Hi, me again. Over the course of the few years I have progressively watched CC and give input where I could I have noticed a remarkable thing. And I at first thought I was being tricked, but it happened so often that I became astounded by it.
A couple of years ago I had a cell group and one of the ladies in the cell was an extreme racist. She wanted to make arguments based on what her father said or what he wrote in a book. And every time I would force her to do the following: Go back to the Bible and make your argument from off there. She would quote for me more and more books. And I would simply take her back and tell her to form her own opinion based on the word and then make her argument herself.
I saw the same thing in CC. People come and they tell you that you are a part of this type of movement and believe and they believe according to that type of movement. And so they would elaborate and speak pages on this forum without saying anything of what they actually believing. And when they get so far as to say what they believe they cannot say why? Now I am up for a good argument as much as the next guy, cause I love reasoning. But there is a difference between reasoning and making statements in the air who have no value to the edification of the Bible or the Christian well being.
I always take it this way. If I want to tell the story of Jesus to a child of 4. I am not going to get some video clip of a sermon or tell him how his idea of what he thinks is right and wrong is completely wrong. Nope. I will start by telling Him about God and then about Adam and Eve and then About How Jesus was born, His purpose and How He died and He was raised from the dead. And I would explain it in the terms that the child can comprehend.
Now being a High school teacher I had the privilege of talking to teenagers. And sometimes they would ask me about healing and I would tell and show them. And not me doing all the healing. Usually God leads me to call one of the youngsters closer show, show him what to do and let him heal the other person. So that they can understand it is not me, but God. And usually the way God leads me to understand how healing works and the way I explain it to them is quite the same. Because God doesn't try to make things difficult. But one has to understand the relationship with Him and How He does things.
