Ya, I too didn't even start checking my content page until 190 posts or so. I'm sure I missed comments but then sometimes I wished I hadn't made some of the comments in a thread I really wanted to avoid so if I've been rude, I do apologize, my online manner must grow in maturity. Offenses will happen.

Doesn't iron sharpening iron have a bit to do with personality difficulties along with argumentation and discussion in scripture?

LOL...I'm not sure why this is turning into a please accept my apologies if you meant me...I didn't

No...my questions are more along the lines of...

"I don't care what scripture you post that shows I am wrong...I'm still right because your interpretation is wrong..."

something like that.......I have seen that type of response in a number of forums and I have seen the same here

Wouldn't you (generic you) WANT to know if you were holding onto something that wasn't biblical even if it was your favorite pet doctrine?

For example, some people handily pull something out of the OT because what they are trying to use as a proof text, just isn't in the NT...

or they will point to the NT and state the OT is no longer relevant

No one has the market cornered on knowledge and I do believe we need each other to help each other and reach right conclusions

I dunno.....I have seen some people in serious error and they just won't listen and keep on their path until they go over the cliff...(not on these forums obviously)

but when I see the same kind of 'so there in your face you are wrong' attitude, I wonder how long until they hit a wall...and then blame God

I always pray to be straightened out and that I want the truth...and yes it can really hurt...

Maybe I'm being too foggy in these questions? :blink:

Another scary thought is that people can go their whole lives in error and it seems to me those people are more determined to carry on in that error than

those, who while they have accepted Christ as their savior, still search for truth knowing that deception is possible...and yes, I have someone in mind in

Sorry...this kinda stuff just really bothers me....... :(

It bothers a lot of us. :b: It is pride that will not let us stand aside and let God work out the details in us or others. I have a bit of different take on things than a lot of people here, but even though I think I am led to keep His feasts because I can find 'proof in scriptures both old and new' that they have not been done away with, does not give me the right to insist that others should think as I do. Taking a different scriptural stance doesnt make a person right either, doesnt give the person the right to keep proudly insisting that one is using things correctly thus implying the other is incorrect. It is not up to us to change a persons mind we do not have that ability, unless its by force and occasionally it does seem the way words are used is akin to the force of ones body language and perhaps verbally also.

There is such a thing as coming out strongly on false doctrines, but even then some consider all kinds of differing things such as keeping Sabbath as a false doctrine and rush to condemn. I think we should all tape the fruits of the Spirit to our screens and make sure that whatever we write exhibits at least a few in each post. After all we are supposed to be walking in the newness of the Spirit or walking as if we are already in the kingdom. End of rant! :P

shalom,

Mizz

sometimes the deception is from self. Those who are hearers only and not doers of the word deceive themselves (James)

sometimes the deception comes from God. Those who do not receive a love of the truth receive a deception from God (2 Thes 2)

Many reasons why people stay deceived and cannot receive the truth even though you speak plainly to them.

If we want to remove the 'mote' from our brothers eye, we must remove the beam from our own. The blindness spoken of by Jesus is the fact that we must understand righteousness equals revelation. Jesus hung out with 12 guys for what, about 2 years or so before one could finally declare by revelation that he was the son of God? He spent the whole 2 years washing them in the water of Gods word that they might be prepared to have truth revealed unto them. He spoke to the rest in parables that they not receive the truth.

Patience in ministry work is an amazing trait in those who have gone through the cycle of tribulation->patience->experience->hope->love of God shed abroad in heart...a few times. It gets easier with more experience. Don't loose heart.

I am guilty of walking away from a thread I have started because it has degenerated into a cesspool of vileness...

just to put it gently :whistling:

I should definitely stand my ground more often but the slinging just takes the wind out of my sails unfortunately.

Don't feel bad. Sometimes the best thing to do is just walk away. It gets really obvious when a thread starts to "turn" as it were. :)

Have had to apologize one more than one occasion upon seeing myself in error. Be it in words chosen, or understanding of another person here.blush.gif

Communication sometimes can be very difficult, especially when discussing matters that are very con-traversal without allowing one's personal

feelings to get in the way. It is something that must be prayed about and surely worth doing so.

Thanks very much for responding everyone. I did read all your posts...just wanted to know what others were thinking

about this topic...I guess there are a number of different answers that apply.

Anyway, thanks again.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
