I wrote a comment to mjrhealth. He posted while I was writing, and his comments did indeed make my post irrelevant.The Barrd said:
More specifically, in a round about way he admitted he goofed. No shame in that.
It is always embarrassing to do this when you want people to take you seriously ;)mjrhealth said:
.No spell check?
53 dont know embarresed comes with age.
Dont care if people take me seriously or not, its Jesus they need to take seriously.
I just wish everyone would run to Him and learn from Him. even He knew they wouldnt.
That is not the problem either. I can read mixed words, most of us can, it is inherent. What I can't do is make something coherent or cohesive that isn't.mjrhealth said:
When I attended, in the late 60s, it was irrelevant to me, and far to easy. I just learned on my own, what I needed to.The Barrd said:
At 62, I am not easily embarrassed at all, but we ALL have a responsibility to "RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH".mjrhealth said:
That also means conveying it in an understandable manner. Don't wrongly assume people do not lean on Jesus and the Holy Spirit for their understanding and knowledge.
Thats why ae are supposed to go to Him because He is the truth, and that is why He went to the father so that He could send us the Holy spirit, so he could teach us the truth and so that "we" wouldnt have to lean on our own understanding, and that is why ,
1Jn_2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Being led by the spirit, everything after His resurection is "Spirit".
If they did there would be no need for christan forums.
As it says " it is by their fruit".
as for my spelling. well I dont go picking on people because of their lack of understanding of the english language which is by far the worst language ever created, neither do I pick on them because of spelling errors. I am not perfect"yet" and have learned to live with that. The company I work for has many nationalities and all our work is proof read as it is design we do. I can live with that.
That is why He sent and we should HAVE the Holy Spirit. For the Christian, the spiritual is directed by the Holy Spirit. It doesn't happen by osmosis, we have to STUDY, just as Paul taught. He should know, He was the foremost of scholars in all the NT.mjrhealth said:
John was addressing people who WERE taught PERSONALLY by Jesus, so please don't misinterpret what is very obvious, otherwise Jesus would not have given the office of TEACHER to us. Eph 4:11.
Your POV is designed to release yourself from being accountable for your words by saying GOD TOLD ME. Sorry that's not how it works, especially on forums. Once you have become established in a local body and grow into a position of respect and favour with God AND man, then you can instruct them. HERE you have to prove yourself otherwise you will be ignored.
I told you 5 times now your problem in coherency and cohesiveness, NOT spelling. Look it up if you don't know what it means.
As I said so few will go to Him.
Mat_11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
Joh 6:48 I am that bread of life.
Joh 6:49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
Joh 6:50 This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
Joh 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
But its OK Stan, I know I cant change a few on this forum, lesson I learnt a long time ago, if Jesus cant convince people of the truth waht hope do we have.
You and I are close to the same age. I also went to school during the late 60s, in a small town in upstate New York.StanJ said:
I got married right out of high school, but years later, I went back and took an Associate's Degree in Law. It was enough to get me a nice job as a Legal Assistant.
But I digress...
I am quite impressed, Stan.
Truly.
Actually God draws men to Jesus and the Holy Spirit shows us the truth once we have been baptised in Him. Ya gotta get the basics down before continuing.mjrhealth said:
How exactly do you GO to Him, and who is Him? All this sounds like to ME is a self righteous/pious evasion of your clear responsibility to STUDY!mjrhealth said:
All this response does is make you judgemental on a Christian forum. I for one assume MOST here know Jesus. What is in doubt is how much of their SELF is involved in their discussions or how much of the Holy Spirits teaching and truth is? IMO, it quickly becomes apparent as to which is which.mjrhealth said:
It would seem, IMO, that YOU are the one wanting people to change and not leaving it up to God. If you were being used of Him you would clearly recognize much more truth than you do. Falling back on self righteous rhetoric doesn't impress me or God.
All my knowledge is mostly self taught. I took a few Bible college course but none I completed as I was raising a family at that time. I also knew quite a bit of federal law because of my profession as a Licenced Customs Broker, which I did for 35 years. Often wrote legal summaries and briefs for client and tribunals.The Barrd said:
In any even I am not trying to impress anyone, as my head will get to big to be effective, but just wanted to show mjrhealth that we should not just plead ignorance when there is no excuse to be so.
Oh Stan you do get so angry.;
Would you like to go back to Saul, you know the one whom you said,"look at Him he was a pharisee" and should I remind you what he thought about it all,
Php 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Him = Jesus, I thought a man with all your comprehension would have figured that out.
Have you ever ascked Jesus a question, would you like to know how He works,
ask Him to show you love, than one day when you are in a shopping center with your trolley full and you see some women with no money to pay for hers, so you do, and so you do without, you just learned love,
Than you have someone who has hrut you really bad, someone really close, whom you could throttle, but Christ than gives you the chance to forgive them, so you do, now you have learned forgivenss and grace,
Than you ask a question on a particular topic, and ten years later you get an answer, why, because He migh need you learn and understand a whole bunch of other things before He can give you that answer,
You desire to get wisdom, that will take time, everything He does is through experience as it i teh only way he can teach us anything,
but if you sit and learn as so many do, filling your hed with what you think is the truth, drawing your own conclusions, than you will become just liek Saul, running around Kliling Christians, you know this bit,
Act_9:4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me?
See Christ cant teach anyman who has already filled Himself,
Should I repeat myself, you know those marshall art movies where the student sits with teh master, and teh master tells him to hold up the glass and he than proceeds to fill it till it overflows, and teh student cant understand, and so teh master says, " that is you, so filled with yourself, than he empties the glass and says, when you become like this, than come to me and I can teach you.
Now look up that word study, I am sure you already have, and ask Jesus what it really means.
God aproves of men because of what Christ did, not because of what we do, everything else is self righteousness. "look at me God, look what I did",
when you come to that place where you realise that evrything you know is wrong and that only he is right, than you are at a place where He can teach you.
Be carefull that you dont become like them, condeming those who dont know fancy words, or have english grammer problems, becuase it Jesus said, that you do to the least of these you do to me. Far better to be like Paul than what he was when he was Saul.;
In all His Love
