Subject: Adultery always involves married woman? |
Bible Note: Prove that what I see is not the clearly given meaning, and what was clearly done by God's people, and God, and I will believe as you do. The question is, if the evidence is clearly lining up on the opposite side of the issue, would you be willing to alter your beliefs? What is sacred to you? Your beliefs “about” what God holds sacred, or what “God holds sacred”, i.e. the truth about what He has said and done. Jesus dealt with this a lot. There were religious leaders in his day that would rather die than believe that working on the Sabbath, i.e. healing someone on the Sabbath was indeed violating all that God held dear. Having beliefs that do not line up with the word of God is not a sin. Having beliefs that we refuse to subject to the fullness of the word of God, rightly divided, closing our eyes and ears to the truth, is sin. Do not think that I consider myself above this problem. I have often fought against what is clear from scriptures for months, and sometimes years. I understand internal battles, as well as the costs of altering my beliefs. I eagerly await the additional scriptural support that you have to present, and your reasons for why things are different than they seem. |
