God's word says what is says and teaches what it teaches regardless
that doesn't change with Interpretation
arguing about it is part of what CARM is for, no?
yes, talking about these things is what it is for. but God is Light and there is no darkness in Him (He knows the Truth). but with us resides the unknowns, "for now we see through a glass darkly", "we know in part and prophesy in part" I Co. 13: 9,12.
some people will
understand at a
very very low level, and
yet think they know for sure and
without darkness. but unless that person, any person really begins to want to know Truth - over any Indoctrinations and/or Errors of Man/Woman in Thinking on things abut the Bible and God, then that person will remain in darkness to whatever very great degrees or lesser degrees that they are given - by the Laws of God to remain in that darkness.
we cannot know what we are not willing to live... so those who do not seek after spiritual things - but instead seek the Letter - in the which they use to Prove - against their Brothers and Sisters on Earth - that they are right - and their Siblings wrong - do damage to their own spirits - Teaching Themselves - out of Themselves - the letter of the Word - instead of out The Spirit - that can only found by seeking after Spiritual Things - and/or gifted to us by The Spirit - whom He/It chooses to.
but one whose Mind is not prepared to receive Real Truth - Over possible Error or any Error - will not - Receive. or in other words, they are Unable to - because (as many here and elsewhere) they have made themselves into Teachers - instead of Learners (and/or Learners/Teachers), and if what they Teach be too much of the Darkness and without a Mind able to Learn new (to Them) and greater Degrees of Truth - then there can be no progession to their learning - from Darkness/Partial Unknowns - to Light/True, Better Knowledge & Understanding.
and so they will use a place like this, yes - to Argue - for Themselves - and for Their Doctrines. unwilling (or so it can seem) to consider Other Points of View - that may very well - Be More From the Spirit - whereas Their Own Ideas/Doctrines/Teachings can be Very Much of The Darkness - of Unknowns - from Themselves - And from Others Like Them. Not from God or The Spirit - the Spirit which Reveals All Things to - a Spiritual Mind.
