Questions & Answers

Are there questions you’ve wondered about scripture? I will give you the best answer I can, sometimes I may reference someone else’s answer and if possible, give you a link to that resource.

I believe that God’s Word is the ultimate resource. If I give you an answer with insufficient reference to scripture, ask and I will share were my viewpoint of that/those scripture(s) is/are. While I will be happy to establish my scriptural viewpoint, I will not enter a debate with you, and not permit this site to become a debate site. My goal is to give you sufficient information for you to talk to the Holy Spirit and ask Him for understanding on the subject.

If you hold an opinion on anything, that you haven’t submitted to the Holy Spirit, it is at best only a partial knowledge of that subject. It doesn’t matter if you are a teacher of God’s word or a highly studied brain surgeon, you are limited by time and space for your limited understanding. God is limited by neither. If you are not in the habit of running your “great’ knowledge about your expertise through God for His input, give it a try.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.  (Pro 3:5-6 KJV)

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.  (Jas 1:5-6 KJV)

Before Jesus left the earth, He instructed His disciples that it was to their benefit that He went away. He could be in only one place while in His physical body, but that He would send the Holy Spirit to be with them forever. The Holy Spirit abides inside every born-again believer in Jesus’ finished work on our behalf. These instructions to His disciples can be read in the book of John, chapters 14-16.

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; (Joh 14:16 KJV)

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.  (Joh 14:26 KJV)

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.  (Joh 16:7 KJV)

It is the work of the Holy Spirit to teach us, lead us into all truth, to show us things to come, and to give us comfort. This is the aspect of pride that makes it come before a fall- Thy thinkest too highly of thyself.

Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise.  For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.  And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain.  (1Co 3:18-20 KJV)

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.  (1Co 1:25 KJV)

See 1 Cor 1:18-31 for a more complete statement, contrasting man’s wisdom to God’s.

The teachings of man will always be short of what there is to be known. If you find the teaching on this site awesome, that would make my day; but if you build your faith on what I or anyone else teaches you, you have missed the scripture’s instruction to bring all your knowledge to the Holy Spirit, so that He can give you the revelation that He wants you to have.
