1 | I NEED A TRUE FRIEND THAT IS A CHRISTIAN | Bible general Archive 3 | MWLaine | 181346 | ||
How to respond??? Thank you Doc for your concern. I am clueless as to what you mean "to teach that experiences can lead us to right conclusions about the work of God." I don't think I alluded to that at all in my encouragment of MommieSadie but you must think so. Also, I am not knowing why you feel the need to use a subtle threat about the terms of use in Lockman's SBF but I am sure you might wish to enlighten me. Nevertheless when I find a wounded man(or woman) lying in the road I feel a compulsion to take care of that person. Maybe a review of the tale of the good Samaritan would be in order for your future Study Bible Forum. As in Proverbs does the wise man accept rebuke? Yes he does!!! But did you give me anything I could gnaw on? NOPE. Also your use of "We in the forum" must make you believe I am not included as one who believes in the supreme authority of the Scriptures. Pure hubris. Be careful...Prov 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, And a haughty spirit before stumbling. Now if you were David, and knowing that I have just thrown a stone at you, would you have your soldier kill me? Yours in Christ, MWLaine |

Dear MWLaine, Retracting the experientialism statement of your fourth paragraph of post #181269 is helpful. Lockman's emphasis on the authority of Scripture gives us a solid foundation from which to work together in our study. We want to be very careful to avoid teaching people that they can draw the truth from any other source than the Word. Consequently we follow the example of Christ Himself by asserting "It is written!" The world uses words like "feel," "suppose," "experience," and "opinion." Ours is a faith built on the solid rock of the revealed Word of God (Hebrews 1:1-2). It is also encouraging to see someone respond in a Christ-like fashion to correction rooted in the Word (1 Thessalonians 2:13). The fruit of the Spirit doesn't speak to goose bumps, emotions, or experiences. :-) When a single person responds to the Word, that is clearly evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit, far more so than thousands of people feeling something! Thank you for your post. In Him, Doc |
