Discussions, rebuttals, better arguments. None of it is relevant to my ministry of salvation and sanctification through Christ, but it sure does boost my prideful egoistic reservoir. The Word says what it says. If you are perhaps mistaken and in danger of committing sin or teaching false word, I then have an obligation to give a defense of the faith. But to enter into idle prattle would make me more than the fool’s fool. I did not create the word, I did not inspire the Word, I did nothing to deserve its wisdom, instruction or invitation to glory. I cannot add to the Word, I dare not take away from the Word, in fact I would argue against my interpretation having any good influence upon its impact in your life. Now if I may softly give example, metaphor or explanation for a passage with which you have struggle, then this is a bon voyage. However, I have no desire, purpose or pleasure in counting myself theologically capable in disproving any theory for which Almighty God, has not provided clear understanding. If He left it vague, I accept His intention and quietly rest in the discomfort He created by leaving it unexplained, for this too may prompt my edification.
I do not crave that which I do not have or have yet to be given. I do not have things that you may crave so that I may do my utter best to aid in your confident perambulation. The fact that you have had your curiosity pricked by some theoretical complication within Christianity calls me to victory. For you have found something worthy of meditation, and perhaps been provided by God a purpose worthy of life expenditure. I cannot wholly evaluate your behavior with interest of determination or commentary. We often do just exactly what must be done to free ourselves from an unsavory circumstance or get our selves back on the skinny path. However, often I find that when action is required on my part to rectify a circumstance it is most likely my poor prior decision that got me into the circumstance originally. Just as with any other Christian brother throughout history. I count myself among them who always prospered in discernment when I went to God prior to decision sponsored action. I pray for your fascination, your meditation and your edification through Christ.
Please do not seek my counsel, permission, approval or disapproval with ideas that God has not specifically defined within His Gospel. I neither wish to enhance or rectify your thinking in these areas. If the Holy Spirit does choose to give you insightful guidance for this instance, please forgive my lack of curiosity. For if He has spoken directly to you regarding that which He left unexplained to all, then perhaps this edification is for you alone, or better yet to be given to the Church collective. God, thankfully for all concerned, did not appoint me judge. I want no authority other than that He has bestowed upon me regarding taking back land in His name and the power of Gospel witness. I love Him and I love you and for me that is enough.
If a man is truly saved then he will bear the kind of fruit indicative of Grace’s presence. If a man who claims to have been saved indulges in sexual, carnal or murderous activity repeatedly there must be consequence resulting in change of the original pronouncement of baptism by Holy Spirit. A perfect sacrifice was not freely given so that we may continue to defile its intention through lascivious action allowing God to become liar by allowing into heaven them who He has repeatedly excluded from the inclusive probability. A saved man does not go on sinning but is transformed to a renewed mind of purposeful action through a conjoined respect and presence caused by God’s Holy Spirit. My God is a God of order, His preaching has absolutes of good and evil and logical impacts for disobedient action. The test of reason cannot be violated by Christians performing repeated, disapproved acts of sinful commission without a serious concern for their original salvation. But this is simple reason on my part any proof must be given you by the Holy Spirit, absent that approval any ideas given on my part are simply opinion and ought not be used in any fashion to disenfranchised the Body of Christ.
