Bible Question:
Please help me understand. This is not an attempt to counter doc's answer but a true desire to know the format here. I see this question to be one that can be biblically answered, Starting with Proverbs 3:5,6 With a Sincere desire to help others that struggle in different ways and beginning by pointing the focus on Jesus. I believe that handling this is within the TOU. The fact that the question appears not to be biblically motivated OK not under TOU, to me, doesn't discount that believers and non-believers struggle daily with how to conduct their actions. In this question one may see: pride, ego, fear and apprehension or, can be straight confusion on what God is doing in his life. How should we biblically approach questions like this within the TOU from those who, being sincere, would ask questions to better their walk with Jesus? I agree with doc that you should see a Godly man and find counsel from one who knows you best. However, I know men that search constantly to find one that they can trust. I also however think that if this is strictly an intellectual and theological forum, It is missing the point of the Gospel. Let me ask the question differently. "Were in the bible can I find how to make life changing decisions while keeping Christ first in my thoughts?" If the objectives of this forum are misunderstood by me, please give me guidance. . In Christ, Thank you |
Bible Answer: Pjmacaz Your are right Prob 3:5-6 is a good answer. But Doc's answer is correct. Many people come to this forum advice. Most of the time they are really looking for agreement to the conclusion they have already made and only supply enough info that we would tend to agree with the conclusion they have already reach. Also there is the issue of accountability. None of us are really accountable to this person. When people need advice they need to be talking to some one that is accountable to them for their answer. In most case it is their pastor who is accountable to them for their advice. An example of a valid question and one we might have been able to help with would be "is there any verse that addresses working for someone you had trained?" In this I would have said not scripture does not speak to such a situation. |
