1 | INDIVIDUALISTIC Bible reading unbiblical | Eph 4:11 | kalos | 118762 | ||
"INDIVIDUALISTIC reading of the Bible is unbiblical." Holman Christian Standard Bible. Ephesians 4:11-12 And He personally gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and TEACHERS, for the training of the saints in the work of ministry, to build up the body of Christ, (emphasis added) 'The Scriptures themselves demand, and the Lord supplies, teachers to help the church understand God's Word. This does not negate the individual reading of Scripture (say, by the Ethiopian eunuch) but means that members of the body need one another in their diversity of gifts, just as the Ethiopian needed Philip. INDIVIDUALISTIC reading of the Bible is unbiblical" (emphasis added).' ("We Really Do Need Another Bible Translation" by Raymond C. Van Leeuwen, writing in Christianity Today, October 22, 2001. Van Leeuwen is professor of New Testament at Eastern College in St. Davids, Pennsylvania.) |
