Jo.2:4 Is there a disrespect?
Deborah-Leigh:
It is good that we don't strive about words. To strive, produces envy, strife, railings and evil surmising.
It is more splendid to hold fast the form of sound words, which we have heard of Christ, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus. 8)
The Scriptures are in accord with one another. God doesn’t contradict Himself anywhere any time, ever!
Ray teaches quote : There is a spiritual match for every symbol in the book of Revelation.
There are no useless words in the Word of God. All words of God are Spirit and Truth and not one word of God contradicts.
Scriptures of prophesy, are not of any “private” interpretation. Strong’s Concordance translates private to mean pertaining to self, separate, apart or alone. No Prophesy of God’s Word is alone. It is not to be taken apart, or used on its own, separated from other Scripture. Why? Because Prophesy is not of men but of the Holy Spirit!
Blessings, as we all progress to correctly divide the word of God and come to know the Spirit of Christ.

No one has stated the scriptures are not in accord with one another. I stated that a spiritual match must be in accord or in agreement. I used the example of fire in scripture.
Jesus talking about judgment fire is not the same as the children of Israel sacrificing their children in fire. We can avoid "striving about words" by not putting words in each other's mouths.
G. Driggs:
It's all worthless without love.
Rom 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
Rom 12:4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
Rom 12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
Rom 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
Rom 12:7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching;
Rom 12:8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Rom 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
Rom 12:10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another;
1Co 12:27 Now you are the body of Christ, and members of a part,
1Co 12:28 whom also God, indeed, placed in the ecclesia, first, apostles, second, prophets, third, teachers, thereupon powers, thereupon graces of healing, supports, pilotage, species of languages."
1Co 12:29 Not all are apostles. Not all are prophets. Not all are teachers. Not all have powers.
1Co 12:30 Not all have the graces of healing. Not all are speaking languages. Not all are interpreting.
1Co 12:31 Yet be zealous for the greater graces. And still I am showing you a path, suited to transcendence.
1Co 13:1 If I should be speaking in the languages of men and of the messengers, yet should have no love, I have become resounding copper or a clanging cymbal."
1Co 13:2 And if I should have prophecy and should be perceiving all secrets and all knowledge, and if I should have all faith, so as to transport mountains, yet have no love, I am nothing."
Col 3:12 Put on, then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, pitiful compassions, kindness, humility, meekness, patience,
Col 3:13 bearing with one another and dealing graciously among yourselves, if anyone should be having a complaint against any. According as the Lord also deals graciously with you, thus also you.
Col 3:14 Now over all these put on love, which is the tie of maturity."
Col 3:15 And let the peace of Christ be arbitrating in your hearts, for which you were called also in one body; and become thankful."
Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ be making its home in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing yourselves; in psalms, in hymns, in spiritual songs, singing, with grace in your hearts to God."
Whether or not these Scriptures witness each other I do not know for sure, but it sure seems like it according to what little grace God has given me.
So please I respectfully ask, let it all be for the sake of Love.
Peace to all
G.Driggs
judith collier:
John from Kentucky, I hear you about the mother and son quips. My son gets irritated with me too.
But about Mary, the mother, I found it surprising (never saw it before) Mary obviously knew Jesus was going to begin a ministry or wouldn't she have said, "what"?
And as far as a sharp reply, let me tell you. People of a few generations ago and some today still give blunt responses. I used to be offended by these seemingly sharp answers but finally realized not everyone is a company relationship manager. Jesus most likely had more important things on His mind. And if His mother knew about his upcoming ministry perhaps He was taken aback that she would interfere with the timing of it all.
Just a thought. judy
Deborah-Leigh:
Hi G.Driggs
Those Scriptures are beautiful brother.
Judy, you noted something wonderfully inspiring! 8)
Nothing surprises God, and He can marvel at us!
Blessings of His marvelous Spirit as He works all to good in accord to the Council of His Will.
