Bible Note: It seems to me that confirming the truth requires both the written Word and the witness of the Spirit. Understanding itself only apprehends; it does not confirm that what has been apprehended is in fact truth. In other words, one may come to some understanding of something but that does not necessarily mean what he understands is truth. I somewhat enjoy the forum. My only qualm is that answers do not seem to be straightforward and attempts are made at analyzing the psyche (and judge the motives) rather than answer the question...at least, that is how my questions have been answered. Also, as I read some postings, there seems to be a stiffness as to doctrinal preferences. But, of course, on the internet you can't see a person's face or hear the tone of the voice, so my perceptions may be totally off...like I saw in an old newspaper cartoon, "Harry didn't know that he was chatting with a dog on the other end." |
