My answer to your questions and other ramblings

I enjoyed your post Craig,
But the scripture is faith 'as' a mustard seed, Not faith 'of' a mustard seed. Not that we need a certain measure of faith, but we have a faith that grows from the smallest of seeds to the largest of herbs. Up to 60ft tall from such tiny beginnings. Its about a faith that grows. It's a hopeful thing.

Craig:
You are correct it does say faith as a mustard seed.

But my premise stands, in the statement leading up to that Jesus told them they had little faith, so little that if they had faith at least as small as a mustard seed they could move a mountain.

I agree that our faith does grow, but it is not something caused by us.  Faith is a gift from God. Someday we will be filled, my point was we don't really know what the meaning of faith really is, I suspect our definition and God's may be completely different, or at a minimum not comprehendable to us.

Hi Craig,

You makes some good points. One thing I have read on here many times is something like, 'we don't/can't really know this or that' or 'the Scripture is silent on this or that.' What I would like to say is that none of us can really say that about the rest of us here, not really. I mean each of us are differing point of study and  understanding, so then there are some who have come to a greater understanding than others... if any of us have gained some knowledge beyond what is available here then we can't share it.

I'm not advocating that we open up the forum for others teaching. No. I'm just saying nobody can say what others here know or don't know. I hope that there are those here that are continuing to grow, even beyond what is here... why should we be limited to this, even as much as it is? The Spirit indwelling is not limited, praise God!

mercy, peace and love
Kat

Correction -  this was not Paul this was someone Paul knew..

2-Corinthians 12-1
"I knew a man in Christ above fourteen years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell; or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third heaven".

I say

- a little while ago maybe most of us here just couldn't conceive what God would reveal to us through Ray/BT.

- we can say "there are some things God won't reveal during the current age".

- we can not say "the Scriptures is silent on this or that".

- we can logically say "we don't know what specifically will or will not be revealed this age, so let's keep looking!".


    "There's so much in there!" Ray  :)

    "But God hath revealed {them} unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God." (1 Corinthians 2:10)

God bless!
