Bible Discussion Thread

All, It is such a blessing to see all the comments and sense the excitement of many of you. I want to take the opportunity to encourage all to focus on the only viable point of many thousands of years of scripture. We cannot please God without understanding we are all sinners and need the provision of the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. There are differences of opinions - Trinity or not, works vs grace, baptize or not, gift still in operation. Paul advises us to not argue over these issues, either we believe John 3:16 or we do not. Satan wants us to focus on secondary issues as opposed to spreading the Gospel. To encourage a younger Christian by revealing scripture is correct however please focus on building up rather than disputing doctrines that at the end of the day may create divisions and discourage younger folks. As we mature in Christ, the Holy Spirit is fully capable of giving us better understanding, like Paul said, when I became a man I put away childish things.
