Coffee Talks Part 03

Use what you have learned and write a response with a Bible verse referenced.

Day 1- THE TRINITY

“I don’t believe in the trinity. I believe in God, but Jesus and the Holy Spirit are not God.”

Day 2- THE BIBLE’S RELEVANCE

“I believe the Bible is not relevant today like it was back then. Society is different and the Bible is simply just a sacred text that made sense back when it was written.”

Day 3- THE ONLY TRUTH

“The Bible is a great book but it is not the only thing that is true.”

Day 4- GOD’S WORD WITHOUT ERROR

“I believe since men wrote the Bible that it has errors. It seems to contradict itself.”

Day 5- THE LORD’S WILL, NOT MANKIND’S

“The Bible is a great book and people can interpret it in different ways that fit their own thoughts and life.”

DID YOU KNOW

There were times that Jesus withdrew when there was persecution and there were times He engaged it head on.  The same will be true for you. God will ask you to withdraw and in doing so you are not being weak. You are being like Christ, humble and being patient for God’s timing. Be prepared, God might not ask you to engage in that particular arena again. In other words, God might ask you to “move on.” Did you know that Jesus spent much of the first part of His ministry speaking and showing the Jewish nation about who He was? About half way through Jesus’ three years of ministry, God asked Jesus to focus on teaching His disciples who would proclaim the Gospel to the world. Yes, God’s plan for Jesus was to “move on.” The thing is, God was not moving on, but He was going to use Jesus in a different way. Many people from the nation of Israel came to know Jesus after His death and resurrection. So, how do you know whether to engage, withdraw, or move on? It’s simple: be still and listen to the Holy Spirit who lives inside of you. He will tell you what God wants you to do.
