No unity ever

[Eternally Grateful]

I believe I have it, the truth, and am on the right team which has set me free. John 8:32

Confidence should not be confused for arrogance.

Respectfully Mary

It becomes arrogance when people try to talk to you and you blow them off telling them You have the truth and they need to find it Or words like this. Instead of openly listening to what they have to say

we Also should never think we know all things. If we get to this point. Again we are in possible trouble

Luke 24:35

so there Christ is recognized in the breaking of bread, iow leading away from a ritual seems to me, not toward one? "Christ was recognized in one of the activities we do repeatedly, every day?"

ah ty, that was the only way i knew to get witnesses w/o having to do it myself lol; so, we might examine how "faith" is used as both a noun and a verb, and maybe even what you or i have as "the faith," but i gotta full plate today. Have a noun if you like, and if you would could you describe this "the faith" you have in a sentence or two?

ok well he who says he knows, doesn't right, so ty for the confession, and you might note that the Bible is a Book of Riddles, basically; riddles that the wise in their own eyes ignore, for the most part, or reason away with justifications, etc

He who seeks to save his soul will lose it
No son of man may die for another's sins

I'll let those with wiser insights than I answer you.

Ephisions 6:14

 

[Marymog]

I meant anyone who has died

The flesh is dead but their soul is alive basking in the glory of God. My flesh does not pray for you: my soul does.

I believe prayers of the saints from the hand of the angel go before God just like scripture says.

How can one stand firm in the truth if they are not confident they have/know the truth?

Ephesians 6:14

If there are no wrong answers, why seek for an answer?
It's better to seek for the Answer now than to find it out when it is too late.
The Answer is Jesus, now what was the question?

 

[Eternally Grateful]

Ephisions 6:14

That assumes you have the truth

Are you open or closed to the fact that may not be true?

Ephesians 6:14

There is confidence and there is pride

do you follow men (a particular church) or are you open to god teaching you?

 

[Marymog]

I do not assume I have the truth. Scripture says The Church is the pillar and foundation of truth....not me.

God bless Mary

There is no answer to that. One must go to God for the understanding.

Yes, I can well believe that some find the Bible nothing but riddles!

Much love!

 

[Marymog]

do you follow men (a particular church) or are you open to god teaching you?

I have both.
I am proud of The Church and I am confident it has the truth.

After 2,000 years what new can I be taught by God? God has placed in the church first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, of helping, of guidance, and of different kinds of tongues. I do not pretend to be any of those and I fear I may twist scripture to my own destruction. I trust the pillar and foundation of truth will not twist scripture.

God bless Mary

so now we know what worm means, ok
"ima defend 'the faith' to my death, or until someone asks me to define it!"
lol

no offense meant ok
but jesus already

So you think that is your church? If so you have done exactly what I warned against

All this is based on assumptions and the word of men who belong to your church

again you have just shown the problem I spoke of.

how can one have unity if you think you have no wrong.

Hi EG,

You have warned against me following men. The men of The Church I follow read scripture and interpret it. Who reads scripture and interprets scripture for you?

Blessings Mary

Hi EG,

Blessings Mary

No one interprets scripture for me. I have people who teach me, But I never take everything they state as truth, they are mere men. God will hold me responsible for what I believe. not for what people teach me.

Eternity is to long to place my fate in the hand of any man.

If you need someone to interpret scripture for you. Why do you not study to shew yourself approved a workman/woman who needs not be ashamed? rightly dividing the word of truth?

Its one thing to listen to people over us, its a far other thing to give them your eternity. If they are wrong. You suffer the consequences.

I apologize. If I have not previously made it clear I will try now.

Scripture says there are false prophets, false teacher’s, men who twist scripture and false doctrines. Logically there is an opposite of all those.

I do not teach doctrine or interpret scripture therefore I can not be a false teacher who twists scripture. I only repeat what the pillar and foundation of truth teaches.

Who’s teaching do you repeat?

God bless Mary

Where does scripture say that I can rightly divide the truth?
