Subject: I just started reading the Bible and.... |
Bible Note: Hello BradK, It definitely is late for me and I think this will be my last post for the night. Thank you for your kind words. I haven't yet made it to Romans, just partially through Mark right now. With respect to being guilty before God, I choose to believe that I am born of Him. My pastor told me once awhile ago, as God spoke in 1 John 3:4-9, whoever is born of God cannot sin. Ever since I was a little boy I had a remarkable kindness towards others. I never bullied anyone and no one ever bullied me. I had and I still have a God-given respect for others. Red, yellow, black or white, everyone's the same in my sight. In my business career I am a straight shooter. I am honest, fair and generous both with my customers and employees. I have been very successful as my blessings have been abundant. I believe I am a sinner only to those who judge incorrectly. Through mine own eyes I see clearly. As 1 John 5:18 tells me, whoever is born of God cannot be touched by the wicked one. I regret that I have never attempted to read the bible completely until now. Although I am only a few books into the effort, I am surprised at what I have learned so far. I'm not sure if I'm stepping on any toes and if I have offended anyone, I am deeply sorry. I do not mean to insult or hurt anybody. If I am despised because I speak the truth as my eyes see it, then I ask for forgiveness. Thank you for your kind understanding. Pete |
