When you witness,give them Jesus.
Not doctrine from knowledge.
Mental files sound to their ears like being told "you are defective,I am not"
Sounds like one of those inseparable things?
I would offer. Not doctrine from dead knowledge. But knowledge like living water falling from or inspired for heaven as the doctrine of God Using living water to represent spirit of knowledge.
Deuteronomy 32:1-3 King James Version (KJV) Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:
A Living knowledge that does not return void of the purpose he sends. We preach Christ not our own selves. He does the teaching and bringing to mind the things he has taught us..
Those who hear mental files rather than the living gospel like those who use words like Bible thumpers. It would seem they do not have ears to hear the grace of the gospel. hearing the word Jesus becomes they say Jesus with every sentence. The gospel must be mixed in.
Isiaiah 28: 9 Whom shall
he teach knowledge? and whom shall
he make to
understand doctrine? them that are weaned
from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
Who has God given understanding to? From the milk of the word teaches us God is gracious They have tasted and believed. Not from those who hear mental files words without meaning rather than the gospel the interpretation of God. We plant and water the seed he does the teaching if there is any growth.
1 Peter 2:2 As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
Titus 2:12 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
Isiaiah 28: 10-14For precept
must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing:
yet they would not hear.But the
word of the Lord was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem
They simply would not settle for all things written in the law and the Prophets .(sola scriptura) But as those in Jerimiah 44. We will not hearken onto the milk of the word but will rather do whatsoever thing our own mouth says (oral traditions) and see absolutely no evil in doing so. Killing the two witnesses. . . the law and the prophets making the word of God without effect.
