    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    This rings bells... Some keep studying the manual and never drive the car. Some keep studying the map and never walk on the Way. But the deeper issue is that Satan still uses the quest for knowledge to draw folks off track as in the garden. So I have sought to surrender to God the desire to...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    For the record, when someone wants to play scripture ping pong and avoid reason, I refer then to James 3 which clearly says that the Wisdom from above is reasonable - i.e. able to be discussed. If they refuse to engage in this way, I make it clear that they are not manifesting His Wisdom.

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Somewhere there is a balance... The Scripture is given as a primary source of revelation along with the creation and His continuous prophetic word. Hobby is rather an inadequate word for text many have died for. But I know what you mean.

    Everyone is under NDA at this stage, need patents in place, but the device is called the 'bird anemometer'. Here is how God works - had lunch at our place with a group from church - I show one fellow from Singapore an early concept prototype. Now he had a 'Word' to support us and has Masters in...

    Is the Logos meaningful, or meaningless? - Depends on your view of Logos.

    Back to the Logos - I believe that folks apply human thinking to the ways of God especially when it comes to chronology. Before Abraham was I AM By the way I love the response to 'I AM' Yeshua 'Yes you are..'. sorry I digress So when God collides with the created order He doesn't...

    Years back I wandered into a prayer meeting - all strangers - as I walked in the door a lady came up to me with bible open showing the verse "they shall have witty inventions" You are an inventor she said and the body of Christ needs the gift. total stranger - I have never forgotten. We are...

    Shucks... Maybe the fact I am still there indicates I am doing something wrong ??? You were to me one of the few lights in the fog. However, battling the unbelief and the system keeps me sharp. I have less time now though because I teamed up with a guy at church and entered a competition...

    Bibliolatry: Worship/knowledge of the book MORE than the author

    Hi Guys, excuse me butting in but this issue is close to my heart. I have just had a marathon dialogue on CF with a 'biblidolitor' and what was revealed was he didn't believe that the Spirit of Christ indwells believers in this age. So it is just us and the book - no direct communicado with the...

    about Suicide

    It's your warnings that are the issue - not His. Satan quoted Scripture and it was not God's Word.

    about Suicide

    How does the passage in 1 Cor 3 refer to suicide when Paul states as follows... 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate...

    about Suicide

    It is difficult to take you seriously when you make such flippant responses. It is common for folks to use ridicule in a discussion when cornered by reason.

    about Suicide

    I think you missed my point... Despite your fancy graphics designed to bolster your argument, I do not believe that all who take action knowing that they will loose their life, loose salvation. Some for example do this to save others and are applauded for it in Scripture. This is not murder.

    Yep, and some do it without knowing it...
