We are not to judge what is fake and what is not.
Hi! Thanks for your input, and your site work! Disagreement between believers, regardless of what they know, is common because we all vary in our understanding. But the majority of the time there is agreement in most Biblical issues (esp. the salvation essentials, e.g. faith in Christ's birth as the Son of God, atonement and resurrection, etc.). Concerning the Bible commentator society, I find the least disagreement in their explanations, because each truth has only one meaning and if you take a subject to the maximum of what can be known of it there will only be a difference in the way it is explained (a matter only of semantics), but results with the same understanding of it.
It's not that they are confusing. It's the simple fact that they are not the definitive source of knowledge. They're just plain wrong in these doctrinal systems they've built (speaking generally of all theologians, of course).
I assumed I am talking to "Christians". This is the Theology section and not the meet and greet section. I thought I could talk about the deep mysteries that have been revealed in Christ. I'm not discouraging to live righteously, I'm encouraging Christians to let Christ do his righteousness through us.
This is what BB needs to be told.
I have not seen him justify living in sin. I am seeing him admit he is a sinner which we ALL need to get real about ourselves. The only thing I am having a problem with what he is saying is the confessing our sin, cause that is how he purifies us. But then again it goes on to say this: 1 John 2:1 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense - Jesus Christ
True, the sole source of understanding the Word of God is the Holy Spirit (1Co 2:13), He being the Author of the Word of God (2Ti 3:16; 2Pe 1:20, 21). The fact that man can never be the determining factor of understanding God's Word is why it requires the Spirit teach it, so man can teach what He teaches. All believers receive a certain amount of understanding from the Spirit, and it's in a degree that leads to requiring seeking Him for increasing understanding. Thus I believe the more one seeks to walk in His love to others (esp. other believers - Gal 6:10, which is the definitive telltale of a professing Christian - Jhn 13:35), the more He gives them to understand His Word, because manifest His love is the purpose of His Word.
I'm simply saying they understand the Word more than most Bible studying believers. It's only common sense to reason that the more time, prayer and practical application given to the study of God's Word, the more you will understand (all students being equally sincere and genuine in seeking only truth).
"Wisdom is proved right by all her children..." - Luke 7:35
The proof is in the puddin'.
that all depends on what type judging, isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
once again this depends on what it is galatians 6:1 paul had tell peter he was wrong Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. paul had to tell peter he was wrong. correction in love saturated in much prayer. seeking the holy spirit give the right words to say.
