The only “I do” in your phase is Jesus. Do as Jesus does. Be Christ-like. No one in this world is like Jesus. God in flesh. And there are those who preach God’s word. Those who know and understand it. But they are not without mistakes. They are in no position greater than anyone else who follows Christ. As far as salvation goes. We make mistakes. We help each other. With love and forgiveness in our heart.
But your wise to question those that teach God’s word. Some twist and distort and completely skip over to form their own meanings. And this is very wrong. Like saying homosexuality is ok with God. No not isn’t. No sin is ok with God. And that sin actually was called out as an abomination. The sin is, not the person. But translations may refer to more of the stories of the Bible. Those stories aren’t different from day to day. They will always be the same. But you may understand them, as they have meaning to your current situation, or they may not relate to you for years and years later. So there are the basic translations of the stories and God’s word. The meaning doesn’t change. How it relates to you does. Depending on your current situation. I hope this is helping you.
Thanks for the input my south African brother . Your posts are always illuminating and faith in God unwavering.
I wish we could meet and have a real discussion someday
Oh that would be awesome. It’s so much easier talking face to face than typing sentences, lol. I’m not South African, I’m from Tennessee(North America). The one who posted this forum post is from Africa, Purkiss80. An amazing fellow anon he is.
