Has it to do with the duration of 'mouldering' in one's grave?   I was attempting, with a total lack of success apparently, yesterday to explain how it is that both people and events throughout history continue to 'influence' all of us to a greater or lesser extent. It may be that we don't even consciously know of either the event or the person.   Some on TT continue to believe that they take a book, the Bible, open and read it, then, with the aid of The Spirit, come to an accurate understanding (the first time they undertake this activity) of its meaning. THIS IS FALSE. THIS IS NOWHERE PROMI8SED. For those who believe that what I'm saying is false and, that they can actually do this, repeatedly and, without exception, please identify yourself. We shall cease the writing of commentaries forthwith along with the writing of books altogether EXCEPT FOR THE TRANSCRIPTION OF THAT WHICH YOU SAY! =========================================================================      I do not say that I can do it repeatly or without exception.  I am saying that I can do it as the Holy Spirit sees fit to reveal it to me.  That may be on the first time or on the forty first time, as we are ready and as He sees fit.  The fact is, the Bible says that He will lead us into all truth.  Absolute Biblical truth comes no other way, and through no other person than the Holy Spirit.
