Many “Christians believe it is some type of challenge, when one presents something in which they may not BELIEVE, as though, the sharing of God’s word is to believe different. Are Christians to boast in their knowledge of the word of God? Claiming “I have” for it is not YOU but God who allows one to truly see. Can one understand what another is saying, if they are not bothering to listen to them, simply believing they are correct, and their belief is it? This is Prideful believing one is right not desiring to know what is right. One never knows when God is trying to show them something.
a wise man will listen and increase his learning, and a discerning man will obtain guidance—
The mind of the discerning acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks it.
Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.
Do you not realize that by coming at another with angry spirits can also cause quarreling, even causing your brother, to possibly stumble and become quick with his tongue too. So do not tempt one another rather listen and increase together in learning.
As all in the light are to believe the same. One accord in the word.
1 Corinthians 1:12 What I am saying is this: Each of you says, “I’m with Paul,” or “I’m with Apollos,” or “I’m with Cephas,” or “I’m with Christ.” 13 Is Christ divided?
For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ.
We all can know the same too. Some may have eaten more or simply have been shown by God, for this very purpose. When someone presents something to you and you start feeling emotions of anger, stop and ask yourself why?
1 Timothy 6 gives us some insight; 3. If anyone teaches other doctrine and does not agree with the sound teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ and with the teaching that promotes godliness, 4 he is conceited, understanding nothing, but has a sick interest in disputes and arguments over words. From these come envy, quarreling, slander, evil suspicions, 5 and constant disagreement among people whose minds are depraved and deprived of the truth, who imagine that godliness is a way to material gain. 6 But godliness with contentment is a great gain.
First see if the teaching promotes anything different than what is stated in the word of God.
If one feels anger, simply because one is attempting to bring something to the light showing doctrine through the Word. Those who say otherwise, can surely show through the word, their stance also. If you know the word of God, is there any reason to anger? When one of God’s children states things that are not correct in the word of God, no reason to anger, rather a time to rejoice that through the word they may be shown. Not by demonstrating a teaching of another man, even though the man may be correct. Show through the word of God, scripture. This way there can be no misunderstanding. Always pray before, ever presenting the word of God for guidance. This way you may present in the Spirit. The word of God is not up for interpretation. Because REV Joe Blow stated this is the way, or a link on the Internet says it’s so.
Only by the word of God will we know, God gave us a scroll to eat, as He gave to Ezekiel as the word is the foundation.
Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogant words come out of your mouth, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and actions are weighed by Him.
But they were silent, because on the way they had been arguing with one another about who was the greatest. 35 Sitting down, He called the Twelve and said to them, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Pride is one believing they know more than another, Pride does not care whether one is even correct, Pride says I’m correct and you are not, without listening to another.
It is never prideful, when one is only attempting to bring to the light what can edify another. Is it arguing, when telling His “PEOPLE” of false churches and false doctrine? Are we supposed to be gentle when confronting, what is wrong with His Church? “Awe shucks I guess you just don’t believe” then go about our way? Jesus told the Pharisees, bluntly how wrong they were. Paul told the church of Corinth, that we should all agree in what we say, that there be no division. Jesus, told us how to tell, one is of His elect, recognizing by their fruits. If we see church rivalries, saying we are the only way and I’m with (CHURCH NAME). Are not we all, with Jesus? We are not of a certain NAME but rather Christ, His Church. It is very easy to recognize a false church when they themselves claim they are the only way.
Now more than ever before it is truly, a coming to God time as knowledge is increasing, for the Elects benefit too. Information is now immediate.
Jesus told us how to recognize the endtimes, by the signs we recognize as the birthing pains. We are here. This is the beginning Jesus told us about.
Don’t be condescending to your fellow elect. If a brother or sister attempts to bring something to the light. It is only for the ELECTS sake. Having a discussion about the word of God, is never meant to be an argument, but only an attempt to bring to light the word of God. LISTEN PRAY EAT PROFESS
