Hi Seeking.
You said:
Quote It allows me to put forth my opinions far more eloquently than I ever could in person, Some people express themself better in talking, some people express themself better on “paper”.
i would express myself better on the Computer, if I was a super fast typer but I'm not. So when I try to write my thoughts it's so SLOW and that IS an issue for me, because my thoughts are FAST!
And I've forgotten what I was thinking by the time I'm up to the second line!
But I know what you mean, Seeking.
Quote (like Paul “my speech and delivery are unimpressive”) I think you do a GREAT job. You express yourself clearly and it's easy to understand.
Quote 2 Peter 1:5 Because you have these blessings, do all you can to add to your life these things: to your faith add goodness; to your goodness add knowledge; 6 to your knowledge add self-control; to your self-control add patience; to your patience add devotion to God; 7 to your devotion add kindness toward your brothers and sisters in Christ, and to this kindness add love. 8 If all these things are in you and growing, you will never fail to be useful to God. You will produce the kind of fruit that should come from your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But those who don’t grow in these blessings are blind. They cannot see clearly what they have. They have forgotten that they were cleansed from their past sins. 10 My brothers and sisters, God called you and chose you to be his. Do your best to live in a way that shows you really are God’s called and chosen people. If you do all this, you will never fall. 11 And you will be given a very great welcome into the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, a kingdom that never ends.
We should look to see if the fruits are progressively growing, it is a process and we don't all start at the same level with some being fairly new to the process. I believe this was meant to guide us as we seek truth to check the level of “stock” we should put into a teaching, if they haven't reached at least verse 6 (above scripture) then we should not listen at all, if they have reached all the way to verse 8 (above scripture), then we should listen carefully. But it is always up to us to seek truth so we may become; the called, the chosen and the faithful.
Those are great Scriptures.
Thanks for sharing them.Quote (seekingtruth @ Feb. 29 2012,01:19) shimmer,
Sorry but I started the above post before all the other posts on this page, it takes me a while to get down what I want to say, I did not mean to keep belaboring the point.Wm
BTW Thank you for the apology, it is of course accepted
