Greetings Adtcross! I'm not sure I understand your position well enough to judge it. :-) I was simply pointing out that any position based upon a hard fast distinction between 'disobey' and 'unbelief' might be shaky since the word can mean either. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim and atdcross: By posting the following quote, I am not siding with or against anyone in this discussion. I am merely pointing out a principle of biblical interpretation. 'Words have different meanings in different contexts (that's what makes puns work). When we consider a verse in isolation, one meaning may occur to us. But how do we know it's the right one? Help won't come from the dictionary. Dictionaries only complicate the issue, giving us more choices, not fewer. Help must come from somewhere else close by: the surrounding paragraph. 'With the larger context now in view, you can narrow your focus and speculate on the meaning of the verse itself.' ____________________ www.str.org |
