Subject: Who determines our destiny? |
Bible Note: Hank... Some simply live to debate. They do not seek after gaining truth, but in only in gaining in better ways to win their point of view. I came here with a hope that it was a place to exchange ideas, not debate. But, I am not surprised. I just needed to find out first. I had been debating for almost 8 years in Forums. I have grown through it, yet I have now outgrown the need to debate. What I was offering to share is not something I wish to debate. If others wanted to, it could be debated afterwards by others amongst themselves. For I have no desire to be debating others while presenting this particular teaching. It would be like someone debating with others if he truly loves his wife when he knows he is deeply in love with her. Yet, if others were driven to do so through disbelief, they would be free to debate it amongst themselves afterwards if that's what rings their bell. But he would have no desire for such debate. For he deeply loves his wife. That is how I feel about what I have been shown. Certain teachings are not to be debated (as they are being presented) but can be debated afterwards by those with a need to do so. I wanted to give something freely. Not to have a sword fight to make them stop fighting it. It is not that type of teaching. It is a teaching that only those fully controlled by grace would receive and in the right setting. I now see what this forum is for. Fine. Let the debates continue on. It can be healthy for those wanting to learn more about what they have come to believe. The others, they only want to argue and will never learn anything truthful. I repeat, some teachings should not be debated. They need to be presented. Then, let those who don't get it (and those who do) debate it amongst themselves. The one presenting it in this case only wants to open a door and explain what's on the other side... not try to force others through. " If any man have ears to hear, let him hear." Those who don't? What good would debating do? Grace and peace, Gene |
