I wrote a comment to mjrhealth. He posted while I was writing, and his comments did indeed make my post irrelevant.The Barrd said:Was it ever?

More specifically, in a round about way he admitted he goofed. No shame in that.
Goofed no, just get my letters mixed up.More specifically, in a round about way he admitted he goofed. No shame in that.
Good point.justaname said:God has mercy on whom He chooses. This can easily include babies.
It is always embarrassing to do this when you want people to take you seriously ;)mjrhealth said:Goofed no, just get my letters mixed up.
53 dont know embarresed comes with age.t is always embarrassing to do this when you want people to take you seriousl
53 is not old! You are still a spring chicken.mjrhealth said: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:About as far as I got. You know those emails you get with teh mixed up letters in teh words. i have no problem reading them, so you can imagine how hard it is to proofe read. i have to do it 20 min later when its not fresh or I just read what i think i wrote. Keyboard dysleaxia, my fingers work faster than my brain
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:I would never have guessed that you didn't finish high school, Stan.
At 62, I am not easily embarrassed at all, but we ALL have a responsibility to "RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH".mjrhealth said:53 dont know embarresed comes with age.

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 ,"RIGHTLY DIVIDE THE WORD OF TRUTH".
If they did there would be no need for christan forums.Don't wrongly assume people do not lean on Jesus and the Holy Spirit for their understanding and knowledge.
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: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".

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.
As I said so few will go to Him.Your POV is designed to release yourself from being accountable for your words by saying GOD TOLD ME.
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: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.
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: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.
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: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 ,

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:As I said so few will go to Him.

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: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.
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.
Oh Stan you do get so angry.;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!
