For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, <br />5. And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6. If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh...<br /><br />(Did it say renew them again unto salvation? no.) Let me give it a go on what was meant in that ole scary verse.<br /><br />Two friends were told by God that everything in the 7 eleven store is free because he paid for it. The two friends go into the store and just get two sodas, freely. On the way out one friend thinks to himself this is not right I should have to pay for this free soda, while the other friend goes outside resting on Gods promise of the free soda, looking at his friend from the outside trying to buy his free gift. The other friend pulls out his money, works, and wants to pay for his soda, he is not resting on the promises of God. Does he negate what God has said? Does he now live by his works of righteousness? Is he tossing the standard of repentance out the window with his wanting to pay for the free gift? Will he know"if we confess our sins he is faithfull and just to forgive our sins."shipwrecksoulhttp://shipwrecksoul.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538825134834187144.post-10675430270840604622009-08-25T21:10:01.711-04:002009-08-25T21:10:01.711-04:00Great thoughts Jared.
And I think T. David Gordo...Great thoughts Jared. <br /><br />And I think T. David Gordon would agree with your thought that we've lost the feel of Scripture; he would go farther and say that pastors have not cultivated the ability to read texts closely and understand them deeply (in his book "Why Johnny Can't Preach").<br /><br />I think that all of us at some point need instruction on just <i>how</i> to actually go about doing #1 and #2 rightly.<br /><br />Otherwise, the repeated calls to "read your Bible" or "have quiet times" to the average churchgoer often just lead to guilt or giving up in frustration.<br /><br />Great thoughts though, and much needed.<br /><br />Just curious, if the average churchgoer came to you and said "I want to be able to interpret the Scriptures better", where would you point them first?joe carleyhttp://betweentheages.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538825134834187144.post-12032228577082226482009-08-25T11:42:02.991-04:002009-08-25T11:42:02.991-04:005.
