in the end agreed. Aside from assuming the "attack mode"
at the outset you acknowledged that there are limitations to
our understanding of Scripture's meaning and, throughout
life will continue to be this "seeing in part". Thanks, Lance
jt: Are you sure we agree Lance :) because I
really didn't
"assume attack mode", this is just my way of
expressing
myself. My heart is not to attack you or any person
on TT,
neither is it to lift myself up and put you or
anyone here
down. I see truth as objective and
important enough to
risk being misunderstood.

jt: This is the problem and the reason we do not communicate.
Your
view is totally natural, mine supernatural or Spiritual. I
would say the
Bible was written by the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit and is ONLY ever
interpreted correctly with the help and
assistance of the Holy Spirit
because the things of God are
foolishness to the 'natural man'.
Is there anyone on this site who has not, on occasion,
misinterpreted Scripture? Or, God forbid, may not presently be
misinterpreting this Book?
jt: Depends.. There is certainly a lot of misinterpreting going
on.
It began to come together for me when I started doing my
own
homework and quit looking to great men after the flesh for
answers. Now I don't have to ignore any or cut any out, I
can
have confidence in the whole Bible, every word and I love the
Hymn
'Wonderful Words of Life' I think it is my favorite.
One sometimes wonders if there's a more dangerous instrument
in the
hands of a believer than the Bible. I mean dangerous (bad)
not dangerous
(good). Scripture + Spirit-filled believer = this site,
all churches,
all traditions.
jt: I'd say Scripture + Carnal believer + Psychology + Mens
Theology
+ Doctrines of devils which encompass most of the
other as well.
What we always have is an admixture of truth & error. Non is
excluded from this reality. May I see the names of those who
believe
themselves to be noteworthy exceptions to the foregoing.
Lance
jt: Moot point, since noone is there yet; even the apostle Paul
toward
the end of his ministry said "he had not yet attained" and he
wrote
most of the NT. But we forget what is behind and press on
looking
to Jesus the author and perfector of our faith Note: Faith that
comes
by hearing and hearing by the Word of God which is found in
this
Bible. judyt

When do

They would be unrepentant

Kevin,
maybe sometimes its better to stay out of other people's business,
especially if all you are doing in it is making matters worse. Even the
paranoid
(like me, and John, and Izzy, and DaveH, and Blaine, and Lance,
and DavidM,
and whoever else you don't like) can have some true enemies.

Well I guess Jesus should rewrite Mark
16
Todays 21 first century version:
Go ye into all the world and preach
the gospel to those that want to hear it
This is a public list and you are choosing to be here
Why do you communicate with Izzy? Do you actually think you are
accomplishing some good addressing your thoughts to someone who is not
listening to you? I don't mind the discussion with you,
but Izzy does. the scriptures teach that we are not to "seek our
own." Love does not seek its own way or will. Izzy
does have a delete button. And you have instruction from God on
how to show respect to others. Why not practice what you preach
instead of insisting on your "rights" as a member of a public
list.
