1 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Searcher56 | 191914 | ||
Once more ... you cited Luke 24:45 and James 1:5 in your first post in this thread. However, I proved that you took these verses out of context. Therefore, if you want to cite onlt Scripture, you must know the context, else it is pretext. Moreover, some people need interpetation, just in Nehemiah 8, as well it is part of teching (Acts 18:25, et. al.). Do not cite verses out of context. |

2 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Parable | 191934 | ||
Your point is well taken, context is important. Yet, I submit the context in which I cite Luke 24:45 and James 1:5 is appropriate, that context being this forum. You say that to quote scripture out of context is pretext, which means "something serving to conceal plans; a fictitious reason that is concocted in order to conceal the real reason". Given this, what is the problem with introducing this thread with the idea that Jesus opened the minds of his disciples so they may understand scripture and that God will provide wisdom to those who ask? I note that there are other instances in scripture in which the truth of God's word is revealed by Him, not our own understanding. Sincerely, Parable |
