Bible Question (short): OCuld not get to post as a note, help |
Question (full): CDBJ, I know this is another simple and child like response, but I have only been a part of the forum for a few days; I got off on the wrong foot, and I am trying really hard to observe from the side lines to learn "how deep" I can go in answering questions, how much of my "opinion" I can include in my answers, and so forth, without being offensive to others in the forum or being offended myself to a response I may get from a post. I am not a "scholar" (though I am working on it) so until I am more comfortable with what is expected in this forum, my answers may not be what you would like as far as depth. I like being asked and asking, but again, I am still getting a feel for things. With all of that said,...John 3:16, and if you have a concordance or Greek to English dictionary, or some tool such as this(assuming you are not fluent in Greek), do a word study of the word BELIEVE. This I feel is a beginning at least, to answering your question. Please keep them coming. This way I get to participate in the forum and "get my feet wet" I will say It is strictly opinion, that we each experience a comfort and confidence in our relation with the Lord during different seasons of our life. Our experiences are what usually shape that comfort and assurance in our relationship with God. When we study His Word we gain a higher comfort level and dependance on His promises to those who BELIEVE. If you choose to take my advice and do a word study, please remember to check the tense of the word BELIEVE. I know it is sometimes time consuming to reflect on grammer as far noun, verb, adverb, etc., but it is worth it when we realize how much more we understand of this grand love letter of spoken communication to each of us from our Heavenly Father.
