Bible Note: Hello calmrage! You have made some interesting comments regarding lionheart's post in which he was trying to help you. You said " I hope you understand.. I know you were trying to make a point. However, I think it may only make people hard to understand what you are trying to say even though you use a lot of verses as reference. However, they are not what people want to know. " " You remind me of some pastors. In order to show how well they know about the Bible. Regardless of what the questions, they will make a big circle of long statements and at the end I was thinking.. For that question, it coule be answer in 1 minute which they can spend 15 minutes trying to make a point. Was that my question??? Or was I not directly enough??? " Be glad brother lionheart and the pastors you speak of do not give you a simple answer from a man's point of view. They know the importance and value of God's word and that this is where the truth comes from. And you are right, many times this is not "what people want to know". But this is a sign of a mature Christian not a show off. A mature Christian will point you to the scriptures so that the word of God is your guide and not their opinion. Think about that! Would you be more comfortable with lionhearts answer if he would have simply given his opinion and said yes or no to your question or the fact he guides you to scripture so you can see for yourself what the word of God has to say? You said "A Christian look alike (Mormon or Johovah witness) knocked on the door and say "Knock and ye should find "and spread the so called gospel, we believe? They say thngs so close to the truth... we believe??? " Read Galatians 1:6-10 and then read lionhearts post again. Notice his maturity in Christ as he points you to the word of God so that you may know the truth taught to you by God and not by man. You said "Again, simple question needs simple answer...." No. All questions should be seeking the truth regardless if the answer is simple or not. Your Brother in Christ, Steve |
