Being Flush With Scripture

 In construction, if something is flush, it is level.  How does someone learn to be flush with all scripture without being some sort of Bible Scholar?  Someone needs to be “In God,” or “Abide in Christ.”  I’ll point out some things.  

There has been “Smarty Pants Christianity.”  Smarty Pants Christianity involved theologians who felt they needed to create something, or were egotistical.  Given someone was too smart, too educated, were they taught wrong?  Someone may need to be an etch-a-scetch.  Shake it off.  

I don’t know.  

I don’t care.  

A Smarty Pants Christian, he may have had some doctrines.  These doctrines were not flush with scripture.  You ever been to a doctor’s office, and there are toys for toddlers there?  One particular toy has shapes.  There may have been place where a square fit, a place where a triangle fit, and place where a circle fit.  A Smarty Pants Christian may have been trying to force a square into a circle with false doctrines.  The doctrines may have sounded good to man, his peers, but were not Biblically sound, or flush with scripture.  

I don’t know.  

I don’t care.  

Who is God?  

- God is love. (1 John 4:8)

- The Lord is a Man of War. (Exodus 15:3)(Isaiah 42:13)(Mathew 10:34-37)

- As a father disciplines his son, so the Lord your God discipline you.  (Deuteronomy 8:5)

- Jesus chastises and rebukes those he loves.  (Hebrew 12:6)(Revelations 3:19)

A lot of Christians will tell you God is love.  The Lord is a man of war.  Someone who shied away from anything listed, the “shying away,” that was a Spirit.  If you felt something reading here, congratulations.  You found the spiritual.  

If someone really didn’t like some scripture, they cared.  Caring, did they have ideology or false doctrines that were more important?  That would be demonic.  

Being in God, we don’t care.  We don’t know.  God knows.  We are teachable.  We are seeking understanding, and the character of God.  

Righteous is Goodness.  Man’s righteous is like a filthy rag to God.  Not one is righteous.  In God, abiding in Christ, some of God’s righteousness may shine through over time.  

- The wicked flees when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.  (Proverbs 28:1)

In Ephesians 6:10-18 we have the armor of God.  I have been a life long Christian.  Growing up I learned about the armor of God in scripture.  I didn’t really understand the armor of God.  Abiding in Christ, I found I was being and doing.  I was a doer or The Word, and naturally in the Armor of God.  

I don’t know.  I don’t care.  Be teachable.  Seek the character of God.  Understand we have the internet.  We have instant scripture, and Bible concordance on hand towards being flush with scripture.  We are fortunate.
