I could hit my head twice as hard as that and it wouldn't change the fact that you agreed with Jerry that it isn't "faith of Christ" but the "faithfulness" of Christ. Just like when you claimed God's UNtruth knew what scope and context were, and then later said she was dim-witted and stupid. Make up your mind, and then I won't have to smack my head in frustration. :chuckle:
Well, don't do it on my account; I'm simply not worth it.
And I still view “the faith of Christ” - on His end - as a reference to His faithfulness to what He came to do – “he loved me, and gave Himself for me.”
As for the other issue, I have always maintained that individual appears to have a learning disability.
One that results in a state of stupor through which they perceive things, thus, my continued patience with her.
It is often the case such a disability result in talents in some area higher that others in that same area by the way. And often they themselves are unaware of it.
Anyway, sis, you simply do not know where I am coming from, nor should you be expected to, as this is my own experience, observation, looking into, and reflection on things, as I am fascinated by how perception works to no end.
Further, keep in mind we are not from the same Mid-Acts Perspective in some things; obviously the result of how we approach studying some things out.
I find it all fascinating; which is why I do not need to bait people with questions meant to corner them into a means of glorying in the flesh against them, call them ignorant, or need them to have to have my understanding, and all the rest. That just gets in the way of my learning from them what there often is to learn even when they are off.
When I do go against someone it is only when I am fully persuaded in my own mind that their faculties are intact as they go about opposing us as willfully and dishonestly as some do.
I am ever open to learning from
anyone – even from someone who’s ways I might strongly dislike.
Its what the doctrine is meant to produce in us in contrast to "that's not for us," too often, as its own point of contention.
The doctrine is meant to result in the following - Philippians 4:
11. Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
12. I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13. I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
I want to thank you for causing me to reflect on these things.
