This was addressed in the Bitter/Sweets before, and it will be addressed again, later on in Bittersweet Refinements.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-6635504155017241772009-02-16T10:04:00.000-06:002009-02-16T10:04:00.000-06:00The acceptance of God is and will forever be about...The acceptance of God is and will forever be about relationship. Man has tried to place Him inside the box of Religion, a place that fits neatly within our limited understanding. The problem for us lies in our resistance to God being more than we can ever understand. It was said by a teacher once to his student that although he had taught all that the student knew, he still hadn’t taught all that he himself knew. What is revealed by God to man is done in order to develop understanding and foster faith. This builds and further develops the relationship. As faith in God is strengthened new revelation can be given. Paul said plainly that he had to give them milk because they were not ready for meat. Jesus in explaining the parables to His disciples also said that it was given to them to understand as compared to the understanding of the average listener. In all cases Christian Religion falls under one universal instruction for all… <BR/><BR/>2 Timothy 2:15 (NIV) Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth. <BR/><BR/>The King James used the word study, but still it is the Word of God; His voice to us that is the subject in question.<BR/><BR/>2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, <BR/><BR/>Mans attention and focus, should be in the Word first. The Priest, Preacher, Minister, and who ever else comes along through Religion, is only given to be an aid in rightly handling the same Word. At no time should they be a substitute or followed instead.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852203551942669653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-88880258050720971212009-02-16T10:01:00.000-06:002009-02-16T10:01:00.000-06:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852203551942669653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-48751330226748864562009-01-31T04:34:00.000-06:002009-01-31T04:34:00.000-06:00There is, my dear Billy, but it all depends upon w...There is, my dear Billy, but it all depends upon what He wants to accompish in and through someone that determines when, and to what extent, He will reveal Himself to someone. Now, all whom He has already revealed Himself to are supposed to be helping those whom He has not yet to accept what He actually says is absolutely true about Himself, but the sad fact is that this has been made all the more difficult in most cases.<BR/><BR/>Proof of just how deluded far too many are can be found in the fact that they do not see a problem with there being so many different versions of the Truth. For if it all comes from the same Source, which is He Himself with His Holy Scriptures serving as written confimation, then how can there be so many different "beliefs?" So, why aren't there more desperately trying be more like-minded instead of being content to just believe as they do?<BR/><BR/>Be assured that He is well able to overcome it all. For no one will be able to honestly say that they did not understand everything that He wanted them to, which is not the same for all, come Judgment Day, but it is still such an abominable shame that so many would rather have faith in their traditions than humbly accept what He would have them to.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349087080262856079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6794620494458886025.post-69456841640988050222009-01-30T15:12:00.000-06:002009-01-30T15:12:00.000-06:00Hi FishHawk,One of the problems I have with Christ...Hi FishHawk,<BR/><BR/>One of the problems I have with Christianity is that so many wildly conflicting views are convinced they are right.
