yes, he's the author and finisher of our faith. and I'm assured that he's not telling us diffrent things, about the same thing.It seems that the moment men try to build a systematic theology, God thwarts them...maybe because that's not how God wants to be known...He wants to spend time with each child...
this is why these christian boards are so good. this is a place where discussions of God word can be a benfits to us all. I have learned a lot by being on this board. no, I might not agree with everything, but at least I'll listen to what you say. no, I don't know everything about God, and getting mad with other is childish. as one poster said, "Im leaving and preach somewhere else". well wherever you go you will run into the same brothers and sisters. so that's a no go there. taking your ball and going home is not the answer. plant and water, God will give the increase, if someone agrees with you or not, but have patience with one another, we all are learning.
as with the parable of the sower. we all come up together. the tares have roots also that can wither also and they can die, and be reborn just like us. was we always wheat? no, we once was tares. these parables of our Lord have more meaning that just what we have hear for others, but the Holy Ghost will teach us all things.
just as the one who want to go and preach somewhere else. good, but as the apostles said, 1 Corinthians 3:11 "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Corinthians 3:12 "Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;
1 Corinthians 3:13 "Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.
1 Corinthians 3:14 "If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
1 Corinthians 3:15 "If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
so if we might be incorrect in a area, we might suffer loss, but yet we're saved. so I question NOT anyone salvation, it's only that we might have been taught in error. so hence the christian board. thank God for these boards to help one another.
bottom line, if someone tell me something, I'll listen, but give me scripture so that I can confirm what you're saying. it's better to go to heaven with one good eye, than to go to hell with two good ones.
