I start by acknowledging there is one truth and one truth only, and that everything comes from God, including my ability to make that statement.
"For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?" -- 1 Corinthians 4:7
From there I look to Scripture...
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 3:14-17"But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;
If people disagree with that, they are disagreeing with God's word. It's their loss. My job is to preach the truth of Christ risen to all nations and races and then to trust that all with ears to hear and eyes to see and a new heart given by God alone, according to His mercy, will hear and see and understand and believe.
Not one of God's sheep will be lost. The rest are heading for the cliffs at lightening speed. Nothing I can say will stop them.
Then shall it be for a man to burn: for he will take thereof, and warm himself; yea, he kindleth it, and baketh bread; yea, he maketh a god, and worshippeth it; he maketh it a graven image, and falleth down thereto. He burneth part thereof in the fire; with part thereof he eateth flesh; he roasteth roast, and is satisfied: yea, he warmeth himself, and saith, Aha, I am warm, I have seen the fire: And the residue thereof he maketh a god, even his graven image: he falleth down unto it, and worshippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and saith, Deliver me; for thou art my god. They have not known nor understood: for he hath shut their eyes, that they cannot see; and their hearts, that they cannot understand. And none considereth in his heart, neither is there knowledge nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; yea, also I have baked bread upon the coals thereof; I have roasted flesh, and eaten it: and shall I make the residue thereof an abomination? shall I fall down to the stock of a tree? He feedeth on ashes: a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?" -- Isaiah 44:-20"He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the cypress and the oak, which he strengtheneth for himself among the trees of the forest: he planteth an ash, and the rain doth nourish it.
It's not scripture they disagree with of course. It's what you make of it. You do see this difference, don't you?
What if they tell you that you're disagreeing with God's word in your beliefs from scripture?
"If people disagree with that, they are disagreeing with God's word. It's their loss. My job is to preach the truth of Christ risen to all nations and races and then to trust that all with ears to hear and eyes to see and a new heart given by God alone, according to His mercy, will hear and see and understand and believe."
My heavens, DrE, are you the Pope?
