Mike Gagne:
Pay attention to the words, LRay has said this many times in  his audio  teachings and in his writings. I  have noticed that some of us have not done this and I see it leads to trouble further down the thread. Example, one time I was Going at it with Kat and Alex and I was just reading and answering with out a whole lot of really paying attention to all the words, I got frustrated and I was getting angry. But for some reason ( and we know who is the cause of them reasons) I kept going back and rereading and after reading the posts  of Kat and Alex over and over again wham Oh God opened my eyes to the truth of  what they were saying! Wow if I would have done that ( pay attention to all the words ) I would have saved a lot of time, typing and frustrating of others. Neo mentioned it in another thread.  I learned that I must pay attention to all the words and It is a great benefit to me!

Dave in Tenn:
I won't dispute that you've made a good observation.  I can only add that 'sometimes' the words we use (and absolutely most especially when discussing biblical topics) have to be clear, and (for real communication to take place) understood and defined by both (all) parties in much the same way.  This isn't a matter of some writing well, and others not-so-well.  It's a matter of a shared understanding of the meanings of those pesky "bible-words".  Get the definition, and you may well can understand the message.  Don't get the definition, and you well may not be able to. 

One thing I've learned from Ray's writing is that he goes to great lengths to accurately define the words of Scripture.  Paul exhorted to use 'sound language'.  Surely the writers of Scripture did.  Surely the major theologians of the world do not.  That's been the major focus of my own study for these past years.  What does scripture actually SAY...not what spin can I put on this?

Anyway--just venting a bit.  Maybe I missed your point again.   ;)

   

Mike Gagne:
I agree Dave! 😀

Dennis Vogel:
And sometimes:

Joh 12:40  He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.

Mike Gagne:
Yes Dennis! Only God can open my eyes...Isaiah 22:22 (KJV)
[22] And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. And...Revelation 3:7 (KJV)
[7] And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;  Only God can reveal these truths to me that I have learned from both bible truths .com and exposing those who contradict web sites. When Jesus called me out of the church within a month He opened  the doors to me and lead me straight to these sites! On the way I heard of others and even looked into them and my spirit never agreed with them! I trust Jesus lead me here to teach me His truths and my spirit is in agreement with Lrays teachings!! My spirit never said wow like it has on other sites! No one can take from me what Jesus has taught me here, no one can close that door!!
