mans carnal logic is what disagrees mathew . Stop following your carnal reasoning . Rather OBEY what was written .You can disagree but logic would differ @Johann.
The Bible is a great material book for the individual to grow in knowledge of God, and spiritual principles.
It is up to the individual to decide what they will do - and it's not demanded or commanded on anyone to do otherwise.
1 Peter was written to a bunch of Jewish people there were dispersed.
Just read the first verse here:
and I am not saying that learning, and growing, or implementing spiritual principles in ones life is WRONG.
Paul nor any other who wrote to the church ever did so with the mindset that what they were writing
was mere suggestions that the church could not do . Rather it was what the CHURCH SHOULD DO .
I wonder how well that mindset you bring would work upon parents of children who told their children
to DO something and then the child said oh i thought what you said was a suggestion , not something they should do .
YOU are the one reasoning with CARNAL LOGIC . and the carnal mind will never and can never be subject unto GOD .
Always an excuse . Oh this was wrote for this person , this was wrote for that person .
NO it was wrote TO CHURCHES . TO THOSE WHOSE FAITH WAS IN JESUS .
James nor Christ were speaking suggestions . This generation will make any excuse of how to find a way
to go around what was written , rather than just OBEYING what was written .
But here is a reminder . IF any OBEYS NOT ......................THAT AINT A SUGGESTION mathew .
You are finding ways to pick and choose what YOU want to believe and what YOU want to follow .
Lambs dont do that mathew . Lambs LOVE . thus lambs OBEY . lest ye be converted as little children .
Stop trying to find ways around DOING and rather just OBEY what was written . LIVE IT , LOVE IT , EMBRACE IT
CLING TO IT , TRUST IN IT , FOLLOW GOD and not men . FOLLOW CHRIST and not carnal reasonings .
