There's this ONE thing....

<< < (4/5) > >>

Dave in Tenn:
Karenmarie and others;

Was thinking again on the verse in Matthew I copied above and reflecting on so many testimonies I've heard from you guys.  I don't want to make too much of this, or create a 'doctrine' where one may not exist, but just as those whose eyes are blinded are fulfilling scripture, it seems to me that those whose eyes He is opening are fulfilling scripture as well.  So many of us have testified about having a little light earlier in our lifes.  Maybe we put it different ways, as you did in saying "...all things I have struggled with for years, but now much more clear."--just that sense that something wasn't right with what we were hearing in Babylon is 'light', I think.

With that in mind, I read "For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath." as the very definition of the chosen and the called.  The chosen HATH...and he shall have MORE.  I'm thankful for the MORE I have been given by way of B-T.

Vangie:
Thanks Dave--that really hit home.

I guess the big thing that really made a difference for me, at first, is learning that the church did not have the truth. Of course I knew that they could not answer questions pose to them, but to find out that they have no truth was a real eye opener. It was then that I started putting all of the manmade doctrines aside and begin receiving the truths here at BT. Glory be to God!


Hi Dave, that verse struck a cord with me as well.

Mat 13:12  For to him who has will more be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

Yes I think this verse is talking about God's truth. The chosen do have the truth and will be given more. But for those that do not have the truth "even what he has will be taken away," is this speaking of the manmade doctrines that will be taken away? I think so.

mercy, peace and love

 This thread is so encouraging to read...:) I'm still new to BT, but something I learned here has made the hugest impression on my heart...it's a truth that is uttered by millions, but understood by few. It's the most comforting truth to my heart, and the one that ultimately brought my house on the sand crashing down... 

God is Love!!

The "One Thing" that knocked me off my high horse was the revelation of the magnitude of the sovereignty of God.  The teachings of my religious past all seemed to try to bring God down to something our human brains could get around, which makes God very small.  I now still can't even begin to comprehend the actual ability and power of God, the only thing I know for certain is that it is absolute.  Everything is under His control.  There is no power greater than His.  He is the cause of all effects.
