Now a word regarding "the narrative"
taken from correspondence between myself and a pastor.
1./ In your 1st
email to me I find this comment ~ " There is a lot of scripture but not
much narrative from you"
2./ I Apologize:
for me, as I tried to convey using THE WORD of God, The Scriptures are the
narrative.
John
3:34 - For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not
the Spirit by measure unto him.
John 7:18 - He that speaketh of
himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the
same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
3./ A B C
| my word is
nothing | | man's word is nothing
| | "and the Word was God."
Jn. 1:1-3;
A B C
| my word is
nothing | | man's word is nothing
| |
John 12:48 - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth
not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same
shall judge him in the last day.
A B C
| my word is
nothing | | man's word is nothing
| | John 6:63
- It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that
I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
A B C
| my word is
nothing | | man's word is nothing

2 Corinthians 3:5 - 6; 5] Not that we are
sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency
is of God; 6] Who also hath made us able
ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the
letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
4./ The Scriptures
are the narrative.
2 Timothy 3:14 - 17;
14] .... the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee
wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16] All scripture is given by inspiration of
God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for
instruction in righteousness: 17] That the man of God may be perfect, throughly
furnished unto all good works.
5./ A
B C
| I cannot make you wise: | | neither can any man. | | John 15:20 - Remember the word that I said unto you, The
servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will
also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
A
B C
| I cannot make you wise: | | neither can any man. | | 1 John 4:6 - We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and
the spirit of error.
A
B C
| I cannot make you wise: | | neither can any man. | | John 8:47 - He that is of God heareth God's words: ye
therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.
John 3:11 - Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye
receive not our witness.
6./ This is not my
word; nor is it my work. Wm. White did not write THE WORD of God. THE LORD GOD
did.
HEED THE WORD - as it is written.............
7./ John 5:43 - I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me
not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
John 3:11 - Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye
receive not our witness.
James 2:1 - My brethren, have not
the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
8./ 1 Corinthians 14:36 - What? came the word of God out from
you? or came it unto you only?
2 Corinthians 4:13 - We having the
same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore
have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;
John 3:11 - Verily, verily, I say
unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye
receive not our witness.
1 John 4:6 - We are of God: he that
knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the
spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
9./ 1
Corinthians 10:1 - 5;
1] Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be
ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through
the sea; 2] And were all baptized unto
Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3] And
did all eat the same spiritual meat; 4] And
did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock
that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. 5] But with many of them God was
not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.
The Scriptures are the narrative.
faithfully
