The Islamists do not accept John 1:1 for starters, and since Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh, there is no differnce between Christ alone or the Word alone.
lol. Works for me.
Time is a moving stream created by God into which He has immersed us.
8~)
they share reformers iconoclascism however
. . . suicide bombing the "Protesty apostates"
. . . welllllllllllll, not exactly . . . and not in this century, anyway.
Just so I'm forever immersed in His ETERNAL LIFE RIVER.
AMEN!
Thanks. I just sent you one on Kim Clement via e-mail. Interesting. Says we'll have three Christian presidents in a row. That would be loverly. Mxxx
THANKS.
I love his spirit when worshipping. My jury is still out on how accurate he is prophetically. SEEMS like his heart is in the right place. We shall see.
Would love that to be true. Color me skeptical but happy to pray toward it.
The similarity with Islam is in the beleive that all things necessary for salvation are contained in a certain sacred text. The said text is, of course different for the Protestants and for the Muslim, but the faulty principle is shared.
Lots of folks may differ with Christ's assertions about THE SCRIPTURES as well as Paul's and the rest of them.
But a high value on Scripture has served me exceedingly well in my life . . . and is certainly seeing me well toward eternal life with THE LIVING WORD.
Submitting my Holy Spirit led understanding of THE LIVING WORD to the magesterical
WOULD REALLY BE hysterically stupid, imho.
Do not make it personal. I asked the question assuming your point of view was correct in the beginning. "Blogger's reading" was an inquiry.
In other words,
NO FAULTY principle involved AT ALL.
Just a Biblical principle Biblically applied.
Christ is the Word of God, but that is distinct from the Holy Scripture, which itself states so (John 14:26, 21:25).
I know the Islam does not accept the Gospels, but the superstitious beleif that a certain book is alone sufficient is shared.
Other than belief in the Lord, nothing is necessary for our salvation
Actually, problems in my life surfaced for
lack of a lofty enough construction on Scripture and/or a flawed, sloppy, loose, partial adherence to Scripture's principles, truths and standards.
2nd most frequent disasters probably came from paying too much attention to the local substitute for the magesterical.
But, The Lord slapped my rear quite severaly a number of times for that and I got better at sifting, sorting and TRUSTING GOD ALONE . . .
to such degrees.
There's NOTHING SUPERSTITIOUS
about TRUSTING SCRIPTURE to say what it means; mean what it says and to be applicable accordingly.
And propensity for vandalism that rivals the KLA.
They whitewashed over colourful wall paintings, removed many statues and stained glass windows, and destroyed all the shrines and saints' relics which had attracted pilgrims to many cathedrals, abbeys and monasteriesIn the reformation the church decorations were whitewashed but 1961 the church was restored to its Catholic appearance including a fresco of the Archangel Gabriel weighing souls.
Like most dooms, it was whitewashed over at the Reformation. It was discovered by accident in 1892 when the boards were taken out to be burnt, and rain washed the whitewash off.
John 14:26
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 21:25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
2Ti 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
