a couple unfinished thoughts:
We can discuss and debate. or we /could/, but where is it going to lead us? we are not wise.
~Lord bless us with wisdom.~
Without a wise man in the crowd, we will find ourselves confused. (note: dont take this too far.)
How often do we stop and listen to everything a wise man has to say, or even a fool, take it all to heart and believe it? Is this not like setting up false gods?
psalm 119:9
"How can a young man keep his way pure?
By living according to Your word."
God is the Truth. the Word is His. Therefore it is truth. Untouched by human flaw.
~He said it. I believe it.~
Why make evil available to yourself out of free will?
Why accept unnecessary burdens?
Why search out sin, wrong, hate, evil the doings of the devil?
And Why invite others along for the ride?
Hebrews 11:1
"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see."
feel the need for a miracle?
- this life, it's not all about miracles
- can you believe without seeing?
john 20:25, 29
25 - "So the other disciples told him, 'We have seen the Lord!' But he said to them, 'Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.' "
29 - "Then Jesus told him, 'Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.' "
- and often we don't see the miracles, or they're not "big enough", up to our standards
psalm 119:18
"Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in Your law."
