I don't know if this is trying to be deceptive or out of "innocence", but that friend of mine who posts EGW quotes in his FB page and I asked him to do Scriptures, remember? the one who defriended me from FB;well it seems like he put me back and this time he is posting Scriptures. Or so he wants to make believe. Here is his last quote

quote:

1 Corinthians 13:12............ For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known................ In the light that shines from the throne, mysteries will disappear, and the soul will be filled with astonishment at the simplicity of the things that were never before comprehended.~HS~........................Patient Faith



Notice how he starts with the quote from 1 Cor and then without warning he switches to EGW not giving credit to her. It would seem that the whole quote is from 1 Cor, and if you are the type that don't check, then you would think that the whole think is Bible.

This is what I replied to him,

quote:

that's a beautiful verse, however, I tried in several versions and cannot find the last part where you say, "In the light that shines from the throne..." Could you tell me in what Bible version is that 1 Cor 13:12? Thanks.




To me this is deceptive.

Exactly so, Hec. You are correct. Good for you for calling him on it in a way that will hold him accountable without being hostile!

As I recall, the serpent was more subtle than the other beasts.

Great catch!

It's a quote from "The Faith I Live By" pg. 15
