"To be clear, the intent here not being to convince, persuade or intimidate
others, but to simply share from a life bound to a spiritual aspect, through
the Holy Spirit, as personal experience being acquired, and not related to
intellectual 'thinking', as the 'man mind' too often fools ones own well being.
With stubbornness and selfishness, the spiritual path will not be attainable."

"I have learned, the more I share through guidance of the Holy Spirit,
my spiritual faith grows, and this leaves a peace and well being, knowing
the power of God's 'presence', is possible through the Holy Spirit, within."
'Praise God'

"And, I have learned from observation, the more one attempts to explain Scripture,
the more many become confused and bewildered. Life, being the subject of the objective
as a whole. God's 'principles' of life are to be acted upon, and how ones life is changed for the
better by applying the 'principles'. Mysteries and unknowns are many. It would appear,
many lives are unchanged, simply by the character of attempting to explain that which
cannot be explained, which further promotes great discord."

"Warnings of four sources of discord, (“But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies,
dissensions, and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.”).
Here, for your consideration, are four sources of disunity that may just exist in your
church, and social media."
~Foolish Controversies. God calls us to avoid foolish controversies. It’s not that we need
to shy away from engaging in all controversy but that we must not become enamored with
foolish ones. Foolish controversies are those that arise when we speculate about the
truth rather than depend on what God has clearly declared to be true. According to 1
Timothy 6:3, such controversies end up breeding envy, dissension, slander, and other
ugly fruit. This is theology that obsesses with molehills while overlooking the mountains.
We need to be careful not to succumb to such controversial silliness and perhaps not
even bother engaging it lest we end up wasting precious time.
~Genealogies. According to George Knight, genealogies are “speculations about the origins
and descendants of persons which are erroneously thought to have religious significance.”
This is coming up with novel interpretations of genealogies and perhaps even fabricating
allegorical interpretations of them. It is reading far too much into simple lists of names.
While this may not be a major source of conflict today, we might broaden it to include
the kind of speculative theology through which we take things that are outside of the
Bible and give them both the authority and prominence of the Bible. This always breeds
division because instead of being unified over matters of first importance, we become
divided over matters of personal preference.
~Dissensions. Dissension is strife, it’s contention, it’s an argument that leads to a falling
out, it’s selfishness instead of love. It’s getting into squabbles over matters of faith and
doctrine whether they are big or small, major or minor. It’s thinking the worst of people
instead of the best, permitting division instead of pursuing agreement. It’s a broad
category that includes all kinds of pointless disagreements.
~Quarrels about the law. These are your classic Bible fights, your squabbles about the
extent of the law in the Christian life. In Paul’s context he is writing about the transition
from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant and the transformation in issues such as
sabbath and dietary restrictions. He teaches that when we encounter such issues, each
of us will give an account to God and, therefore, each of us must be convinced in our own
mind. Then he insists that we refuse to despise or pass judgment on those who come to
other conclusions. Whatever the case, we must avoid division over such issues. We can
discuss them, but we must not separate over them.
( Each of these is a waste of time. Each of these is an unfitting pursuit for the
Christian. Each of these threatens to undermine the unity of the church and the love
between believers. It has been said, “Arguing theology, doctrine, or morality with those
who distort or disregard God’s Word is unavoidably fruitless.” )
( ponder this article carefully )

"It seems to hold true, many times...that often we wait till our lives become
overwhelmed with troublesome issues, and only then begin to look to God,
hoping for a reprieve...experience is a good teacher, so long as we learn something
of value...Amen!
I learned that my problem was... myself, and that I needed to change my attitude and behavior,
this being the start of my spiritual journey, now over two decades ago...Praise God!
And, I have learned one important thing, each day, with perseverance, to pray and to know,
without the 'awareness' of the Holy Spirit, solely on my own, I would never overcome my issues.
To be crystal clear, what works for one, may not work for someone else. I have learned,
the less I clutter my mind, the more I can focus on striving to follow God's 'principles' of life.
And, this always leaves the main objective, to strive to be a better me. Thank God, this has
made a great improvement on my family life, and better to manage all my affairs, in all
my coming and going...believe it...and it works, so long as I work at it...each day."
'Praise God'

How amazing is that, that only someone who wants to know God intimately is the someone that will eventually be able to understand the parables in more detail. This shows us that truly the bible is Gods word.

"I have learned over the years, how important it is to strive each and every
day to rest in the Lord, which simply means to take the time to bring to remembrance
of the 'principles' of life. And in doing so, I have learned different challenges require
a different 'principle' to apply in my effort to confront whatever challenge is before me.
I can attest to the fact that this has truly helped me in many situations over the years...believe it!
I encourage all that come close by, to get a grip on the profound importance of applying
God's 'principles' of life, in ones own life. And to know this shall far exceed anything else
under the sun...whatsoever. And make no mistake, one must learn to apply the instructions
of the 'teachings' in any hope of passing the 'test' of life...here in the now.
And, it is said to be a disloyalty unto God, to be pretentious merely for self recognition,
though being vacant of God's 'inspiration' in ones own personal life testimony.
It should be clearly understood...Born Again has to be lived. Life takes on a renewed
perspective of all things, starting with...self, and this being the all, of all else.
Contemptuous arrogance along with any act of sowing discord, confusion or to bring cause of
division, shall be considered an act of the adversary...that of being without spiritual discipline,
and has this too, not been told of through the inspiration of the Divine Word...be away from the adversary.
To be crystal clear, it is not the intention to judge nor offend, but to share as the heading of
this thread so depicts...
I Am to share my love of God's love...I came...I came to...I came to believe...
God is!....Praise God...I'M Alive...I'M Alive...I'M Alive.
'Praise God'
