With you being the arbiter of what Scripture has settled, of course. Congratulations on your power.
What kind of response is this?
Why do people like you like to put the scriptures in this clouded place where no one can discern what the scriptures are saying?
The scriptures say:
LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR.
LOVE YOUR ENEMIES.
WALK IN THE SPIRIT.
ONE STRIKES YOUR CHEEK, TURN THE OTHER TO THEM.
LET YOURSELF BE DEFRAUDED.
And so on. Nothing complicated.
IT IS SETTLED >>> LOVE YOU ENERGY.
IT IS SETTLED >>> YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN.
IT IS SETTLED >>> IF YOU LOVE JESUS YOU WILL KEEP HIS SAYINGS. (All his sayings, not the one’s you chose to accept plainly arbitrarily).
I my estimation the only ones who would have an issue are those who cannot stand to be humbled by man wrongfully for the Lord’s sake or accept any kind of threat to their salvation from the Bible. Just because someone has perverted the scriptures out of their hearts doesn’t mean I have to follow them. I FOLLOW THE LORD THROUGH HIS WORD!
The scriptures are clear to those who WANT to obey them and love them.
Those, like you, would rather have us be full of debate and discussion about what the scriptures say (especially with passages that would put the fear of God in you; now we cannot have that can we?).
We are called to be unified in biblical doctrine. The only way this happens is when EVERYONE SUBMITS themselves to the scriptures. But the minute one proclaims the word of God plainly, people like you emerge who cause divisions and offenses contrary to the scriptures and discourage us by showing contempt at our bold proclamation of what God says.
Too many Christians are full of empty theological words, puffed up with worthless knowledge. They sound so intelligent with their Bible tech talk (hermeneutics, exegesis, blah blah blah). In reality they just show how foolish they have become by being captivated by that cunning man lying in wait to deceive.
2 Corinthians 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.
