Cee, I have abig day today, but, besides that, I really think there is something that was said that upset mari, and, these verses, 3,4, specifically, speak of our necessity to not follow after men's wisdom and desires per EXAMINING us nor are we to even examine ourselves , but God's our emotional, physical, social, etc., examiner of ALL things, which come from where? The heart. Left to our own devices we are not able to cope, we will utterly fail in our wisdom to sustain ourselves. (1 cor. 18-20, read this, Christ peeps )
Anyway, not much else to say, except, maybe, cee, repost verses 1: Cor. 3:18-4:7.
Cee, the Lord leads, it's no problem to stop the study, and, gracious of your heart to ask man if they want you to stop. But it's ironic that these very verses speak so directly to this situation at hand, but YOU follow His Spirit leading you .
Thank you for the sincere comments, psychomommy and ozelly. May God bless you both for following Him, I would answer your 'through faith' are we saved Q, too, but I just won't because all it does is create controversy and God is to work on our hearts, not man, and, last week's discusion, as cee said, became sectarian and man created different denominations, divisions, God allowed it, and, to this day, there is terrible hate of Christian against Christian and then man fails in their foolish ways of folly, even wo their fault, rages against God. This spirit is the nature of man becoming overrun by Satan, this is why, as Scripture states that with Him in us, His Spirit and our spirit are 'one.'
But, this thread is not about this topic here directly so let's you have permission to use my above words if you want to start another thread.
But, yes, cee, the Lord, He alone is to lead, let Him, through prayer now, take you forward, these verses are great knowledge for ALL right now, understanding God's weakness is said mentioned in Scripture but does it really matter because His weakness is STILL greater than ANY man's strength. Be not profess yourself wise, be not the judge of your own character, nor let ANY man judge your words if they be from Him, for God examines, the Lord, He alone will 'bring to light (judgment) the hidden things in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts, and, then each man's praise will come to him from God.' 1 Cor. 4:5b
