When the Lord answers, it is our responsibility to declare the truth. I have not known the LORD to set up double standards among men in the assembly. When He gives us an answer to prayer we are not to hide it under a bushel some place and pretend He didn't answer us. There is no such thing as a private interpretation of God's Truth. So with that mentality, would you expect to pick up the quill of Peter, Paul, and John and write more precepts? Nay, if those men who were charged to write the bible did not think enough to include it; then it is a private conviction and not necessarily something everyone else needs to follow. |
A wife of a forbidder is usually heavily laden with the same self-righteous and sanctimonious spirit as her husband. It is this spirit that always causes both him and her to fall. As for my mentality...
I am a writer. I 'pick up the quill' every time I use the keyboard. I would prefer the mentality that wrote the words that you have quoted to the one that naysayers like you so foolishly attempt to gainsay on in your spiritual blindness. Now if I were to adopt your hypocritical position instead, then I should never speak up when my Lord calls me to and I should join the ranks of the dogs who sleep at the feet of Jezebel. My foundation is the Holy Bible and the Spirit bears witness that I do both: preach and write. I don't have to "add" to the scripture in any way but men of God are also required to expound on the scriptures. It seems to me that if what your mentality is suggesting is true, then all who type anything on the message boards concerning holiness unto God is false and corrupt unless it is only a direct quote from the scripture word-for-word. If that is the case then you are trapped in your own hypocrisy for having done as much as those whom you condemn. That would mean 99.99% of all who post on message boards. I will stand by these words:

Where do I give any new commandment to anyone? Where is the precepts that you refer to in this truth? I could easily put forth a half-dozen scriptures to support this statement but you falsely accuse me because you bear false witness. You read much into my words that is not there because you have prejudged me; but I forgive you because after all, you are only a woman. You are not my Master and the spirit that bears witness of your words is false.
