You make a good point Jeff.
okay, for clarity, we ,,,, "we" who are abiding in yahshua hamashiach are not supposed to "make good points" (in so many ways this is important, that i didn't even realize until i was halfway through typing the first part of this sentence... i.e. revelation, literally, while abiding)....
look in the NT letters, and the GOSPEL, and the TORAH >>> please show me where, any where that God, Jesus, Moses, ..... *(see footnote) , Paul, Simon Peter(the small pebble), John the Apostle, or anyone else said "that's a good point"....
*okay, Moses might have told Jethro that he made a good point(or had a good point)... or 'that's good advice' (Moses did as Jethro suggested)....
SUBJECT to YAHWEH.... HIS SOVEREIGNTY. ah ha ! that's it ! subject to JESUS CHRIST. no thought or imagination or dream or opinion or 'point' outside of HIM. all in all in HIM according to HIS WORD....
emphatically, because a lot of posts opinions points and challenges are not of or from or in line with HIM.
most simply, "let every word and action be as from the Father in heaven" (it is written, somewhere)
same as Jesus. He did nothing of or for Himself.
that's why so few follow Him. they don't want to give up getting and doing and having for themselves.
yes, this is a little bit of a discourse, subject to Yahweh's Sovereignty and Yahshua as a source, and
will be as needed in His Plan clarified for those who are seeking Him, if there is anyone doing so; Yahweh willing....
