Ever since I was little, I've asked God for the gift of tongues, knowing it's a gift that helps the person who receives it.
From what I understand from your text, I didn't know much about the debate between cessationists and continuationists, and I don't want to label anyone...
With God's help, I try to maintain a peaceful heart and avoid arguments or conversations that don't truly help anyone grow.
I truly value the solitude God gives me - it's where I find space to reflect and grow.
I'm also praying for peace in your dad's heart and in yours as well.
I've been keeping your study in my list too.
It's amazing how looking at the Bible from different perspectives shows us that everyone has their own way of seeing things - and honestly, it makes the world much more interesting.
I would like to talk a little bit on what you stated.
Your quote;
"It's amazing how looking at the Bible from different perspectives shows us that everyone has their own way of seeing things - and honestly, it makes the world much more interesting." End quote.
The Bible is not based on everyone's perspectives, in fact the Bible is a collection of books inspired by God and is the word of God.
Scripture is not based off anyone's perspective.
(All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:)
2 Tim 3:16.
How does the scripture reprove anyone if all scripture is based off various perspectives?
How could scripture be correction, for instruction in righteousness if it's based off various perspectives?
Different interpretations of the scripture arise from varying experiences, cultural belief and Etc..
But God's word has direct purpose and meaning and cannot be altered.
We learn as we grow and let the scripture explain itself.
There has always been Man's perspective and then there's TRUTH!
We seek truth that we may know God and that's only done by the Spirit of truth! (The Holyspirit!)
I do agree with you on one thing, You said different perspectives shows us that everyone has their own way of seeing things and the world would be much more interesting.
Well, that's the condition of the present world we live in! ( everyone has their own way of seeing things.)
And yes it's interesting but it's chaos.
The Bible doesn't speak well about the world or man's perspective.
Here's Paul in 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.
Jesus didn't leave us alone, he sent us his Spirit to instruct us from the "in ward parts" Our heart. This is Lordship!
Without it we would be like Israel without a King!
Judges 17:6 and Judges 21:25.
Thank you Bemtivi for letting me elaborate on this a bit, it's very important.
Thank you so much for your kind, corrections and encouragement!
I really appreciate your time and your care in explaining everything so clearly. I may not have put it across as clearly as I intended; I need to improve both my grammar and my vocabulary, is still very basic, and maybe I didn't express myself very well. What I meant was more about the Bible showing us the lives and perspectives of people like Moses, Ruth, David, Isaiah, Daniel, Matthew, Paul and both others - each one who was part of giving us the Bread of Life, by God's inspiration. But maybe I didn't explain it properly, and I see now that I could have made my thoughts clearer.

I meant to say "Sorry for such a "late" response on my part, I didn't get an email notifications on your reply.
God bless
No worries at all - I completely understand how busy life can be!
Please don't worry about it. I'm very happy you replied. As I was reflecting, this verse came to my heart:
"Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish." ( Proverbs 12:1)
And yes, I think I clicked the reply button, but maybe something happened with the notifications.
Thank you again for taking the time to answer me!

I understand, Sadly 90 percent of my posts and replies is from my cellphone and rushed because I'm always working on the job or at home.
