No, I'm asking you to read about Jesus, the Word, and let God directly speak to you. You and He both have a responsibility.KevinSim wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 4:53 pmMalkie, I don't want anyone to consider that I might be right about what I claim. I want them to consider that they can themselves ask God questions and get answers directly.I am sure MsNobody sincerely thinks God inspired the Bible in such a way that we can conclude that Christianity's doctrines are completely correct. Even so, you are asking me to believe the words of a human being instead of the direct words of God. That's why I don't accept it at face value.malkie wrote:Why question her claim?

The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession... The LORD set his love on you and chose you... The LORD has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery. Deut. 7

I would have to agree that God made a way for us to approach his throne of grace.

Or take one verse out of context.huckelberry wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 7:46 pmFor there our captors required of us songs, and our tormentors mirth.
psalm 137 is an intensely and in its way beautifully expressive statement of real, all to real, experience. It takes a heart of wood to not understand it.

Would you like to give us a lesson on imprecatory psalms and/or prayers?Philo Sofee wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 1:27 pmYeah, I'm with Jersey Girl here Informant. I don't think you grasp the situation in the Psalm at all, and use God as a foil for whatever reason...

Um, stop changing the subject here. You went to Psalms and entirely misinformed us about its meaning and context. We asked about the Psalms. Quit Gish Galloping.

But not an NRSV or an NAB?msnobody wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 3:39 am
Kevin,
Here is your assignment, go read the Bible (the word, about the Word- Jesus), not already knowing what it will say to you, but allow God to speak to you. Ask him to open your eyes and heart to what He’d say to you. Read it like a child. Don’t respond to this post with a question.
I would be happy to send you an ESV, NASB, or NIV, or maybe a KJV study Bible.

Re: Question for KevinSim- biblical gospel articulation request
You mean here?
1 Samuel 6:19 But God struck down some of the inhabitants of Beth Shemesh, putting seventy of them to death because they looked into the ark of the LORD. The people mourned because of the heavy blow the LORD had dealt them.
