RE: [TruthTalk] Boring/Not Boring?

I Cor 2: Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.  12Now we (X)have received, not the spirit of (Y)the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,  13which things we also speak, (Z)not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.  14But a (AA)natural man (AB)does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are (AC)foolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. As I read these verses this morning I couldn’t help but think about TruthTalk.  So many pointless arguments reign because of lack of understanding of these words here.  One side argues from human “wisdom”; the other from the things of the Spirit.  It is like trying to mix oil and water; futile. The result is adolescent arguments about who insulted/ad hom’d/lied/prideful self-congratulations, etc.  iz  11When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.  12For now we (V)see in a mirror dimly, but then (W)face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also (X)have been fully known.  13But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is (Y)love.

True humility agrees with God and says what He says. Your opinions are based upon a lot of things -  never God's Word as revealed in scripture to my knowledge. You esteem those who believe they have to explain God rather than believe on and obey Him.  jt     On Fri, 10 Mar 2006 09:01:04 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Gary, John, DM, CM, DH, Iz.............NOT boring....IMO of course (several of the departees were also not boring...Jonathan, Caroline, Debbie, Slade and, Bill Taylor   And, as Linda Richman of 'Coffee Talk' used to say: the rest of you 'talk amongst yourselves'!!
