Quality VS Quanity

I spent four hours with my friend who knows the Bible better than any woman I have ever met in my entire life or even heard of! I am beyond blessed to have an open door policy with her and soak up her wisdom!  She has been going for two months and I went to see her this morning! We ended up dissecting parts of the Bible for four hours!  I question question and questions some more and she shows me what the Bible said!
One thing I learned today was that quality time can not be planned! Quality time happens with quantity time.  This goes along with my family time! It is so true, when we are together for a long period of time we are so happy because so many bits of quality time and teachable moments are happening.  I also find that I do this with my spiritual walk too! I like to have all the right components when doing my studies:
1. Kids asleep or away from the house
2. House clean
3. my Ipad at hand for easy access to the Bible translations
4. two sharpened pencils
5. My notebook labeled for notes
6. Study
High maintanced I guess but I get so much out of it when I am in my element.

I really am trying really hard to be understand what I believe and why I believe in them.   The importance of baptism.  I never really put into account the importance of Apollos' teachings and what context it was in.  Paul begins Acts 18 discussing how people were believing and being baptized then it goes into how Apollos was teaching Jesus but only knew of John's baptism(the one before Jesus died/old covenant). Priscilla and Aquilla told him about God more adequately and we infer it was about the correct baptism.   Read for yourself, I believe you must be baptized to receive the HS. 

My biggest Bible question at this point is polygamy.  I don't get it it! My only understanding at this time is that it was for the purpose of being fruitful and multiplying and now it is not needed. I also know it mentions for elders and deacons to have one wife.  There are few other verses but, nothing to say it is sinful.  Looking for more answers.  I know Paul touches on it indirectly too in Cor.

One more thing I learned is the main reason the CoC doesn't use instruments! It was so revelation to me!  It has to do with the new church fulfilling the old law and now instead of using instruments, we are the instruments.  Hey, you know I love a band with worship!  It was just a big revelation for me and I feel good about it!  SO GOOD!

There was so much more and I am so happy to use this blog to share my new revelations and lessons!  Praising God!
