Now in terms of dealing with scripture, what are we supposed 2 do if we’re not sure about something? Are we then 2 use our own conjecture?

Or are we 2 do what it says in Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths”

Now are u looking 2 the lord? Are u asking him 2 show u the way and 2 construct ur path, are u praying 2 God constantly? Even just speaking 2 him daily, I certainly am dats why I have this doctrine.

Uno the bible says tho’s that do the will of God shall receive his doctrine john 7:16-17

Are u doing the the will of the father? Are u keeping his commandments, or are u still sinning? I guess it clearly shows here who has the true doctrine.


If ur sinning then not only do u not have true doctrine but you don’t know God according 2 Jeremiah 9:3, tho’s who know God keep his commandments Jeremiah 31:31-34, I myself don’t sin and I live a holy, soberly life according 2 the scriptures.


And if I do sin (unwilfully) I have an advocate with the father. He Himself is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. john 2:1-2

But if wilfully and if we exhausted the holy spirit and trample Gods grace theres not many chances after that, Hebrews 10:26-27, 2 peter 2:21-22

tho’s dat do his will hear from him, john 8:47, those that he hears are tho’s who do his will, John 9:31, tho’s that know his secret fear him, pslams 25:14

Are u denying the lusts of the flesh, are u denying the world, are u fasting, are u sacrificing? These things allow the holy spirit 2 work in u more smoothly and 2 sanctify you quicker.

Do as Mary alwways would do when Jesus did or said something she did not understand. She would keep it to herself until understanding would ccome or until the Kigdom, whichever was to be first.

A rule of thumb
Scripture will never contradict itself

if it does. Your interpretation is in error

The problem with reading scripture is that we think and live in the physical fleshly world and it is God whose being is in the spiritual world who gives the message to a physical man to put into the Hebrew language. This language was inspired by the Lord and it is unique, it is designed to relate the spiritual world to us.

In the New Testament many of the men given the messages from the Lord wrote in Greek, but not one of these men learned scripture from the Greek. They thought of God as the Hebrew language they all knew told of Him. Some of the words simply can't be transcribed into Greek or English, such as the word shalom. It takes many words to give us the meaning of that word.

Ir is like when the Jews thought that such as circumcision could be done with only the cutting of flesh, and the true meaning was the announcement to the world that you became God's child. The truth was in the spirit, not in the flesh.

Ir takes the holy Spirit to be able to read scripture. All scripture is to be understood in many ways. There is the physical happening, the message it gives of the spirit, and the deep mysterious meaning it gives of a deep spiritual truth. That is why we read and then reread the same verses, and each time we receive a new message from the Lord when we include prayer with our reading.

Well you keep shortening your words. It does for me at least make it hard to read. Praise GOD.

I just wish to touch on one thing you said about willingly sinning. Something sorry but we all have done. Well sin no longer has a hold on us. We in fact do make a choice. So in Hebrews which were Jewish people that were saved. See in a few chapters before 10 they would sin and would then try to go back and offer a sacrifice for that sin. So the sweet Holy Spirit through Paul said.. there is no more sacrifice for that sin. Can Christ die again? When they do that it puts Christ to open shame.

And in Heb 10 its talking about "deliberately, go on sinning". Its the one that rejects the truth. "after we have received the knowledge of the truth". WHO here just goes out sinning and does not care? Yeah.. we all sin and fall short. And John or really the sweet holy Spirit told us that we all have sin. If we say we don't then the truth is not in us. That person is deceived. So context.

And forgive me.. but who are you? I know the Father the sin and the sweet holy Spirit. I know His word. But you I don't know. So for me your words have no weight. See they would ask you "who are you? Who knows you? How long have you walked in what you teach and preach?" Then all of you would go pray for a very long time. I LOVE that. Something we don't do anymore.

But.. to point to Christ and to keep our lives holy is awesome thanks

Whosoever uses God’s Word and do not point the people of God to Christ and His Finished Work at Calvary for ALL grace, they are being deceived by Satan by preaching another Jesus while adding sin to sin. (2 Cor. 4:11, Isa. 30:1)

This is how you know Truth is being presented in its Righteous context.

Yes woe to those who add too the Word of God or take away from the Word of God.. The Word of God in the book of Revelation has a stern warning to all of those do so,, like we see in this thread::

Revelation 22 KJV
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Appropriate for a person who has denied the Atonement of the LORD Jesus to cover their transgressions in this very forum..

No..

its called a mistake ever made one of thos! or are u perfect!!
May I suggest you take the time to go back through your Posts/Comments to see how many other mistakes you have made when quoting Scripture. It is very important to get a quotation of Gods Word right. Best way to do that is to use the copy/paste method. It will prevent you from repeating such a mistake.
