1 | Right vs Righteous | NT general Archive 1 | Hank | 51468 | ||
Hello, Mommapbs. You asked "Are we...putting words in God's mouth? [in order to be 'right' instead of righteous] ...... Well, perhaps it's the other way around: not necessarily putting words IN God's mouth but taking some of them OUT -- that is, carefully selecting a few 'pet' verses pulled out of their natural context that may SEEM to support one's pre-conceived notions about a topic -- salvation comes readily to mind -- while glossing over other. clearer passages that, taken in the full context of Scripture, firmly refute the pre-conceived notion. I doubt that there would be so much bad theology being paraded as the truth if men and women would (or could!) abandon the egotistic burden of having to be 'right', of having to interpret every passage of Scripture in such a way that it 'fits' their own scheme, and of having to 'prove' every communion in all of Christendom wrong but their own. --Hank | ||||||
