Tijmen010 View Profile History	Why "G-d"? Posted : 30 Sep, 2013 12:08 AM I'm not judging those who write "G-D", I'm only saying that it is not necessary. And when I read the Gospel, I read about a God Who came to us, and made a way between God and man. By the way, the Bible speaks not about "Jehovah", "Jahweh", or other names like that, the only thing we know is JHVH or JHWH. So we have completely no evidence to say what JHWH means. "God says we do not have to give up traditions and practices that do not conflict with His rules. Setting a standard for oneself higher than what the Bible teaches isnot wrong. Thinking you are better because of what you practice would be wrong. " Setting a standard for oneself higher than what is Bible teaches IS WRONG. Then you ADD to the Bible, you implicitely say that the Bible isn't good enough, that God forgot something. Post Reply

Posted : 30 Sep, 2013 04:18 PM Setting a standard for oneself higher than what the Bible says is not wrong or saying that the Bible standard isn't good enough. For example, the Bible says a woman should not dress like a man (paraphrasing). Some churches teach that this means women should not where pants, trousers, slacks. The Bible teaches that we should dress modestly. Some churches teach this means women should not wear shorts or skirts above the knee or mid-calf. I happened to attend one of those churches for awhile. When I was on the school staff, I followed those guidelines even though I don't believe it is wrong for a woman to wear pants or shorts. My salvation was not based on how I dress but my job at the time did. The sin wasn't the dress code, the sin came when some condemned other women for not adhering to this manmade standard. Post Reply

" Setting a standard "higher than God's word" is blasphemy. It asserts that their can be a standard higher than the perfect standard that God has set. This is pure blasphemy. Setting standards in addition to the standards that God has set is legalism. This was a sin that the Pharisees committed. They bound others to man-made laws in addition to God's laws. Where there is no clear Biblical standard, a Christian may use liberty of conscience to determine their own personal standard in accordance with and in subjection to God's standard. Bearing in mind that even in this liberty one should always be mindful of a "weaker brother or sister" Post Reply
teach_ib View Profile History	Why "G-d"? Posted : 30 Sep, 2013 07:52 PM Obviously, you are guilty of not reading or comprehending what was written. The example provided addressed legalism for those who held others to the standard set for themselves, The example provided addressed a general standard set in the Bible but further defined for a group of people. For instance, the church I attend now has a standard for the staff but does not hold the same standard for people who attend services. The example provided addresses my free will or liberty to determine what the standard is for me. Now I could decide that I will only wear dresses that come to my ankles or lower, that would be a 'higher' standard than even my church might set. There is nothing sinful about any of that. And to get back to the OP, writing G-d is not sinful. If individuals want to hold themselves to that standard, that is their choice. Post Reply

The other young man here read it, comprehended it, highlighted your error, and corrected it also. Enough said. Post Reply
teach_ib View Profile History	Why "G-d"? Posted : 1 Oct, 2013 04:13 PM I stand by the ability to set standards for myself that help me be accountable to others watching me. The Bible says I can eat any meat but if I am with someone who believes eating pork is wrong, I will refrain from eating pork. There are many things that the Bible allows that I may choose not to do because I know it would be offensive to someone else. We are instructed to not be a stumbling block so that may mean holding ourselves to standards higher than the what the Bible requires. That does not make us higher than God. Post Reply
