RE>>seem to think that you have received God's grace because of your ability to memorize scripture. << That is a false witness TD. I have said over and again and even in the last post that I did not receive the Grace of God because of any quality seen or foreseen within me. I know scripture because the Holy Spirit brings it to my mind. John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance , whatsoever I have said unto you. There is nothing good in me ( that is in my flesh ) that caused God to choose to save me. Indeed , I have repeatedly stated that I was far from easy to save but that all things are easy for God. In fact I can't remember what I did 2 weeks ago most of the time but the scriptures stick to my mind like a magnet! I have been in situations where I was witnessing to someone and was speaking scriptures I could not remember having ever read and I was as much a listener as the one to whom I was speaking ( maybe more how would I know ) I went home and looked them up to see where they were. They were there alright and it was evidence to me that God was truly saving the person to whom I witnessed or I would not have spoken those verse by the power of the spirit rather than my memory. ( although I may have read them and forgot until then, I cannot say for sure. ) You are quite wrong to say what you have said... thinking that I trust my ability to memorize is a joke. I have one o f the worst memories I know and the people I work with are quite often frustrated with me for not being able to remember working on a project only days earlier or being able to answer their questions. I have to concentrate very hard to remember jobs and details the minute I finish doing my part I go on to the next and forget. I quite often wonder if I am in early stages of Alzeimers. One fellow I work with told me that he heard that aluminum cans can cause Alzeimers so he sucks on them nighty to forget. They are however usually full of beer at the time. :-}
