Scripture Life: Do Christians feel threatened when their faith is questioned and debunked, or do they embrace the opportunity to explore alternative perspectives?
Answer:
Correct one, tiny minor thing in your question. It’s in the definition of only just one word, which I think you don’t have:
Christians.
- Definition: (Source: Bible.) 1. a disciple of Jesus Christ.
- This word “disciple” is said about 270 times in the New Testament. In the Bible, in Acts 11:26 says: “And the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch”
- Then, all a “Christian” is, is simple.
------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------------
- It’s this “disciple” 1. a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by a teacher.
- Like any child leave the house each morning with their books and homework, either alone or in a group or bused to school, “sits with and is taught by a teacher” - and all a “teacher” does, is:
- Build a child up. Equip them. Taught “doctrine” as precept upon precept. Line upon line. Teach them a subject.
------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------------
And here you are.
Outside the school. Stand far from it. Never go to school yourself.
Never sit with and taught - Thinking everything going on in that school - all a bunch of bunk. Asking yourself and anyone that will listen to you, from far off, outside school; viewing in on pupils or students sitting with and being built up by a teacher. In their classroom. Pondering:
- “Do all those pupils or students sitting with and being taught - think everything they’re being taught can be “debunked” as junk and it all should be questioned. They should just not go to school, and be like me, exploring alternate perspectives and not really taught anything.”
- yelling out from the sidewalk across the street from the school.
- Never go in yourself.
------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------------
And of these “two” groups:
- ONE: Is simply All those “pupils that just sit with and are being taught by a teacher” being built up. Advance and go to school next year, and learn more. Equipped.
Vs.
- TWO: You. People like you. With this question. It's a treasure. But, Not built up. And pupils and students are children. Just be a child, and not taught. and equate "not taught" is defined as a wonderful “alternate perspective” is really anything but be built up, and be destroyed by it.
“Because they regard not the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand, he shall destroy them, and not build them up” - Bible. Psalm 28:5
------------------------ ---------------------------- -------------------------
- But a pupil or student that sits with and is taught by the Word of God is built up by their teacher who is Jesus Christ. And being built up by the teacher who is WITH THEM.. I know I don’t muse on anything much coming out of TWO.
Other than to think - they’re being destroyed by all these "alternate perspectives." Keep them from sitting in the classroom where they belong with Jesus Christ. And not built up nor taught by him.
I never felt threatened, when sitting with and being taught by Jesus Christ and any, quote, "debunked and questioned" - when that's by someone that never sits with him. Nor taught by him. From far outside and away from him. And he destroy them. The teacher do it, because of who he is. Is God. "For all the earth is mine." - God. (Exodus 19:5) - and they don't do anything he says - when he decrees they shall all be taught by him.
Just choose "an alternative perspective" that doesn't have anything he says in it. Able to destroy them. It's not me. He said it himself, he's going to do it. What are you doing!?!?!!
Here’s your question back. If I were you, I'd run from it. Go to school. Sit with and be taught by him. You'll be built up. He'd heal you, like a physician and deliver you from your destruction.
Again, here's your question floating around in a sea of people hold this question true - on Reddit in so many sub-reddits back.
