Mid Acts, Pauline, Dispy to the max!
JWhalen so aptly said:
Couldn't have said it better myself!! Excellent.
AND nobody says it better than GOD!!!!
I am not on these boards to "duel", but to argue(which is good!) and persuade, and yes, debate. After all, this is "serious business"-eternal souls are at stake. I cannot speak for others, but my motivation is not to "win" a debate, but to convey/communicate the truth of the Holy Bible rightly divided.. I hope you understand, that, it would be "easy", and "comfortable", to just sit back in my "Eazy Boy recliner", smile, wink, and embrace the attitude "So what, that is just his opinion. I'm saved, why should I subject myself to the criticism that inevitably results from such an endevour?"
And my answer: I have no choice, for I am an "...ambassador for Christ..."(2 Cor. 5:20), and thus have been given a charge, and have been given the honor, of representing the true "Commander-In-Chief", the Lord Jesus Christ in "...the ministry of reconciliation..."(2 Cor. 5:18) in "enemy territory", which is "...this present evil world..."(Galatians 1:4). And included in this charge is the LORD God's desire for you to see the mystery:
"And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery(emphasis mine), which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ...." Ephesians 3:9
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth"(emphasis mine). 1 Timothy 2:3,4 The "knowledge of the truth", here, in the context of the passage, is knowing the mystery.
Couldn't have said it better myself!! Excellent.
