Precious Walter, you do realize of course that "trying to
build '
Sound Doctrine' with
only
one lone verse" of Scripture would violate God's
Bible Rules of study, yes?:
i.e.:
(5) Build
Sound Doctrine, God’s Way! :
(5a) “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept;
line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little!”
(Isaiah 28:10 KJB!)
(5b) Find
ALL Related Scriptures For A Specific doctrine! :
”ALL Scripture Is Given By Inspiration Of God, And Is
Profitable For Doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness : that the man of God may
be perfect, throughly furnished unto ALL good works!”
(2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJB!)
(5c) Compare ALL Related Scriptures to learn and know a
Specific doctrine! :
“Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s
wisdom teacheth, but Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual!”
(1 Corinthians 2:13 KJB!)
{Comparing Scripture With Scripture!}
“
Simplicity” in CHRIST! (2 Corinthians 11:3
KJB!) Amen?
+
(6) The Best "Interpretive" Commentary On
The Bible Is :
The BIBLE Itself!
NEVER ever interpret The Many Plain Scriptures
by the
"few" difficult verses
, But, ALWAYS Always
Interpret the few Obscure/Difficult/Dubious verses
By ALL Of The MANY Plain and Clear Passages Of
God’s Pure And Holy Word!
Amen.
Hi, Grace_ambassador I see, But why is it that it is clear to me and others in John 4:24 why He made that statement that GOD is a Spirit? but I do realize that sometimes it is hard to answer a question with a question.
No problem, Precious friend, as
Controversy usually leads to The Truth. So, let's
research this way: Why Did Jesus Say?:
Joh_1:18 "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten SON,
Which is in the bosom of The Father, He Hath Declared Him."
+
Joh_4:24 "God is a Spirit: and they that Worship Him must worship
Him in spirit and In Truth."
Now,
if "The Father" is the only Person of The 'GodHead' then there is
no problem
at all - these two
lone verses would teach the 'doctrine' you are proposing to us,
Correct?
However,
Since The Totality of Scriptures Teach
One Triune GodHead, Then
we need to keep
searching For The
Truthful Bible Answer, Else we
Cannot:
"worship Him In spirit, AND 'In TRUTH!' Correct?
Bible Answer?:
First, come to God, On His
Terms: '
Grace Through faith' - see God's Simple Will!
Then, after Receiving The Third Person of The Triune GodHead, The Holy Spirit,
and He Baptizes you Into The Body Of Christ, And 'Becomes your Blessed Teacher'
( Rule 5c of )
Bible study rules!:
“Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s
wisdom teacheth, but Which The Holy Ghost Teacheth;
comparing spiritual things with spiritual!”
(1 Corinthians 2:13 KJB!)
Then With His Precious Help 'Comparing Scripture With Scripture!' you will
understand All 160 Passages, like these few,
Without any
Contradictions!:
Joh 6:46 "Not that any man hath seen The Father, save
He which is of God, He hath seen The Father."
+
Abraham
Must have 'seen God, The SON'
Correct?:
Gen 18:1 "And The LORD Appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre:..."
Confirmed By "the end of the
above story about Abraham/Sodom and Gomorrah":
Gen 19:24 "Then The LORD [ God, The SON ] rained upon Sodom and upon
Gomorrah brimstone and fire from The LORD [ God, The Father ] out of heaven;"
+
The Third Person? A 'power' only? [ side note: the "electric
power lines"
taught
me Very Well not to "mess with them" but ] that is Totally
Different From God,
The 'Teacher With A
Personality,' Who Is The Blessed Holy Spirit, Who can be
"lied to and destroy people" (Acts 5:1-11),
Correct?
Finally,
Scripturally 'Confirmed' By:
1Jn 5:7 "For There Are Three That Bear Record in heaven, The Father,
The WORD, and The Holy Ghost: and These Three Are One."
Precious friend, Walter, praying and hoping you and Debbie will, as God Wills:
"Who will have all men to be Saved, and to come Unto
The Knowledge Of [ All ] The TRUTH." (1 Timothy 2:4)
Amen.
