    1 Cor.4.6-7) "Ear of faith"

    "That ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another./For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?"

    It is thus we have been blessed by God a Spirit, It is not by our own merits but in his Son. When we say we are complete in him we need remember our ear and our eyes which are singular and refer to the world of the Spirit. What makes us differ then. Some do not use it. They are blind so what they read gives them leads them more to their confusion.

    Lazarus of Bethany was four days dead but he heard Jesus, just the same. Many cannot put two and two together where faith is concerned. Their literalism lead them to say 22. So much for their belief.

    Without accepting these two worlds of the body (Heb.10.5) and of the Spirit faith is to all intent and purpose is nil. Hence even after some 50 years in service one wonders,' Can believer truly saved ever lose salvation? What meaning does he apply for 'I am the truth'?

    Modification in the second para:

    "It is thus we have been blessed by God a Spirit, It is not by our own merits but in his Son. When we say we are complete in him we need remember our ear and our eyes which are singular and refer to the world of the Spirit. What makes us differ then. Some do not use it. They are blind so what they read gives them leads them more to their confusion."

    Please read it as follows

    "It is thus we have been blessed by God a Spirit, It is not by our own merits but in his Son. Faith comes by hearing,'and it is to the ear of faith it refers. (Rom.10.17) When we say we are complete in him we need remember our ear and our eyes which are singular, and refer to the world of the Spirit. What makes us differ then? Some do not use it. They are blind so what they read gives them leads them more to their confusion.
