You've pulled a sentence out of context, so I don't know. My job is to seek the truth. I think that should be everybody's job.

I've pulled a sentence out of context???

Please tell me how quoting from the Statement of Faith, what it says about what we believe about the Word of God is wrong or out of context, ...why not read it yourself...

What amazes me even more is how can we, guilty sinners, ...can even entertain the thought we can "judge" God's Testimony???

So, ...should I tear out this page in my Bible?

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:  2 Tim 3:16

Please notice it says ALL of Scripture, ...that means exactly ALL, every jot and title in the Hebrew  OT, and every word in the Greek NT are considered to be, ...given to us , ...recorded for us, ...the high lighted portion is one word, ...theopneustos, in the Greek and it means, ...divinely breathed, ...literally, ...God breathed...

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Pet 1:20-21 

Isn't it astounding, ...the Holy Spirit knew this question would be asked today and two thousand years ago wrote through the quills of both Paul and Peter, ...the men in question, ...His response to your question...

I don't think muzzling people we disagree with is helpful in our pursuit of the truth.

Who's muzzling?

I have revealed what the Holy Spirit has said, ...using the Word of God to "correct," ...like the Holy Spirit heard Jesus say to Him.

Howbeit when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all Truth: for He shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear (Jesus say), that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come. John 16:13 

Looks like Jesus Himself has answered your question...

How can you hope to learn when you don't allow opinions that disagree with your own?

Paul said the great commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus said it was to love the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul. Who was right? 

Paul said women can’t speak in church. God had a woman, Deborah, rule over Israel. Did God make a mistake? 

Paul said to obey our rulers. Adolph Hitler had six million Jews murdered. Were Germans supposed to obey him and kill Jews? 

Paul talks about teachers. Jesus told us not to call ourselves teachers. Who is right?

If we are here to learn, then we welcome differing opinions. We sift through each other’s words to find the truth.

Doesn't the answer to that question depend entirely on the opinion and what is stated?

Are we supposed to learn from something that isn't scriptural?

Let's say for instance that some individual teaches that not all scripture is as important as another section of scripture---what are we to learn from that?

I will tell you. What we learn from that, is that this person is in error and we should attempt to correct him.

Do you agree?

Friend, the word opinions in the NT is the Greek word for heresy , ...so are you suggesting I should listen to heresy???

 

I don't have a "hope" to learn, ...I have an assurance that I "will" learn the TRUTH of God's Word!

But the Anointing (Holy Spirit) which you received from Him (Father) abides in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as His Anointing  (Holy Spirit) teaches you concerning all things, and is true and no lie, and as He has taught you, abide in Him (Jesus).  1 John 2:27

Personally, ...I have found it to be much more beneficial to be taught by the Holy Spirit, ..than by man's opinions, ...heresies,...been there, done that for the first three years of my walk with my Lord, ...but to each his own...

Why don't you ask the Holy Spirit these questions, ..He will teach you, ...it's a promise, ...if I give you the answers you will probably say they are just my particular heresies.

My definition of the Word of God is: Those instances in the Bible where God and Jesus are directly quoted. I believe it is the correct definition. If you are here to learn, then you welcome opinions that differ from your own. We can sift our the words and find the truth.

If you are here to learn, then you welcome opinions that differ from your own. If my opinion is in error, all you have to do is prove it. To prohibit people from expressing opinions you disagree with, calling them heresy, isn't constructive.

Friend, ...that's an invitation to be deceived...

But evil men and seducers will go forward to worse, deceiving and being deceived.  2 Tim 3:13

    • 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.”

    • 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.
