I thought of you upon my bed this morning.

You have many questions--all of which I consider side issues.

BiblicalScholarship.net is based on one thing--the scriptures.

When I come to something in life, I determine what the Bible has to say about it and then act accordingingly--I always say, "Amen" to the Bible.

I don't believe you do that. From you I hear, "*I* don't see anything wrong with giving gifts at Christmas." Who cares what you think? What do the scriptures say?

When did you first hear that tv is evil? How long before you stopped watching it? How about Christmas--when did you first see from the scriptures that it was evil? How long before *you* decided to not have a Christmas tree?

What you write to me about are the side issues. BiblicalScholarship.net is simply a compilation of things I learned as a result of one book--the scriptures. As an issue comes up in the scriptures, I believe it and just do it. I don't sit on it. What you are reading on that website is in concentrated form. Things learned over years. Your questions to me could never cease and you'd be no closer to God and his word. And then that good thing becomes death to you.

I said to you this past summer that you still don't believe that the Bible is enough. You never acknowledged that comment. If you write back, that is the only thing I want to hear about. That and this email. The side issues that you mention are so sterile when I answer you. If your mind were right, BiblicalScholarship.net would be a joy and you'd find yourself bringing to that altar. But for you it is just tips which is something that has been despicable to me for years--pre-dating our current communications. This is not created for people to pick and choose over God's good things. It is shared to open up another world FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE AND CLING TO AND CLEAVE TO THE WORD WITH A HOLY VIOLENCE. Something that you have not, and as far as I can tell, do not do. The quesitons to ask yourself--

Is M. right here or wrong? Have I immediately acknowledged and acted on what the Bible says or have I acted based on what I want to do?

*Have I loved fairy tales and little house on the prairie and decided that they were okay or did I look at the scriptures to guide what I was feeding my children?

*Am I willing to put down every book--including Andrew Murray--so that I can only read the Bible and do what it says?

*Am I willing to stay off of the internet and just focus on the scriptures (I was off of the internet for a year and thought I'd never get back on.)?

*If I am willing, will I do it and only read the Bible?

This is what I will discuss with you. No more side issues and rabbit trails. Not that your questions have not been substantial in their own right, but you have a root problem and if it is not dealt with, you will be ever needy and unable to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Maybe you don't like this assessment, but it is true--and in these days you may not come across it like this again. Take heed while you can. You can learn every little thing on BiblicalScholarship.net and be further away from the truth than ever. It is not a place of tips. You have to believe the word and clean up your house (your mind, your grievous errors as regards you going with what *you* think and what *you* want). I won't discuss anything else with you, but this until this is settled. And there is really nothing to discuss. Look at it full in the face and when you acknowledge and repent of what you have done (going with your own mind instead of the scriptures) then we'll be in a position to communicate. If you do not do this, you will forever be on the outside. M.
