“Left that other site” has excellent Bible studies with pictures every day on the “Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem” thread. It is posted in the morning. I always make sure to catch up even if it means going back for several days. Right now the thread is going through characters of the Bible and the pictures really add to the study.
Without belief in the Holy Eucharist what difference does this all make?
Wow! Where does on start with that statement?
"Freewheeling openness to the leading of the Holy Spirit? Without an earnest desire to search the scriptures that is simply not possible. Without scripture that's an invitation to deceptive spirits. There can be no "freewheeling openness to the leading of the Holy Spirit" without an equal and ardent desire to know the word of God.
The statement "practicing the laborious discipline of mastering His Word" says to me that there is no "leading of the Holy Spirit". How could someone say that it's "laborious discipline" when led by the Holy Spirit? It's not "laborious discipline" but an eager and overwhelming desire when led by the Holy Spirit.
Being led by the Holy Spirit is inseparable from a desire to search the scriptures daily.
