What speaks to some, won't speak to others, and that's okay. I think that you do a great job of discussing, and your posts are always encouraging, to me. I love reading your perspective and I get a lot out of your posts. Thanks for all that you've shared.

Of cause Pleroo, most of what speaks to bible fundamentalists spoke to my prejudices and biases too when i was of a similar mind. Everything that you share says you have let go of those former prejudices and biases and moved onto a perspective of God that is viewed through the lens of love and that which builds up and not destroyed. The temple that i worshipped at that stood for so long, there is no longer one stone left that is on another.

See, you have a perspective on various bible themes and passages that speaks to me. You're one of the main reasons I haven't thrown the bible out the car window.

But that couldn't be true, because you put the minds of men (the stones) above the mind of Christ as it is revealed throughout the WHOLE of the word, or didn't you realize the carnal mind, His enemy, is your HEADSTONE that must be rolled away? Peace

How is it that you are so confused that you believe the Father who Jesus referred to as being his source in your mind is the bible ?. Not once did Jesus refer to the scripture as being his source. I would prefer to believe the scriptures than your exaggeration of them to make them fit your belief. Thanks anyway, but no thanks.

Again, He didn't have to because He, unlike you, said the HG had spoken (in the word) all about Him. The Spirit is not divided, but you want it to be so. Peace
