I agree that such an extension would be absurd. Pelikan said tradition preceded what was written, not that all things written were derived from tradition. |

Psalm 46:8-9 "Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth" Psalm 55:20-22 "My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant. His speech is smooth as butter, yet war is in his heart; his words are more soothing than oil, yet they are drawn swords." Isaiah 2:4 "He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore." 2 Corinthians 10:3 "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does" Your turn, please do likewise for Mr. Calvin's remarks. |

Consider the book of Acts. The events therein happened before the book was written, correct? To argue otherwise is to suggest Acts is fiction, not history. Acts itself records traditions that were established at the time of the very first christian community, before the book was written, no? Is that logically necessary or merely speculation? |

There was nothing intended to be hermaneutic in my apology to you, which it seems, you have not accepted nor forgiveness granted. As for forum guidelines, your reminder to the initiator of this thread is conspicously absent... |

As I said, that would be absurd. Hence, I conclude it must not be what Pelikan intended, for he is a historian of good repute, as well as a seminarian with advanced degrees, as reported here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaroslav_Pelikan As is commonly understood in the field of hermaneutics or literary criticism, one's reading of an author reflects more about you than the author. On a happy note, I offer this quote of Pelikan's "If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen -- nothing else matters." For those who want scriptural support for this quote, see 1 Corinthians 15:14 "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." |

One of my concerns is whether forum guidelines are invoked uniformly without regard to the diversity of opinion that may reasonable be seen as within the scope of the forum, yet not embraced by some members. Also, there are instances in which the motive, character or faith of another person have been impugned, yet clearly, forum guidelines forbid attacking another person. Yet no one seems to have a problem with this. Or, the inclusion of sources deemed unworthy by some membes, perhaps because they are contemporary expressions of faith, are ridiculed. (e.g. the book of Tada, etc) Even in your last post, you criticized my choice of poems ("not one of his best, by the way") demonstrating your superior literary acumen, as if that is somehow relevant. And finally, while I have posted ideas from many sources, I have always qualified my remarks in order to maintain the primacy of the AUTHORITY of scripture, never demanding that the point under consideration is necessarily correct, or that other ideas may not have merit. It is ironic that when I proposed a voluntary thread in which only questions, or responses comprising scripture only, be posted, several people vigorously objected on the mistaken ground that context was excluded, or that extra-scriptual commentaries and explanations are somehow necessary. The problem is, forum guidelines do not provide an approved reading list, or a list of authors who are banned. My thought with that post was merely to provide a place in which the problems I have described are not as likely. |

Thank you for your kind reply. I suppose Pelikan might suggest, for the books of the OT, that the same dynamic of unwritten practiced tradition preceded the writing of those books as a well. It is important to note that Pelikan never says such traditions differ from what scripture describes, or that the reliability or authority of scripture is somehow in question. |

Please refer me to where the scriptural foundations for those particular quotes, as established and summarized by the church-at-large, may be found. Thanks! |

233 | how to interpret scripture? | 2 Tim 3:16 | Parable | 87132 | ||
What is the literal interpretation of the following statement? "Mary had a little lamb." Let's start with just three of the possible meanings of the word "had". Mary (possessed) a little lamb. Mary (owned) a little lamb. Mary (ate) a little lamb. For each of these 3 interpretations, there is a variation in overall meaning that depends on the emphasis of the other words. MARY had a little lamb. (Mary, not Martha) Mary HAD a little lamb. (in the past, but not now) Mary had A little lamb. (only one, not many) Mary had a LITTLE lamb. (little, not big) Mary had a little LAMB. (a lamb, not a calf) If the statement is interpreted in non-literal ways, such as secret code, metaphor, allegory, etc, even more meanings can be articulated. Clearly, reliable interpretation depends on the author's purpose and method, the context in which the sentence apprears, the intended audience, skilled translation and the interpreter's perspective. In light of all these issues, some argue that we cannot know the true meaning of the Bible. I disagree, not because these issue are not real, but rather because they are mostly used to justify unbelief. That is, instead of interpreting their experiences in terms of God's truth, some interpret God's truth in terms of their experiences. Instead, we should remain humble, mindful of these issues as we study God's Word, knowing that our shortcomings are usually a result of our seeing only what we want to see. In this way, we can avoid ascribing meanings that happen to fit our agendas, that deceive or confuse us, or that dismiss our sinful acts. Parable |

My experience has been that the fruits of the Spirit blossom as I surrender myself to the Lord's ongoing work of sanctifying me. Through Him, I discover things about myself that I could never have learned from introspection, pop-psychology or self-discipline, and these truths help clear my path to Him. |
