Short, sweet, and packed with wisdom from my friend, The Ancients
By The Ancients from Secretplacesofelelyon
(From a comment I made elsewhere, figured I’d use it as a post):
Often, when believers hear a “good/revelatory word” we’ll say things like: that was some good meat. But was it really – good meat – just hearing the word?
Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of Him that sent me, and to finish His work. John 4:34
So there we have it from the master’s mouth – when we keep/do His commandments [which are not at all burdensome], that’s the meat of the word. It’s action.
As the Apostle James says, do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.

ahaha… you’re right…
I’ve managed to convince myself that since I don’t leave an obvious link with my comments no one would find me…
Yes, I know you and James and others have… I’m still trying to figure out how…
but nah… I’m not hiding… just keeping a low profile… though you couldn’t tell by my comments 🙂 lol

I’m sorry if I put you in a pickle. I usually ask before I repost, and honestly had it scheduled ahead of time and just forgot…
I’m glad I found your blog, though. It’s good stuff. Concise, to the point. That is refreshing sometimes.
And I really don’t remember how I found your blog…but somehow I did.
Low profile? Wow, I really want to see you when you step out LOL.

Yeah, I’ve been watching that. Absurdity at it’s best. I don’t get it. They ask for an answer, we give one. Answer not good enough, so they offer and alternate. Why did they even ask? I will tell you why. They aren’t looking for answers, they are looking to trip us up and harass.
I have moderated several of them because they got totally out of hand on my blog and were sucking my life away. I couldn’t talk to other believers or people with real questions because they were taking all of my time..intentionally I am sure.

You’ve captured it precisely!
Trying to trip up a person is very dumb – so what?- no one understands everything perfectly.
Who’s going to change their beliefs because of that.. ummm oh well, except for —

Yeah..except for…no names needed. But, you know, those who allow themselves to get tripped up were looking for an out in the first place.
