Whyme

Thanks bro. I like to learn new things about love. This is interesting.

1 Corinthians 9:19-23

English Standard Version

19 For though I am free from all, I have made myself a servant to all, that I might win more of them. 20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21 To those outside the law I became as one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but under the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all people, that by all means I might save some. 23 I do it all for the sake of the gospel, that I may share with them in its blessings.

1 Cor. 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

Goes with the territory. If the Pharisees and Sadducees and others hadn't contended with Jesus on many doctrines, we would have missed out on a lot of good teaching.

That scripture reminds me of another.

Matthew 18:7
New American Standard Bible

7 “Woe to the world because of its [a]stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to the person through whom the [c]stumbling block comes!

What i get from Thomas is that he was given proof although he doubted. Jesus said he was blessed but that those who dont have proof yet still believe are blessed too. That helped me. Not sure if i understand the scripture properly but those are my thoughts.

I was just thinking about how i need to talk less, and i clicked on your blog and here was this post. Thanks. Please pray for me. I have issues that need addressed.
