We have many folks here who preach and teach. They are tenacious in their beliefs, often debasing and maligning others who believe differently. All have the same rallying cry - "READ THE SCRIPTURES!"

Does anyone else see a problem here? If we are all reading the Scriptures, and we can disagree so much on what they mean and what to follow and what is TRUE...then there is no disputing the fact that many of us are wrong.

I can see it now, everyone sitting at their screen saying "You go girl! Tell those OTHER people they are wrong!"

Fact is, people, when we have two differing beliefs, at least one of them HAS to be wrong. Lets face it, they cannot BOTH be right. That means one person, who believes in what they are saying with their whole heart and soul -

IS WRONG.

I am not saying who is wrong and who is right (I certainly dont know!) but they cant both be right... So for those of you out there who feel you have all the answers and have cornered the market on Holy Spirit discernment and scriptural knowledge, I would just remember - some of you are wrong.

I heard a preacher say once that even the most stringent "scripture followers" have in some way manufactured a truth to fit their own belief system.

Continually pray to the Holy Spirit for discernment and for Him to open your eyes to His truth.

I wish you could have heard the message at my church this morning. Pastor Willy (Dr. William Rice) was talking about car repair. huh?... you might say. Well, maybe you should hear it yourself. at calvary baptist dott org However, today's sermon will not be online until the end of the week. Don't know why it takes so long, but trust me it's worth it.

Never said who - I dont know who.

But if two teachings are opposite, at least one is wrong. And someone is deceived.

Scriptures are often not given on many who claim to have truth. Gods word is truth and every ones elses opinion,that contradictits it is a lie....those who undermine sola scriptura in favor of the doctrines of men are in for a big surprise come eternity.

Romans 3

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just.

What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;

10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.

They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

Destruction and misery are in their ways:

And the way of peace have they not known:

There is no fear of God before their eyes.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Jesus is the law!!!!!!!!! He lives and reigns in his people by the holy Ghost!!!

I feel the same way. What bothers me is: If a had more knowledge than I have now and feel as great as I do in Love with Christ. Wouldnt I be happier and even slower to anger...slower to fire off the expletive deletives? I think I would be whether they agreed with me or not....Being angry is such a waste of time especially if you dwell on it....I have some Spiritual maturity and am constantly working on more..God Bless all of you.

I agree Alan. Seems to me that the more knowledge, the more LIKE Christ we would be.
