In your own words, where do you disagree with what I said and why?My dear sibling, I pray that you will consider my words carefully. It took me a very long time to get to the point where I felt I understood, to a great degree, the subtleties of scripture and context of the same. Guess what. All that was turned on it's head and recently.
While much of what I had learned was useful, what has recently been imparted to me, upon repeated resistance, when once considered in sincerity, turned much of my former understanding on it's head. Many and frightful are the deceptions by unseen powers and principalities. For once uncovered, the breadth and depth their deceptions, cloaked in the mantle of 'righteousness' and academic consensus, starkly present as deceptions nonetheless. Deceptions which permeated even the seemingly plainest of our Father's truths and promises.
It is no secret that scripture has been tainted in the form scribal error and misconstrued cultural and philosophical context, which in turn affects our comprehension of even life and death circumstance.
The ravages of evil prevarications, time and the bad acts by the hands of men are equally devastating. Some deceptions have merely been 'correction' based in dogma that nonetheless proves dystopic by the well intended and equal in import to the most vile evil. So intentioned or innocent in motive notwithstanding, the net result is to still leave the ardent and true student of the Word with false impressions and dangerous perils to be blindly navigated. Yes, we are guided by the Spirit, but only when our internal and incessant dialog is forcefully suppressed.
Yet throughout all of the abuses of the former and present day custodians of His Holy Script, there is yet those to which the truth of these matters have been revealed. You should be counted among them. But it is a journey and not a destination.
So I pray you would understand that we are meant to love, trust and learn from our brethren. Likewise, I would make an humble request of you:
Please consider the service @HARK! and @daq would offer and seriously meditate on these matters. For I once believed as you do, but through their assistance, I have come to understand a great many matters once and recently held close, to be based on manifold errors of myself and our forebears, due to an incomplete or outright faulty recognition of its true form and context.
Please know that we all are praying for all these members and all these matters, for they are all dear to the heart of the Father. Please allow the matters of contention, your deepest and sincerest consideration. For theirs is a gift offered in His love and should be received in a like manner.
Shalom, shalom...
