Re: Believing in a Lie
PreacherMe... I first found AFF at a time in my life when I was questioning the whole gambut of the standard issue myself. I too am a third generation Pentecostal, mine and my husband's family are all Oneness Pentecostal, and we have several ministers in our immediate family.
That being said, growing up OP, I had studied all the holiness standard scriptures, and never questioned them. Holiness was never an issue for me, and I am a woman. Yes, the standards do tip the scales in the woman's direction, but even at that, I never questioned them.
You are probably asking, what happened? Well, I began a time of serious fasting, and prayer, and asking the Lord if there was more than what I had. I was hungry for more of Him, and less of myself. As I spent time fasting and praying, I began reading scriptures as if I had never seen them before. The Lord began to open things to me that I had read all my life, and yet never really understood.
I happened upon AFF during such a time. Much of what is posted here is in fun, and it is more of a community than anything, but, there are still things you can learn from other points of view, which challenge your own, and cause you to search it out for yourself.
I hope that if you are really, truly hungry for more of the Lord, and more understanding than you have now, that you will turn to the Lord with all your heart in fasting, and prayer, and ask the Lord Jesus to guide you, and help you. You won't find your answers here, or anywhere else, if you don't spend time on your own knees with your own bible, and begin pushing back the plate.
Ultimately, Ferd is right, even if I may be trying to say it in a different way. The answers you are searching for won't be found on this forum. They will be found when you seek after the Lord with all your heart, and determine in your mind that the Word of God is the final answer in your life, and that as HE leads, you will follow.
God Bless You Brother!
