Trolls who Flame Bait, be on guard.......

<< < (4/5) > >>

Deborah-Leigh:
I have been pondering these scriptures and I believe they tie in to the subject of this thread.

2 Tim 4 : 3 For the time is coming when people will not tolerate, endure sound and wholesome destruction, but having ears itching for something pleasing and gratifying they will gather to themselves one teacher after another to a considerable number, chosen to satisfy their own liking and to foster the errors they hold.

I am becoming increasingly aware that worldly and carnal minded people are among those who  1 Tim 1 : 4 …give importance to or occupy themselves with legends, fables, myths and endless genealogies, which foster and promote useless speculations and QUESTIONINGS, rather than acceptance in faith of GOD’s administration and the divine training that is in faith in that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence.

And yet how many accept that “free will” by definition, is a worldly and carnal minded assumption that there exists the ability to act independently of God. (Ref. LOF Part 15-B) Can true reverential fear of God begin in the absence of this revelation? Can anyone truly reverentially fear God and NOT know that He is Sovereign?  I don’t think so!  Psalms 111 : 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.   Proverbs 4 : 7  Above all and before all, do this; Get Wisdom.

1 Tim 6 : 20 ….guard and keep the deposit entrusted to us and to  turn away from the irreverent babble and godless chatter, with the vain and empty and worldly phrases, and the subtleties and contradictions in what is falsely called knowledge and spiritual illumination.

Ecc. 12 : 13…the conclusion of the whole matter, Fear God…this is the whole duty of man.

The duty of man is relative. The Sovereignty of God is Absolute. When the Relative becomes the Absolute then man moves from the Plan of God into the Will of God. When and as this happens then mans whole duty of keeping Gods commandments becomes the consequence not a duty, as in living by grace through faith not law through duty to fear God. This is what I have observed.

As the Scripture says in Ecc 12….the adjustment to all inharmonious circumstances and conditions under the sun and the whole duty for every man is …..Fear God. 

Those who do not fear God are still in the plan don't you think? Those who do fear God are in His will. Here we can discern the distinction between the many and the few. The question is are we in the Will or the Plan of God. Are we turning AWAY from the little foxes or Trolls that would spoil the vine or do we join them? These have been my thoughts.

There is much ground in this Forum that is win win and there are odd occurrences when the ground becomes win /loose to keep the skills sharp to discern the difference and to keep trained and spiritually exercised the  turning of  the other cheek, the fearing reverential gratitude for God’s Sovereignty and  dependence on Christ alone.

Peace to you
