And women hehe...there is only one savior and one salvation common to all men!
Have you read it?
Check out 1 Cor 7. It's pretty clear that Paul is giving personal advice and not speaking a commandment from the Lord, unlike Romans 10.
Act 8:26 But an angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza: the same is desert.Are you sure about that? Because I have listed verses that say we are saved by preaching (not reading) and that faith comes by hearing a preacher (not reading).
It absolutely is. My point is that the Holy Spirit opens eyes through other men. The HG has taught me through my Pastor. Jesus, an angel or the HG will obviously have to teach some directly, but they do it so they can teach others.Here we have an example how to read scriptures and still not understand what we are reading.
My question is: After the resurrection of Christ, isn't it the Holy Spirit opening the scriptures? Illumination, to open the "eyes of our understanding?"
Absolutely FHII, when I was a boy, I was given a small Gideon Afrikaans bible, very hard to read, not a good translation in a small town called Brakpan, so small I could get on a bicycle and go from Brakpan to Benoni in less than 20 minutes..well, I surrendered to Christ in a small Baptist Church when the pastor read these words....It absolutely is.

Joh 17:2 even as thou gavest him authority over all flesh, that whatsoever thou hast given him, to them he should give eternal life.
Joh 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only true God, and him whom thou didst send, even Jesus Christ.
Joh 17:4 I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.
Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Joh 17:6 I manifested thy name unto the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.
Joh 17:7 Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are from thee:
Joh 17:8 for the words which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received them, and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that thou didst send me.
Joh 17:9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast given me; for they are thine:
I was in tears, nothing to do with emotions, and since then I can give you testimony after testimony after testimony, the Lord saved me from death many, many times.
But now I ramble.
God bless brother.
I am not a good communicator FHII, and often misunderstood by many on forums.Praise God, brother!
