Not interested in excjhanging the Truth for Uncertainty. No need, since I never believed in faith healers.no growth needed in that department. Maybe you do not know Him ( chk 1 Co 13:5)
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
We have a supernatural Teacher who leads us into all Truth, thru God's perfect Word "The Truth"
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
hereby we know that we are of the truth
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe.
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.(like Barfh)
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety,
And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with ALL knowledge, able also to admonish one another.
That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding
all riches of the full assurance of understanding

The point IS: you seem to think that Unity is more important than Truth. (I hope not, but that’s how it’s looking.) Seeking Unity is the path to compromise and humanism. Seeking Truth will (incidentally) bring us into unity with other true Believers. (The God-kind of unity.) Izzy
Well, you are close. I believe there to be such a thing as "truth." I do not believe that I can ever be fully assured that I have possessed this "truth." It is Paul who tells us not to put our faith in knowing (I Co 8:1-3). To argue against scripture and this statement is to deny the reality of growth and intellectual change. Unity will never be achieved on the basis of agreement. Surely you can see the difference between love, respect, empathy and the like AND intellectualism. There are those on this forum who criticize "intellectualism." A humorous circumstance, IMO, in view of the fact that their legalistic stance is, at it's core, a type of intellectualism. But you speak of "seeking truth." A curve ball. Actually, I could agree with this. I have the highest respect for Lance and Gary and Bill and Jon and others ------------------- we do have one thing in common, the search for that which is true. It is with those who are no longer searching with whom I have problems. When you say "I Know," you do not yet know as you ought. That is scripture. That is my position on "truth."
