Don`t ya just hate it when.....


Hi there Friends n Visitors,

As the headin says, Don`t ya hate it when a right clever dick trys t belittle ya coz u don`t know it all. I`ve never pretended to know much at all about The Bible n made no secret of it. Tday at church (yeah, at church) i was cornered (is the best way t discribe it) by a woman who said that i shouldn`t be askin questions to the minister about certain parts of The Bible, i should go home n read it myself. "You`ll never know anything if you ask others" she said. Blummin cheek. I don`t feel it wrong in the slightest t ask questions be it to the minister, my house group members or in deed you folks on here. I think that it takes other peoples point of views t make ya see something you`ve never seen in The Bible before or t think about it from another perspective. Gracious me, If i couldn`t ask questions i think i`d give up totally on life and Christianity.
In fact i`m gonna ask one now,
Why is it said that when The Lord comes to take us home He`ll take the livin and the dead. Surely the dead r already there aren`t they,(the true believers anyway. If tha not where are they?

Take Care of each other and God Bless you all,

Wendy

Show me the way Sweet JESUS.
Lead and i Will follow.

Wendy, just because this lady told you "you shouldn't" doesn't mean that you "shouldn't". The disciples asked questions to Jesus. Besides, it was none of her business anyway! GBY! LYS!

May God Bless You in ABUNDANCE

Hi Joy,
Hahahahaha. I`m glad you said that. I thought the very same thing, it is none of her business.
God Bless,
Wendy

I would say that BOTH reading the Bible for yourself AND asking other people about things you don't understand are essential for a fuller understanding.

Don't let the bullies put you down Wendy. Keep asking and keep loving those who think it is their business to tell you what to do.

By the way, I agree with Jean's answer to your question. I assume you are reading Thessalonians.

Peter


"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"

2 Timothy 2 v 15

Hi Peter,
Thanks for that. I think a mixture of both is the way t go. If i only read The Bible i`d be confused, umhm. I need t ask questions. N i do try n love those who insist on puttin me down. I`m not in Thessalonians at the moment. It came from the sermon on sunday.
God Bless,
Wendy

Question: Define "right clever dick" for us Americans here.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

At first I thought = man .... but then I said, "No, she said woman". Then I thought = detective .... but then I said, "No, that couldn't be it.

Just trying to figure out that phrase. Don't get mad at me for asking the question. he, he, he.... I like reading your post because I feel like I can hear how you are saying it!!!! ((hugs))

Peace,
Ginny

Hi Jersey,
hahahahaha. Sorry pet, i shouldda thought. Well, a clever dick is somebody (male or female)who always has a clever thing (or atleast that`s what they think)t say about any subject.They usual believe they are right about everything that comes out of their mouths. I think you Americans would call it being a wise guy.
Thanks for askin. there`ll be others who didn`t get what i meant.
God Bless,
Wendy
