It has something to do with believing that God is, if one doesnt believe God can than one shuts the door on God. There are things would love to see but havnt im fine with that.I would think that the majority of NT authors were very well versed in the Tanakh. They quoted it rather extensively, and expounded on it quite profoundly. I think that God's Word is extremely profound, mysterious (hidden, not erudite or esoteric), and thus, edifying. We only learn about Jesus and the Holy Spirit through Scriptures. Therefore, continuous reading of it is the only way to know God's will, and to understand it unto salvation and that of others.
Personally, the gift and workings of the Holy Spirit is quite a mystery to me. I'm aware of the promise of its reception to all believers, but have yet to see its power in anyone who claims to have it (I don't believe that I am endowed with it on any sort of significant level). To me, it requires humility and faith to receive it, and that there is a direct correlation to these two dispositions as to when and how often one has its availability.
Do you mean what is actually whole and complete living in Christ Jesus ? What is right and good ?The question is, 'healthy relating....what does it consist of?'
I mean precisely what the question is asking Joseph....there are no caveats.Do you mean what is actually whole and complete living in Christ Jesus ? What is right and good ?
Good question, I've been meaning to ask...?The question is, 'healthy relating....what does it consist of?'
True, but I think that under the Covenant of Grace, its reception requires faith in Christ. In that, it is a gift and a testimony to the Church. It is the proof of God's promise of redemption to the believer, and a testimony of the power of Christ to the unbeliever. So that I don't believe that you would find a Jew, or any other monotheist with this endowment. It is for the Church only, thus God showing His approval of the Gospel of Christ as the only means towards salvation. He has endorsed no other theology.It has something to do with believing that God is, if one doesnt believe God can than one shuts the door on God.

So what? As long as you speak and ask questions not understood, they are meaningless questions, up to no good ?I mean precisely what the question is asking Joseph....there are no caveats.
Tell me what you don't understand about the question Joseph.So what? As long as you speak and ask questions not understood, they are meaningless questions, up to no good ?
You don't know? you don't have an angle on it?......give it a try, you never know what thoughts it might stir up.Good question, I've been meaning to ask...?
What did I post ? (and you ignored)Tell me what you don't understand about the question Joseph.
Not good and proper thoughts, not related to God's Word, God's Plan, God's Purpose, or in Jesus.You don't know? you don't have an angle on it?......give it a try, you never know what thoughts it might stir up.
Joseph....the question 'healthy relating...what does it consist of?' is so straight forward there is little else I can say to make it clearer. It's asking you for your take on healthy relating ....relating to yourself, to others and to our Creator.What did I post ? (and you ignored)
My question was very plain English ....
Not one verse of Scripture can be interpreted outside of its literary context, it's cultural and historical context, and its dispensational context.
Yes.
But it can't save you.
You say, but not true.Joseph....the question 'healthy relating...what does it consist of?' is so straight forward there is little else I can say to make it clearer.
Not worth the effort, ...'good question' was sarcastic. The term Healthy Relating is too vague and ambiguous, you shouldn't be playing guessing games with people, ...it appears that you actually don't understand the lack of clarity and definition of your own premise.You don't know? you don't have an angle on it?......give it a try, you never know what thoughts it might stir up.
But it does alter it.I'm saying that context doesn't ever nullify the plain meaning of any singular verse of scripture; and that every verse in holy scripture can be taken by us as being a statement of God's absolute truth.
Only those walking around in the dark don't know where they're going. Light enables vision and hope.....if anything, it makes hope all the more tangible, it sees the goal even though it is 'as through a glass darkly' and strives with all the energy God inspires to win the race set before us.Not worth the effort, ...'good question' was sarcastic.

But it does alter it.
Eat my flesh and drink my blood. Sever body parts if they cause you to sin. Eye for an eye, tooth for tooth. What is it to you if I want him to stay alive, until I return. Jephtah sacrificed his daughter to the Lord. Be one, as I and the Father are one. God ordered the slaughtering of the Ammorites.
Context absolutely and invariably, alters and redefines the plain meaning of Scripture.
No verse, worth mentioning, stands alone by its plain and literal meaning.
