Bible Discussion Thread

Isaiah says "come let us reason together..."

This comment room is a discussion, not a competition; which is a spirit. The opposite of reasoning is dissension.

Let us be spiritual and discerning.

I do not know Hebrew and Greek, and I appreciate those who do. I defer to their competence.

1 Peter 1:22

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:

1 Peter 3:8

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:

Galatians 5:13

For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another.

1 John 3:14

We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

1 Thessalonians 5:25

Brethren, pray for us.

I find it helpful to read Commentaries to see what others thought, on certain passages. In the Book of Genesis, it greatly helps to be studying out of a KJV Bible Study/Reference Bible. The ones with a CENTER OF EACH PAGE reference column.

I pause and read the references to other like references for additional information and prophecies (fulfilled or yet to be fulfilled). It takes inner resolve to do extra studying to see the Whole Picture of a certain event. THEN I ASK the Holy Spirit to teach how it applies to the Church today. I don't buy books written by individuals. We've been given God the Holy Spirit to teach us. That's one of His Ministries to the Body of Christ: teach, reprove, convict, comfort, heal, oil of joy.

God bless us, Mishael
