We all enjoy inspirational thoughts shared by insightful people. Some folks have a natural gift to impart such thoughts with little or no effort. Words just seem to roll off their tongue and wow us. I’m not one of those folks which is why it has been quite some time since my last post. Another reason for the delay is trying to wrap my head around current events and wondering when it will be better. I’ve caught myself saying, “When this is behind us…”
Just suppose the past several months of health issues and rioting and discord and political unrest is our forever future. Just suppose every day is better than the day that will follow. For those who have faith in God and His promises and leave everything in His hands, no problem; because, those folks find peace in every situation and refuse to fret and worry over things out of their control. But what about those who don’t know God? Or, those who know God but a better understanding would deepen their faith and trust? I invite you to join me in a discussion of scriptures.
I will post scriptures and ask questions about those scriptures. Please read the passage(s) and then in the comment section of the blog, answer the questions based on your findings in the scriptures. In other words, it’s an open book test! Even if your response is the same as someone else’s (and it should be since it’s an open book test), that’s ok – post it anyway! That means you agree and what the world needs now is more folks agreeing with one another especially if it is truth (which is another thing the world needs). So here we go on our new adventure.
Please read Mark 7:7-9, and 13 and I Timothy 4:1-4 and answer the following questions:
1. Are the commandments of men equal to the commandments of God?
2. Is tradition equal to the Word of God?
3. What happens when we follow commandments or traditions of men?
4. What are two examples of traditions of men found in 1 Timothy 4:3?
5. What happens when people give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils?
Oh this is so exciting! I can’t wait to read your answers.
