1 | How do we know that we are truly saved? | 1 John 3:24 | Pastor Glenn | 141770 | ||
Hello Russ, "While there is good in all of the Scriptures, there is more to Christianity than just the scriptures. We mustn’t get lost in that. ...." Here is more scripture: 2 Tim 3 16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 2:15 (New King James Version) Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. You are right, there is more to Christianity than the scriptures, but that is like saying that there is more to a house than just a foundation. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Glenn |

Greetings Pastor Glenn Oh, I'm very aware of 2 Tim 3:16. It's one of the verses that I first point to when I'm teaching the Bible to younger people. Did you read the Rev. Spurgeon's sermon? He has a great sermon on faith, and although he has references to passages in the sermon, in the body of the sermon proper he has no actual references to specific scriptures. At the beginning of the sermon he does reference one and only one verse: John 4:48. The Rev. Spurgeon was one of the greatest preachers to ever live (IMHO), and he didn't think it was necessary to footnote every though that he spoke about. (OH, if you print that sermon, it's 25 pages long.) Your brother in Christ, Russ |

Dear brother Russ, Please understand why we are harping on the importance of scripture. Do you understand the danger in minimizing the importance of scripture? Do you realize how your statements are being perceived? I am sure that you have heard of the church denomination that chose a homosexual man to the office of Bishop. Well, that decision came a few years after they began to minimize the importance of the Holy Scriptures. You must understand the danger here: 2 Tim 3 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
