we do not reject the Word of God, we do reject your ( wrong ) interpretation of it.
You and I explore our differences. I know from past experiences it takes a long time to
see another's mindset and influences. Some hate this exposure, like it is taking away the
ability to criticise without exposure.
The humerous side of our frameworks, is ofcourse believing one set of ideas, excludes another
and each group believe they are "right" and the otherside "wrong". It is interesting you feel you
need to emphasis this.
In the extreme God is right and we either walk in His ways or are wrong and sinful.
He is willing for us to learn His ways and walk as best we can.
So if you want to love and help me, you need to show me where I am wrong.
If in reality you are just reflecting your heart condition through your theology, then
it would explain why you actually have no argument, because you can only justify your
stand by adding an interpretation to words that are not their.
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that
we might die to sins and
live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”
1 Peter 2:24
Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “
the righteous will live by faith.”
Gal 3:11
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to
put on the new self, created to be
like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Eph 2:22-24
You are witnesses, and so is God, of how
holy, righteous and
blameless we were among you who believed.
1 Thess 2:10
So walking like Christ is our goal, to walk in His footsteps.
To be able to do this we will need the mind and heart of Christ.
We will have to focus our minds differently, what we value and what
we reject will have to change, how we look at others, what we regard
as a blessing and what we regard as bad behaviour.
Most of all we will need an open loving heart. To take blows and bear
the pain and then forgive those who inflict injury without knowing why.
Glory to Christ, this is our calling.
I am sure this is too far from where you are to register, but to the brethren
it will help.
