SUNDAY EDITORIAL

MAY 29, 2011

I have been known to send articles to LJG with a big note-DO NOT PRINT-. Why? It is easy sometime to put my personal feelings into my writing.

Today I am not going to add that note. If the shoe fits-PLEASE-wear it.

We have always welcomed questions and comments. Most are sincere and either words of encouragement or questions for more information. There have been disagreements with what we have wrote. We have no problem with this, everyone will not always agree. We respect your right to your view. Some of these comments have resulted in well researched articles.

What both of us do not understand is if you disagree with our views, why do you continue to read us and leave hurting comments on our sites. Not once have you said anything that would give us cause to change our views. If we are able to respect your right to your view why do you not accept our right to ours.

Do you feel a need to challenge us? There are many sites we have gone to and seeing beliefs that do not line up with the Word of God, as we understand it,we don't go back.

In studying others beliefs we do research, but never have we felt lead by the Lord to try and convert their beliefs. This is entirely different then witnessing to someone the Lord has lead us to meet.

Again we respect your right to your views, respect ours. We use the King James Bible with the assistance of dictionaries and concorances. With that we pray and let the Lord lead us.

As a young child my earthly Dad told me that some people take the Bible apart so much that they lose sight of the truth of the Word. I remember a man who read the Bible and tried to rewrite it to his understanding, he went crazy.

The Bible tells us that only the eyes of those that have been opened will understand the truth of God's Word. We believe our eyes to be opened, our proof of this is that we have come across scripture that we thought to mean one thing but after prayer and study God has showed us different. We have found that by reading and study God will reveal His truth to us.

Now I think I said that fairly nicely. I do tend to be blunt, and hard at times. Our main goal was/and still is, is to get people to ask questions and NOT accept what their Momma or anyone else said about the Bible but to read and study for themselves.

Maybe just maybe that is what bothers some people, since we do not agree with them Well don't get mad at us, we back up everything we write about the Bible with the Bible.

God Bless

P.S. We are doing research right now on the Law; Jesus came to fulfill the Law, does that mean the Law no longer applys to us? Look for it in the near future.
