Speaking Only For Myself
This discussion is about verses or sections of the New Testament that aren’t in the earlier Greek manuscripts and how they could impact basic Christian tenets, beliefs, traditions, and practices.
OK, certainly how the book is interpreted is important for some.
​
A bigger question is why some interpretations are valued and why it matters.

I Dare Not Lay Down My Questions

Something said to my heart "You foolish man. The Bible says - Receive the Holy Spirit. It did not say Figure out the Holy Spirit. It said RECEIVE the Holy Spirit. "
​
From that day, I stopped being distracted from the main point of the word of God - to RECEIVE this Holy Spirit.
But this brings up more questions.
​
1) Is it really meant for some of us to have this as our final answer and believe that our main task in life is to get everyone else to agree with us and see it as we do? IF God..through Jesus By the Holy Spirit is the answer, are there to be no further questions?
