1 | Doesn't it say that God would cause evil | 2 Sam 12:11 | Reformer Joe | 15648 | ||
Completely in agreement. One of the things I remind people all the time is that the Bible is not a collection of writing merely ABOUT God, but rather a collection of writings FROM God. That alone should move believers to treat the Holy Scripures as more than some scientific journal or a human being's personal reflections on some political issue. Sadly, however, as you correctly surmise, many believers do not approach the self-revelation of God with the reverance and wonder and awe (and even FEAR?) that it merits. This includes those who claim that it is inerrant, but live their lives in such a way that shows they believe the Bible to be insufficient for them to base 21st-century decisions on it. It is the difference between believing in the Bible (i.e. holding that it is inspired by God) and believing the Bible (i.e. reverentially learning from it and doing what it says -- James 1:22-25). If we truly believe the words of 2 Timothy 3:16-17, it should change our entire attitude toward the Bible. Some in countries where believers are horribly persecuted could articulate this much better than I can from my nice comfortable office... Thanks! --Joe! |
