the scripture to "GO.."? How could my personal call to go to Africa communicate any more depth to this verse? However if I said the Holy Spirit was telling me to divorce my husband for another man...That is unscriptural and I would therefore know this is not the voice of the Holy Spirit...that was my point when I said personal experiences are unreliable without the Word. I hope we are communicating better now..I am certainly not being controversial, but rather just trying to get on the same page with you. God bless PS- I don't agree with your interpretation of Romans 2. Paul is saying the Jews who have the law will be judged the same as the gentiles who do no have the law but do have their conscience to confimr or convict. Paul is not speaking of gentiles who are Spirit filled. He says the gentiles will give an account based on their conscience(their law) and the Jews will give an account for their deeds based on their (LAW). With God there is neither Jew nor Greek, male nor female...everyone is on the same plain for the judgement. God bless....again Maybe we can discuss it in detail later. |
