Its been said on here that if you have absolute knowledge of Christ as Lord and savior then you should be able to discern all of the other things in the Bible to know absolute Biblical truth (or more accurately decide that the poster is "right") Does this mean that those of lower intelligence to the accuser do not secure their place in Heaven with our Lord and saviour based on their childlike faith... are they accountable to knowledge beyond their mental capability? We are all wired differently. What about deception? If we, after receiving Jesus as our Lord and risen saviour, with an honest and open heart seek the Lord and his truth to the best of our individual abilities shouldnt that be enough? WHAT if someone else with an open heart seeking God tells us a lie in scripture because they've misread the Bible or had the wrong translation and in our humanity we wrongfully believe it. I honestly think that each person is wired differently and has a heart for different matters with respect to our walk with the Lord. Personally my heart is heavy for EVERY SINGLE lost soul in my life. I want to seek the truth but am not absolutely sure that what I believe is totally correct. Soooo... if we read, pray for the Lord to give discernment through the Holy Spirit dont we in receiving the blood of the Lamb secure our place in Heaven? Or are those of lower intelligence because they lack certain biblical deciphering skills sent to hell and only the smart ones who can adequately debate Christ going to Heaven. I am blessed to be able to articulate my thoughts, I however lack concentration to take multiple passages and properly compare them in a way that make sence. So I read the word and pray for understanding as I receive the word. I also have trouble with my memory so I'm unable to recall scripture in alot of cases unless i have time to go through my Bible to find where its bookmarked. My bible is full of bookmarks. Anyway I just thought i'd throw this out there to see what people have to say. Does it seem that in these forums we are held to a VERY VERY high standard that may have some afraid to post because of the righteous rebuke that inevitably follows. I've considered only posting in the fun / family forums and perhaps I should go with this, because very often I leave here feeling extream sadness and feeling like i've absolutely failed the Lord and I didnt come here to get discouraged in my faith... on the contrary.
