How do they know what that person meant by something if they haven't asked them? that's why I put very little stock in the opinions of some folks. Let me see their fruit. Then I'll listen. If their fruit is wormy, then I ain't about to take a bite of their apple.

We get no further with their writings than we do with Scripture at times.<BR/><BR/>I've also learned by experience that what I learn through my own studying sticks with me a lot longer than whatever so and so said.<BR/><BR/>Christ and Christ alone.

Thanks for this great post. Christ, and Christ alone, is my authority.<BR/><BR/>I don't discount the power of these men, either. However, any influence they have should be an influence without confusion. It should edify, encourage or comfort, in my unlearned opinion.<BR/><BR/>When my mind gets tangled up in knots from reading anyone, I go back to the Book--the Living Word of God, and let Him untangle the mess others make in my brain. And when all else fails, I "do not lean unto my own understanding--but trust Him to direct my path."<BR/><BR/>I'd rather not have someone else think for me. It's all I can do to keep myself from doing all the thinking in my brain. I need Jesus. He clears cobwebs and dusts out unnecessary thoughts far better than I. selahVAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
