So, a deer slayer huh? I loved bow hunting for several years...especially 'spot and stalk'. So, 'last day man', did you punch your tag? Or did your
chip get cracked? I ask because I've never seen a '
chip rip'...a potato maybe, but let's not debate your 'wrong thinking' there too.
2 Timothy 2:15 is what led me to correctly divide the Word and see that Heb 1 where
you obviously are lost friend.[/quote]
Well, I won't give you a star for being a good shepherd to start with either. Got correctly 'discern' that a
sheep's lost, or you're going to waste a lot of time 'thinking you're right'.
As I figured, a 'not so worthy' view , since it's a mile off. Though you do get credit for it being a 'deeper thinker' POV. And I say "deeper" when compared to all the jail ministry arguers I dealt with. Those who had nothing to do, with their jail house conversions, other than read their bibles all day every day, in order to 'argue with every other guy who also studied their bibles to win a doctrinal POV. Thereby 'proving' to God how hard you studied the bible. Ends up in a gospel of TALK instead of one revealing a Christlike WALK.
But applying a 'spiritual minded' view to such 'carnal minded' doctrines, brings a whole new light to this totally abused verse.
2TI 2:15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.
And I will start by do an etymological study of the word of "approved". A word which most nominal thinkers means a 'pat on the back from God'....NOT! It is a Greek word which 'by definition' deals with the ability to experientially test the authenticity of coin money. A modern day illustrative example is that definition is that of a miner 'biting a gold coin' or 'proofing a gold coin' to test it is real. And "rightly handling the word of TRUTH", means if you say "I'm a Christian and have the fruit of the Spirit" then when someone steps on you, you should crush like a worm even as the messianic psalm of Jesus declares.
PSA 22:6 But I am a worm, and no man; scorned by men, and despised by the people.
7 All who see me mock at me, they make mouths at me, they wag their heads;
8 "He committed his cause to the LORD; let him deliver him, let him rescue him, for he delights in him!"
But rather than 'showing yourself approved/genuine' concerning 'the word of truth'....you instead do like so many Christians, who when they are stepped on for 'their faith', they don't crush....they instead strike back and BITE, just like the snake they are truly 'proofing' themselves to be.
Read 'my scriptural' teaching in the verses whole biblical context and you will see your Baptist view is just as Holy Ghost wrong as the jailhouse POV.
Totally agree, but this is totally irrelevant to the verse and it's context. So, deer slayer (I hope) how did my turn 'spin' for you?[/QUOTE]
Good morning friend.
No I was hoping to get the big un I saw back in Nov. I have 4 in the freezer so I don't need anymore meat anyway but I did see a Fox and a Bobcat and a huge flock of cardinals though, So I enjoyed God's creation and had a great day.
First off Know that I am a hillbilly so the way I talk is different than most.
I also do not pretend to be smart. I am a lot like Forrest Gump, I am not a smart man, But I know what love is.
Now to our little discussion, Them sure is pretty words, However I didn't really see anything that would persuade me either way.
Lol, Many people don't like the word dispensation but it is simply a period of time in which we measure. Ie: Correctly divide the Word.
Using your definition is fine as it is just proof testing.
I agree
Moses had the law and John came in baptising for repentance, Both of these were pointing to the ONE who would fulfill all the law and prophets. [That is Jesus Christ in case your wondering
]
What do you mean that we are not saved by grace through faith???? Eph 2:8-9 would seem to refute you here little buddy
The gospel is the good news and do you know what that good news is? it lies in 1 Cor 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
Baptist view is Holy Ghosh wrong... Lol Friend when you climb the mountain of truth, You will find Baptist sitting there. "Probably gathered around the buffet"
I need coffee so I will send this for now TOUCHE
