Never mind. Asked and answered.
Too bad.
Too bad.
The more I study and the more I pray, the more is revealed. This has been a 34 year search. I keep finding more and more gems in His word. What is fascinating is how often I listen/read a part of the bible that I never used to get and it is suddenly crammed with exciting revelation. Seriously.
It really is a lifetime search.
A pastor once told me that the more a person knows about the bible, the less certain they are about peripheral issues. The people that are POSITIVE about things that the bible is not all that clear on are the dogmatists you really need to watch out for.
It’s interesting how ideas change when we throw away gifted pastor-teachers,in-depth research from gifted teachers of the past (commentaries), the original languages, Hebrew idioms, and historic context, I can actually derive God’s guidance on the NFL playoffs. It’s quite amazing!!! And I impress myself at how I’ve grown as a Christian too!!!!!
