OK but do you understand its not always the message sometimes its the way it is expressed?
When I feel I can't be heard,I go back to the word and dig deeper
There are times I see more then there are times its confirmed what I believe.
When we are not able to reach others when we are correct in understanding and knowledge then wisdom teaches us to just move on.
I have had people tell me the truth of the word I could not see,we just let it rest. Then later at the Spirit's direction all of a sudden there it was in plain understanding.
Maybe I'm just a little disappointed BC I thought I was seeing a progression in KNOWLEDGE,UNDERSTANDING THEN WISDOM
Three different words that help us grow..
Again I'm sorry I'll just back out for awhile.
I appreciate all that you're saying. From my view, though, I am offering the clearest Scriptures possible that clearly outline the idea that I am relaying. Often, there just is no other explanation other than the Word that I am merely copying and pasting. But so often (at all of these sites) folks aren't here to learn and it is proven by flat out ignoring the Scripture that I offer. It isn't my Scripture, but the Lord's. It is amazing how often, and it is each day that I post, that people simply do not respond to the clearest Scripture there is available to clarify an issue. To date, and I have been on these sites for years now, virtually no one changes their minds about anything. I, however, and as you recall with the Job thread, was pleased to see some great ideas that helped shape my understandings. Also, I recently offered up a post looking for information on "spare the rod, spoil the child." Was I set in my ways if I am openly asking for understanding?
Of course, you are forgiven. You don't even have to ask . . . I live in that forgiving state. And I ask of your forgiveness as well.
It just seems to me that if "we" are to get along, here, we must exist on level planes. We must drive on two-way streets. What's good for the goose ought to be good for the gander, meaning, that if others expect me to understand where they are coming from, I deserve that same view as it comes towards me. But it is this one-way attitude that is so dominant that I can't hardly bear it. And, I admit that I am currently in "burn-out" mode, here. I can only handle the denial of the utter obvious for so long and also admit that I have been telling myself that it is time for me to depart for a while. Why? Because you are right! I am becoming irritated, but I also believe in a way that we witnessed in Paul as he once or twice aggressively cast the dust off of his sandals in opposition to his aggressors.
So as I write this message, I think that it is best that I step away for a while . . . but that bothers me too. I don't want to step away, for I love our Bible and our God so much that I NEED to talk about His Almighty, Powerful Plan. I also want to be here to learn from those who I feel are wiser than myself . . . I am hungry and starving to learn!
I dunno. This is just discouraging that you and I would have this "fallout." I really appreciated your warmth and think of you often in that way . . . wondering if and when I'd run into you again, here. And, when we did, it turned out ugly. That . . . is not easy for me.
My best . . .
