1 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | Morant61 | 64228 | ||
Greetings FTimA! If I may, the point that Brad is making is simply that not all statements in Scripture teach doctrine. Some verses simply record history, ect... For instance, Ps. 14:1 says, "The fool says in his heart, ??There is no God.? They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good." To take this statement of the fool and use it to teach that there is really no God would be a gross misuse of a verse of Scripture. In the same way, narrative statements don't necessarily mean that something should be done a certain way, they simply record what was done. Any value judgement about a particular action must be based upon declarative statements of Scripture. We are not baptized because Peter was baptized. We are baptized because Christ commanded us to be baptized. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | "ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED"!!! | Matt 22:37 | FTimA | 64234 | ||
I agree with this 100 percent. I watched a video on New Testament Christianity and the man who presented the lessons began with two verses. The first was Matthew 27:5 speaking of Judas, "And he threw the pieces of silver into the temple sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself." The second one is Luke 10:37, "Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do likewise." The point is yes, not all scripture is doctrine. The skill is "rightly dividing" doctrine, things we must do, from other things such as history, geneologies, etc. |
