Subject: Can Satin read our minds?Chaser. |
Bible Note: Hi Janae, I would really encourage you to think about brother Tims' response to you because he's on solid ground! You're saying things that scripture doesn't say. Matt. 16:19 doesn't say anything SPECIFICALLY about "praying for the mind of Christ". Though there is nothing wrong with seeking that, the verse you quote doesn't implore or even imply that. Again, let's look at 1 Cor. 2:16: "For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ." It's in the present tense- so its' something we have-to those who are spiritual (vs. 15). We have received the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God (vs.12). Consider Paul's admonition in 1 Cor. 4:6,"...so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written..." God's Word must be the final authority for determining the validity (truth) of spiritual matters because it IS TRUTH (John. 17:17). Experience is a poor substitute. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
