Oakspear- Greetings from the land of surf & sunshine. I appreciate your responses. You are honest. I was ex -commed from TWI in the late 80's. personal choice . It's very obvious you have serious issues with TWI- maybe you are right. Personally , I have always tried to seperate the Word that I was taught from the rest of the crap that occured.( and in agreement, there was plenty of it) I have noticed though that by working what I was taught through the previously mentioned principals that I have "seen " some very incredible insights. You don't seem to agree, well OK. I want the Word rightly divided. I did make a major commitment to God & his Word at one time in my life and I do not want to lose sight of that commitment. That is why I decided to stick to that Word and see if it is really so. God Bless

Oakspear- Thank you for the dictionary def. I am sure that you are correct. My point,though, is that sometimes I have a tendency to read over things without paying close attention to what it says.I am sure that I am not alone in that respect. Hey!- I used to live in Omaha- sure was cold in the winter.

Well. I did not mean to start a firestorm. "Like Mike" , several years ago I decided to apply the principals taught in the PFAL series such as "read what is written" (remember throughly vs. thoroughly);to whom it is written(paying attention to such things as personal pronouns, etc)where it is used before( tracing words through the series). My primary objective was to not do "pre-concieved research but instead to see what it actually said( which I never took the time to do in the Corps training). I was intrigued by what I saw and actually read quite a few statements that I had never seen before although they were always right there in the books.This has opened my eyes to some great understanding concerning "The Word of God" This is what brings me to realize that there is a difference between the five senses understanding and the spiritual understanding. So, I am not attempting to tell anybody what they should do,I would like to challenge people to try mastering The PFAL series this way and you will be surprised at what you will "see". If this does not interest you,then please disregard this posting .- God Bless ya"

firebee- yep, been there, done that-used to be a social worker-cya!

I'm glad that I was not expecting a positive response. You folks are a tough crowd!. Bye the way, Abagail- My own life is wonderful: great family, fellowship ,great job. good surf and a God whose Word I understand. Love Ya' all

To all YOU wonderful (ex?)who think that Mike is so far off base. WHY DON'T YOU TRY MASTERING THE PFAL SERIES . DO YOU GUYS REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE "FIVE SENSES" UNDERSTANDING AND THE "SPIRITUAL" UNDERSTANDING, PFAL HAS BOTH. SAME WORDS, DIFFERENT UNDERSTANDING. ONLY BY MASTERING IT WILL YOU BE ABLE TO DISCERN THE DIFFERENCE. THE CHALLENGE IS YOURS- GOD BLESS
