If one does not understand what I wrote.. it might be that they are spiritually blind
...OR...it might mean that someone else suffers from psychological projection...supreme ignorance...or self-righteousness.
May Christ, our Savior, grant us ALL ... HIS wisdom and insight.
This is really an interesting comment.
Look at the following seven words – what do they mean?
I didn't say she stole my money.
I didn't say she stole my money - someone else said it
I didn't say she stole my money - I sent the report in an email
I didn't say she stole my money - I only implied it
I didn't say she stole my money - I said someone did, not necessarily her
I didn't say she stole my money - I considered it borrowed, even though she didn't ask
I didn't say she stole my money - only that she stole money
I didn't say she stole my money - she stole stuff which cost me money to replace
Seven words, seven different meanings. And people will bet their eternal salvation on the belief they get the words of Scripture correct every time, as in “This is my Body.”
And all this and the fact:
1) Jesus NEVER gave instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book.
2) Other than the specific command to John to pen the Revelation, Jesus never told His apostles to write anything down and compile it into an authoritative book.
3) Nowhere in the New Testament do the apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book.
4) The Bible does not have an inspired and infallible list of books that should belong in the Bible. Where did the table of contents come from?
