1 | Criticisms please. | Matt 14:13 | DocTrinsograce | 158102 | ||
Hi, Caloy! It is refreshing to see someone seek historico-grammatical exegetical material. I believe commentaries are helpful, but they shouldn't be our primary source. Be sure to exert the mental sweat yourself, and come back to the commentary to be sure you haven't strayed too far off base! I am persuaded that that is the kind of study of Scripture that God desires us to do. Of course, one must do this with the abilities and tools at hand. To me, John Gill provides a wonderful source of historical and textual background for any given passage. Besides that, his orthodoxy is will be more sound than the other suggestions you've received. http://www.studylight.org/com/geb/ In Him, Doc |

2 | Criticisms please. | Matt 14:13 | Robin Hass | 158159 | ||
Dear DocTrinsograce, You wrote of Gill, 'that, his orthodoxy is will be more sound than the other suggestions you've received.' I wrote 'On what grounds do you doubt the soundness of John Nolland.' There is no way I am misquoting you. Robin |

Dear Robin, Are we having fun yet? :-) Doc quote: "John Gill ... his orthodoxy is will be more sound than the other suggestions you've received." (sic) Subject: John Gill's orthodoxy Rob: "On what grounds do you doubt the soundness of John Nolland" Subject: John Nolland's soundness Common sense reading. I have never actually commented on John Nolland's soundness (whatever that means), nor do I doubt his soundness, nor have I ever said I doubted his soundness. I am not even sure what soundness in this context might mean. Human soundness usually has to do with health. Perhaps you meant to ask me, "In what way is John Gill more soundly orthodox than John Nolland?" Expecting that that is what you actually meant to ask, I answered that question in post #158127. 1. Test of time: John Gill's commentary has been under careful scrutiny for about 340 plus years. 2. Experience: John Gill was a pastor of what later became the Metropolitan Tabernacle for 51 years. 3. Orthodoxy: John Gill affirmed in his theological writings the Baptist confessions of faith published in the 17th century. (Compare, for example, the Trinity Theological College statement of faith to the 1644 London Baptist Confession of Faith.) I'm certain that Nolland would agree with these three statements. I'll contact him if you like. In Him, Doc |
