I consider the Bible to be the 'Workshop Manual for Christians'. Man has taken God's word and turned it around to suit the 'ear-tickling' exercise it is today. That is not me, so I am saying sorry in advance if I tread on anyone's toes.

Well, if you make a mess, you'll have to clean it up.

Hello Marakorpa, welcome to CChat!
Strong entrance, but it is good to have you here! Nothing wrong with speaking, and wanting to honestly represent the Truth of God's word. I think that is very much where the idea of iron sharpening iron comes from-- we challenge and speak Truth to each other and in turn we both grow stronger. (will make it a point to wear steel-toed boots though, just in case I ran afoul of you! 
) Again, welcome! 
I have run out of mess insurance....I think,
Thanks for the Welcome

Hello Marakorpa, welcome to CChat!
Hard Times
Hard times last longer so it seems
When the miseries of life torment the soul
There appears no hope in your despair
No happiness that will console
And yet, even life's misery has its place
It enhances the simple joy of life
Things we once took for granted
Are manifest when rising from the strife
How much more we appreciate the love
When we have been forsaken
Health after illness, strength when it returns
All the good things there to be taken
Misery and woe are easy to attain
But happiness needs some work
No bird sings if we turn a deaf ear
No light shines if in darkness we lurk
Seek love and you will prosper
Have the strength to survive
Care about yourself, and be cared for
Be thankful that you are at least, alive.
By Me!

Hi marakorpa:
Interesting remark. How do you go about finding God's truth in the Bible? what are your assumptions, previous understandings, preconceptions, enculturation bias, and how do you keep them in check when studying the Bible?
Just curious.
Probably the most workable way is through sincere prayer, don't you?
