Hello and I'm actually signing off for the evening as it's 11pm here in Scotland but I just felt drawn to share this with the question of, do other Christians make you feel stupid?
It's a common feeling to encounter especially of you are in-experienced as a Christian and I've seen many just feel so deflated because of feeling inadequate compared to others. Well, if you believe Jesus Christ is the son of God, that he died for your sins and that he wants a close, maturing fellowship with you, then you already have the greatest revelation the Word of God has to offer. It does not matter how much you study the word of God or experience God himself, you will find no greater revelation than Jesus and Jesus on the cross for you no matter how much you hear individuals with their great teachings.
There is no nigher teaching, no higher doctrine or spectacular revelation, Jesus Christ is it! You can know much of the scriptures and still not have a true revelation of Christ, you can know the Greek and Hebrew meanings, put together great sermons and sound great and yet, still lack in the greatest revelation the word of God has to offer.
So if you do feel at times, that you don't have the knowledge like some, you take heart, you already have the greatest revelation the word of God has to offer and you will not find another. Jesus is your Lord, Saviour and best friend, nothing more, nothing less....
Sorry so back to the question....do other Christians make you feel stupid?
