Excellent advice amigo! I couldn't agree more, because I myself not only read but also study my Bible daily, excepting rare occasions when on the road, and even then, find quiet time with my Lord in the evenings. In the beginning of my Christian walk, I was one of those who learned from others until the day I was convicted by contradictions being taught. That's when (about 30 years ago) the Spirit speaking to my conscience persuaded me to not only read, but study to show MYSELF approved of God, rightly dividing the Word of truth. Have I always done that with perfect understanding? Has anyone? But this is what I have learned to say, when I can be shown FROM the Word of God why my understanding cannot be true because it causes confusion or contradiction, then, and only then will I be open and willing to reconsider my thinking. Problem in these forums is that many people simply disagree from personal opinions without showing FROM the Bible why! If you or anyone else believe my replies show I have not read with open ears and eyes or that I have twisted the verses to fit my preconceived doctrines than I am ready to hear what you and others have to say. Frankly, I've grown very weary of snipping replies that serve only to belittle fellow Christians. Many blessings to you and yours Amigo, whom I consider my brother in Christ and friend.
Ponder on this my friend .
You know what i find so startling .
Many can say truths , many can even understand the God head
and other things . AND YET do you wanna know what i see in most .
They are heading into or already in , THIS ECUMEINCAL NIGHTMARE of anti christ and its intefaith .
AND they actually beleive its the peace plan of GOD .
SO let me give us all some good sound advice . EVEN the RCC can spout truths
EVEN a mormon can spout truths
and yet them and others KNOW NOT THE TRUTH .
Something i have noticed . I watch the people on this site .
Much of them cling to hopes in polticians on either the right or left
Most hold to hope in thta ecumiencal movmement .
SO TELL me , what would it matter IF one even did understand a truth
AND YET WAS IN A LIE all along a lie of anti christ .
TELL me what good was that knowledge THEN .
I am watching this site and other sites .
AND I am telling us all we got a serious problem .
I have never seen a generation on both sides so educated in greek
so educated and wise sounding in intellectual hermes and etc
THEY always seem to be learning , but unable to even COME TO THE BASIC T RUTH at all .
DONT this people realize JESUS has been DENEID by this ecumeincal peace plan .
THEY SO RUN to and HOPE IN . JESUS HAS BEEN DENEID .
HOW ON EARTH is that any knd of peace plan of GOD . THEY LIED
to all the false religoins as well as to christendom . THE DIRE NEED to BLEIEVE ON JESUS GOT DENEID .
And yet people run to this ecumenical move as though tis the love of GOD .
THEY RUN to these UNITY preachers and finding common ground .
THEY RUN to men who brought us The abraham peace accords , WHICH AGAIN DENIED THE DIRE NEED
to BELIEVE ON JESUS .
we got problems my friend . MANY seem to be in love and falling only more in love with
A LIE . a lie they THINK is LOVE AND THINK is OF GOD
but has called evil good and good evil , has trod the dire need to b eleive on jESUS under foot .
AND THEY T HINK its so loving , so of GOD . IT AINT . ITS Of satan . And warn i must .
