PERSONAL NOTE: It’s been a couple of weeks since the last post due to my having some of my family here for some time as well as making a trip to the border last week.
“Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.” Psalms 119:160
It has been said by many throughout the ages that the miracles recorded in the bible, such as the departure of the Red Sea, never happened. It’s very simple. If you don’t believe that God parted the Red Sea, sent manna to the children of Israel, sent the plagues in Egypt, and performed many other miracles recorded in his Word, then you can’t believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again. You either take it all or none. That includes the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, the nine gifts of the spirit, and holiness. God’s Word is real and true and man may doubt it but we will be judged by this Book called the Bible. The more men try to disprove the Bible, the more they have found it to be correct. Even when giving historical accounts, it matches history and the recorded miracles in the Old and New Testament are real. Don’t let some one who may have a degree from the local seminary, beter known as “cemetery” talk you out of it.
“But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” 1 Corinthians 2:14 The preceding scripture gives the reason why many have so much trouble understanding and believing the Bible. In order to read it and receive from it you must have the Holy Spirit to guide you and that can only be obtained by first excepting Christ as Savior and then continuing to walk and live for him. …for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 2 Corinthians 3:6

Do you not believe there can be disagreements between believers on issues such as these? They strike me as secondary issues since they do not directly affect the proclamation of the Gospel.
