Session Notes

Q&A: If I don’t understand the scriptures am I not saved?:“Understanding the scriptures never saved anyone…. You have felt that suggestion that if you don’t know it then you don’t know God. But we know God because His Spirit is in us and not because how much Bible we know or don’t know.

Q&A: Using the Bible to promote bogus religion:“We have come to speak in terms of ”believing“ when the word ”opinion“ would more accurately describe our relation to the concept or idea that is being discussed or declared. But we don’t usually want to say we ”THINK“, or that this thing is our ”opinion“ because it sounds less authoritative or less personal or perhaps, less godly and more scientific. The fact of the matter is that our religious world has presented us with the idea that our ”beliefs“ consist of the teachings we hold, instead of IN WHOM we believe – and this has created MANY bogus ideas.

🙂 But we know “truth” for one reason and one reason only, and that is because Christ has become wisdom to us. We know Christ, who IS the truth. “But you have an anointing from the Holy One, AND YOU ALL KNOW. I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, BUT BECAUSE YOU DO KNOW IT, and because no lie is of the truth.”

Q&A: How do you read the Bible and get what you do out of it?:“When I see Christ as my life I see Him in everything in my everyday life …… :)Just remember, the stuff you have read from me has been the same kind of stuff you are wondering about…. Just realize that what you end up discovering by seeing the original intent of the written word is the SAME REALITY that you KNOW in your heart to be true: that you are REALLY free in Christ through what He did for you in His death, burial, and resurrection.”This is an excellent section stressing to focus on Christ/His freedom in us!

Written words, written standards, written modes of comparison, written traps of logic, written formulas, written principles – all supposedly brought to completion in one leather-bound volume that is said to be the only source by which we can know God and/or truth. Yuck, puke, vomitous lies all intended to bring us back under a “written in stone” kind of relationship with God that never worked before and can never work in any circumstances!!! Law came through Moses, Grace came through Christ!!!“The is a excellent, bold, and brief article explaining the difference between law and Christ.

Q&A: How do I tell my kids about different religions and beliefs?:“every group has its problems because every group is made up of other people who are just as confused as you and I are, and that the reason you favor one group over another is that, at least in what you can determine, there is a stronger general leaning toward the miraculous reality of Christ, and that this is the only reality that will cut through our confusion.* Don’t be afraid to tell them that many groups are simply built around the name and concept of Christianity and have become social clubs … and may be pretty good social clubs if you were to ignore the religious factors.* religions will often shift and sometimes do things simply to protect itself.* are you prepared to go elsewhere if the group is causing more harm than good in your family?
