Looks like I hit a nerve. We get the long winded version.
The fact that you rely totally on your methods of "study" rather than the Holy Spirit enlightening your understanding is really what this is about. You can be a worker and study, like God's UNtruth, and the foremost results we see come forth are her constant feelings of
being picked on.
Oops, the same exact thing happens with you, Danoh. You are forever expounding on how
you're so misunderstood and picked on. Even in this little diatribe, above, you go out of your way to get someone to join you in your denouncement of what I have said. You require backup, don't you? Daring others to step up lest they look the fool like you claim I am.
How dare I think that God can open my understanding when I trust in Him to do so. How dare I think my personal "study habits" won't bring me all I can possibly glean, and improving those methods of study is not where I should place my trust.
I must need lessons from Danoh, and then I just might have as great an understanding as he does. Really, you never cease to amaze me with your self-importance.
I prefer to trust in what is freely given and taught by the Spirit. He is more trustworthy than thee.
1 Corinthians 2:12-14
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
It isn't my study habits that cause me to remember something I read years ago, and that suddenly enlightens my understanding, it's the Comforter. This isn't from my mind, but from my spirit as it's prompted by the Spirit within.
John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
Just as Paul's spirit was stirred within him by the Holy Spirit, our spirit is stirred by the Holy Spirit when we read the Scripture. This is not left to the human mind, as you would like to think. You can't take credit for the things of God. You can only take credit of those things you might glean from your "methods of study" upon which you rely so heavily.
No, that is not your study habits.
In your case, that is the basis of your error on this.
While what you are talking about is nothing more than the mind's automatic re-membering, re-calling, or re-collecting together once more, various aspects of a thing read or studied, into one sense or picture of them, once more.
That is why the words describing that process are referred to as re-membering, re-collecting, and re-calling - they are describing a do over, a repetition - of bringing together once more into one's consciousness, of all the various, related pieces.
And memory is set off by similarity in context.
Luke 24:4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: 24:5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? 24:6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, 24:7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. 24:8 And they remembered his words, 24:9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
Acts 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.
Similarity in context setting off the re - membering, or bringing back together in one's mind the related memory.
And that is really obvious there, for Peter is actually off in his understanding there - but right so - because things were in transition and that had resulted in some confusion for them that they were trying to make sense of.
The Spirit's leading them unto all truth having begin to leave them in a manner similar to how the Shikinah Glory gradually began to leave all of Israel way back when, with unbelieving Israel's continued unbelief.
These are Disopensational issues your pals should be attempting to help you get straight on - if any of them are straight on it themselves.
Which is the issue of sound study methods, not of some Charismatic superstition.
Those Apostles were not yet sure of what Acts 10 meant. Doesn't appear from that that the Spirit was still guiding them in the way He had prior to that, from Pentecost until the beginnings of these Dispensational changes.
The result being that they merely went along with things, knowing that God knew what He was doing...
Acts 11:17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God? 11:18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life.
Acts 15:18 Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world. 15:19 Wherefore my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God:
And actually, I was both moved and amused by your obvious lack of a sound understanding on this subject - the way one is both moved and amused when a child who has obviously tried to get a thing right, has failed to.
(Of course, you will now take that wrong, also).
I wasn't in the least offended by your words, as it was and remains obvious to me you haven't a clue what you are talking about.
And that is both moving, and amusing.
My call to your pals is for your sake, not for mine.
Once more, you take passages out of their context in some hoped for support of your mis-fire and none of your pals say a word.
Dispensational passages at that, and not a peep from your peep's on here to you.
Where are the ever supposedly truth smacking STP, RD, Musti, and Tam on this error of yours - not a word out of any of them.
You actually, think GD, I would want the approval of such individuals - who leave their supposed own in an error in the interest of the fool "united front" you are each ever asserting I have disturbed by my refusal to be party to such a shallow "fellowship"?
It is what it is. That is where you are, and where you want to remain on this.
And where your pals are.
That you choose to view these exchanges from some sort of pettiness remains just as obvious.
Talk all the "spiritual" your obvious double-standard compels you to falsely believe you are supposedly talking from, you are only fooling yourself.
I remain both moved and amused by it all.
And fascinated by the dynamic on all sides of these exchanges, and what I continue to learn from it all.
Romans 5:8.
