Subject: I NEED A TRUE FRIEND THAT IS A CHRISTIAN |
Bible Note: You write: "If you have ever listened to a Sermon that caused the hairs on the back of your neck to raise then it is an indication that the Holy Spirit is bearing witness with your consience that the words you are hearing are true. Right now, read this and feel the hair on your neck raise..." The Word of God needs no hairs on the back of your neck to rise to confirm the truth of the Scriptures. The rising of the hairs on the back of one's neck is neither proof nor evidence of anything. The Word of God stands whether neck hairs do or not. We do not prove the Word of God by emotional experiences. Rather we prove (test) our experiences by the Word of God. By the way, the Bible nowhere says that the Holy Spirit bears witness with our conscience. What it says is: "The Spirit Himself bears witness WITH OUR SPIRIT that we are children of God," Romans 8:16 NKJV (Emphasis added.) If anyone is looking for a touchy feely cuddly forum, this one isn't it. |
