Lord, God Almighty,
You alone, Lord, by Your Spirit alone can we know when to apply which Scripture, how to discern which issue, situation, factor.
How and when to shun !!!TRADITIONS!!! of man and choose Your Word, Your Voice.
Those who seek you persistently, earnestly, whole heartedly—shunning all competing contenders—shall find You and walk in Your will, Oh, Lord. Help us to do that arightly.
You declared, Lord, that your Way was straight and narrow. Please, Lord, prevent us from distractions, from deviating a micrometer from Your Way, from YOU.
Keep us single-mindedly, Lord, focused ON YOU AND YOUR PRIORITIES FOR US moment by moment.
In Jesus’ Name.
Gospel according to Saint John
Chapter 21
Verse 25
25 There are also many other things that Jesus did, but if these were to be described individually, I do not think the whole world would contain the books that would be written.
2nd Thessalonians
Chapter 3
Verses 5-6
5 May the Lord direct your hearts to the love of God and to the endurance of Christ.
6 We instruct you, brothers, in the name of (our) Lord Jesus Christ,to shun any brother who conducts himself in a disorderly way and not according to the tradition they received from us.
2 Thessalonians
Chapter 2
Verses 15-17
15 Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours.
16 May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace,
17 encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word.
So Quix, in your world Saint Paul’s letters aren’t the Inspired Word of God?
Peace :)
