To Debate or Not....that is the question.

Grace to you,

Not absorbing a meaning of someones words sometimes has to do with spiritual maturity.

O-kay.

Peace,

Dave

Sometimes I feel like getting off these forums all together, as it is very difficult to relay spiritual thought thru words. Kinda like an oxymoron. It is like trying to contain the wind. I apologize for causing any offense to you.

I do however feel frustrated..as I look back 30 yrs...and see how lack of spiritual depth the church has become (which doesn't mean you r a part, as I don't know u at all). Anyway, that's another topic for another time I suppose...

Bless you...

....spiritual depth....

Deep

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Psalms 119:11

Waters

And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. Revelation 21:6-7

What is your definition of 'spiritual depth', in your own words? Thanks!

P.S. I would never have imagined way back in 1977, when I was saved, that I would have experienced the many layers of God that I have. For one thing, I didn't realize there were SO many layers, AND what those layers consisted of. His ways ARE much higher then our ways, and His thoughts incomprehensible...

Also, the carnal mind cannot comprehend, and then live the spiritual....so it takes time and insight and growth.

Daily growth by renewing of the mind, the washing of the mind with the Word, all things become new! We have forever with the Lord to grow in understanding and as we only live in the present- let us present ourselves to the fruit of the Spirit to enhance that growth!

Gal 5:22-26

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. 24 And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

NKJV

My greatest desire is to be out of this unredeemed flesh*** for it wars against the truth I wish to obey in The Word of Truth. A personal example- I love the flavors of God's foods so I am inclined to enjoy to much and over eat! In my overweight-ness my testimony of Him is lessoned by my lack of self control! So victories are seated with failures within me, and brings turmoil and conflict which in turn affects my fruit but blessed is this truth

Phil 4:12-13

12 I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. 13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

NKJV

I think every professional dieter knows this truth!!!! Love Steven

Spiritual Depth

When You Have The Word Of God

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Proverbs 30:5

Should You Get The Word Of Joe Instead

Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar. Proverbs 30:6

Deep

And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:15-17

Is The WORD

I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. Psalms 138:2

And At The Judgement

And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.

He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. John 12:47-48

And Beyond

For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. Psalms 119:88
