So this would indicate there was a difference between those who look forward to Calvary and those who look back. Many saints appeared to many people, then we do not hear what happened to them. Matthew 27 "52The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. 53 After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people. This is irrelevant to the text discussed. If you see it as relevant please explain how? On 8/28/2022 at 2:06 PM, JohnR7 said: t does to me. Although Matthew 7 makes this a lot more clear: [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. The TEXT we were discussing and my comment to this text "- Titus 1:15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. My comment- On 8/28/2022 at 7:29 AM, Starise said: The context of that verse means to those who are pure ( in Christ). Those who have been saved, they are pure. The verse says nothing about Christians not having the ability to see good and evil. There is no connection I can see to the text you just quoted- On 8/28/2022 at 2:06 PM, JohnR7 said: It does to me. Although Matthew 7 makes this a lot more clear: [1] Judge not, that ye be not judged. [2] For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Being seen as "pure" through the blood of Christ has no connotation to judgement of another brother. This is rambling far to much to make any sense of it.

Also, I use Science to help me understand the Bible. Hello, I hope you don't mind my asking but when you say the Holy Spirit teaches and guides you, what exactly do you mean?

Right. There are multiple contradictions between the Gospel writers alone, just in their different accounts of the order of events of Crucifixion week. Just one: Mark 11 tells how Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem was followed the next day by His casting the money changers out of the Temple. (His account is correct: the triumphal entry was on a Sabbath, when no commerce was allowed.) Luke 19 says both events occurred on the same day: from which we have gotten the "Palm Sunday" fallacy, which became institutionalized throughout most of the Christian world. OOps, sorry.

Yes, but this also a question of interest for believers and even non believers and the answer of the sister came with scripture, no-challegable scripture...and we also have the individual experiences...which are in many and different ways. When that happens to someone Jesus will make sure that they will know... We all have the benefits of the Holy Spirit in our Lives..whether we know it or we seek it or not...the Holy Spirit is also at work with unbelievers to help them understand some things or to make them curious about some things, or helping them to wonder about some things, in this way he is preparing the people to be fertile ground and receive the rain and the word of God and receive it and take roots in them.

I was seeking God, and God found me. Then He led me to Jesus, and Jesus led me to the Holy Spirit of God. The Holy Spirit led me back to Jesus, and Jesus led me back to the father. I knew nothing about Jesus or the Holy Spirit. I was just seeking to Know God. Once I told a friend I did not understand the Bible. He said, pray for the Holy Spirit to help me to understand. I did pray and God answered that prayer because I started to understand what the Bible has to teach us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with this 100%. It is interesting though when we get three different interpretations on the same text for those claiming to be led by the HG. Go figure.
