1 | where do animals go when they expire? | Eccl 3:21 | rabban | 191567 | ||
You have given two references, but you clearly explain them differently from me. So how can they be self explanatory? Thus in your interpretation you are deciding what God's word says :-)))) You really cannot avoid the fact. If you do so you are not being realistic, in which case there is no point in discussing further. 'Study to show yourself approved to God, rightly dividing the word of truth.' If you are righly dividing the word of truth you are making decisions about what the word of God means :-))) Of course we compare Scripture with Scripture. That is the main method we use in deciding what the word of God is saying. But it is in fact WE who compare Scripture with Scripture, and decide which Scriptures to compare. That is the method which, hopefully guided by the Holy Spirit we use, but we still have to decide what God's word is saying. Or do you have a divine commentary which tells you exactly what it means without your having to think or research anything, and which bleeps when you fail to understand it correctly? In Him |

2 | where do animals go when they expire? | Eccl 3:21 | srbaegon | 191573 | ||
Hello rabban, No person is allowed "to decide what God's word is saying." The written word is what God wanted to say. The difference comes in how each person applies what is said. I will grant that people will each understand a passage differently. That is usually because they are attempting to fit Scripture into a preconceived framework rather than rebuilding the framework based on Scripture. Steve |
