Stereotyping & Religion

Lefty this is similar to what happens to me. It's the same with studying scripture. I dare not, under penalty of a living death, go that way. The scripture itself says that "the letter killeth," and the spirit of that, is you can derive it from the let>>>

Hi Pot Gregory,

I do better learning from someone's personal experience.

Someone quoting scripture seldom helps me sort things out. That is just the way I am.

My eyes just glaze over, my mind starts to drift when the quoting scripture starts in.

Hi,

I have 3 voices that talk inside me.

Myself, God, and evil for lack of a better word.

This is how the voices operate. I talk a little. Ask questions most. My experience uses this voice.

Mike, I have always had a hard time discerning the Spititual from the literal myself. I wood find myself in my studies always comparing some type of literal meaning to the word , and this is ok I think. There is much literal meaning to scripture,>>>
