[TruthTalk] Party Crashing

[Judy Taylor]

Thank you Kevin,

Your service to God and zeal for His truth is such a blessing. 

I found this quote yesterday and think it may be needed here.

"It has escaped the understanding of many Christians that what they believe is more often shaped by the teachings and traditions of religious men than by Scripture. Yet the wisdom of the world is no substitute for God's Word, even if offered from the pulpit or in the Christian media.

Jesus warns us in Matthew 24:12 that in the last days the love of many toward Him would grow cold because evil would increase in the world. There is little time to waste in the short span of life granted us by God. We must choose today whom we will serve."

I hear a lot of praise for men around TT, Paloney, Peck. At least one of which professes of a spirit possesion.

Prov 28:4 They that forsake the law praise the wicked: but such as keep the law contend with them.

We are told to earnestly contend.

Jude 1 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

Paul spoke with "MUCH CONTENTION"

1 Thes 2:2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention.

But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.

Paul refers to his entrance into Thessalonica in verse 1and his treatment in Philippi.

Act 16:22 the multitude rose up together against them

They had many stripes laid upon them. This was just a prelude to turning the whole city into an uproar Act 17:5 in Thessolonica. In Paul immediately set upon disputing again in Athens act 17:17

A VERY CONTENTIOUS fellow this Paul!

I like you and DaveH too Blaine even though I don't agree with the structure

you both serve   Let me address the issue of contention for a moment. I'm sure

you will agree that we are at different ends of the spectrum spiritually which

in reality is opposite sides. There is a spirit of truth and a spirit of error and

we can not both be right... so the situation does become contentious at times. 

I don't see any way around it other than leaving the list or playing the hypocrite.

At least I give all of you equal time :) I don't believe any of us are there yet and

I've learned some things myself... from interaction with the ppl on TT.    judyt

As I said before, Judy often shows more true Christian spirit than most. 

She at least tries, huh?  I like Judy, even though I have to admit she is,

as Izzy said, "contentious!!"  LOL

From: Judy Taylor

jt: I was not addressing you Izzy - this time you are interjecting yourself

into a response I wrote to Blaine and part of your post was needful for

clarification.  I'm not angry with you so the animosity is one sided. I'm 

not being rude or mean but it is good for one to practice what they preach.

Once again, Judy, I would appreciate it if you would stop interjecting yourself into

conversations I am having with other people. You are rudely interrupting at the party again.

Surely you understand English, so please honor my request. Thank you again. Izzy

 

On Behalf Of Judy Taylor
Everyone has stuff that "just comes to them" - where it comes from is the question.

This is why believers should have spiritual discernment. There are lots of spirits talking

all the time. jt

 

Blaine:  This is very interesting Izzy.  I have had similar experiences. 

I thought Mormons were the only ones who did this.  LOL

And how would you define relationship with the Lord? Occasionally, during my running daily conversations/mental mullings with the Lord as Im going through whatever work I am doing, I am startled by an awareness of Him distinctly answering my question. I know the answer came from Him, because it is a thought that I know did not originate with me. It is always a surprising thought because of this. This never ceases to amaze me. I think this is just one example of being in relationship with Him. He is really there. He really interacts with you. And you are aware of it.  Awesome!
