Commentary
Although
the Word of God is complete and cannot
be added to nor subtracted from, the
Holy Spirit continues to inspire and
reveal more and deeper understandings
about the scriptures themselves. God
receives us by faith and desires our
deepest affections and devotion to
Him. We can all gain valuable insights
from the shared experiences and
testimonies of other believers. And we
can trust the Holy Spirit to guide us
into God's truth (John 16:13).
Context
We
can freely share what we believe God
has revealed to us. Even though we may
have different opinions on doctrines
and traditions, we are still all one
family in Jesus Christ. As James
wrote; "Whatever is not of faith is
sin," you are responsible to be true
to what you believe. Everyone else has
the same requirement. So if you
believe a particular activity is
sinful, then to you it is sin.
However, be careful not to insist that
everyone must believe exactly as you
do. The UNITY we have across the
divide of numerous Christian
denominations is saving faith in Jesus
Christ as the Only Begotten Son of God
whose death on the Cross has redeemed
us and reconciled us to God...
Mutual Goal:
Our
hope is that by sharing together on
this forum, we can each find a more
deeply satisfying relationship with
God and a love which compels those who
are not yet "born again" of the Spirit
of God to asks us about the hope they
see in us. You may take away much or
little, but you can certainly find
something of value which accrues to
your own transformation as Paul writes
about in Romans chapter 12. And by
Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 13, let
us do all things in the spirit of
God's love for all mankind.
