1 | let us put the words of Christ first. | Matt 24:30 | M.Royal | 188841 | ||
Coming in the Clouds, Jesus states that he is coming in the clouds to gather his elect. Rev.1:7 states that every eye shall see him. Now according to Jesus he states that this is after the tribulation, nowhere in the scripture, does this change. Matt.24:29-31. It is written that if any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholsome words even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, he is proud nowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whreof cometh envy strife, railings, evil surmisings. 1 Timothy 6:3,4. I hope that we will as commanded, not put any man above that which is written but to accept the words of christ and his doctrine. Yours Sincerely M.Royal |

Hello M.Royal, I will gladly not put your words "above that which is written" but rather "accept the words of christ and his doctrine." You can get off your hobby-horse now. Time to move on to matters of Christian maturity. Hebrews 6:1-2 (ESV) Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.

Hello Steve, Since I have used none other than that which is written, and will continue to do so, if this is what you refer to as my "hobby horse" then I will stay on, as it was important for Christ and the apostles to teach it. The questions I have been asked have been answered according to the scriptures are you saying that you did not understand the scripturs given, because it is not mine but the word of God. the only way to understand what is written is to compare scripture with scripture. There is no use expecting to get any other answer than that which is explained therein. M.Royal |

'The Perils of Prooftexting and How to Avoid Them' 'If you think you're on safe theological ground because of a pet verse, better look twice. Simple prooftexting has its perils. Here's how to avoid them. (...) 'Virtually every Christian with a theological point of view thinks his view is scriptural. Why shouldn't he? He has a prooftext he can quickly quote in his defense. 'If you're not careful, though, simply picking out a verse that seems to support your view may result in pitting one text against another, creating an apparent contradiction. This may be satisfying for the moment because the verse affirms your pet doctrine. But your take on the passage may be wrong, and the conflict created with other texts undermines the authority of the Bible in general. 'Part of what we do on the radio show is dispute different theological views. A caller gives me his opinion and cites supporting verses. I can almost hear him settling back in his chair and folding his arms. His work is done, or so he thinks. 'My verses say one thing; his appear to say another. As long as he can find a verse that--at least at first glance--supports his view, he's satisfied. Whenever the issue comes up, he can simply quote his pet text. 'Taking a casual approach to prooftexting doesn't solve the conflict. It merely intensifies it. How? Because, as I mentioned, when my verses say one thing and his appear to say another if we simply camp on our verses we affirm a contradiction. 'So how do we solve this problem? We keep one goal in mind. Our question should be, "What does the Bible teach?", not simply "What does our verse seem to teach?" How do we learn what the Bible teaches? By choosing an interpretation that makes the best sense out of all the relevant verses. 'That takes more work than simple prooftexting. If there's an apparent conflict, we must try to solve it. It is not enough to point to a verse that supports our position. If all of the Bible is God's Word and without error, then we must also consider the scriptural evidence that seems contrary to our theology and attempt to factor it into our answer...' ____________________ To read more go to: www.str.org/free/ solid_ground/SG9909.htm (For additional information go to: www.str.org At that website, under "Search Stand to Reason", enter the words: never read a Bible verse) |

Hello Kalos, You are right in saying that we may have different opinions, however we must be sure that what we believe is not contrary to that which is written or gives a different message. Yours sincerely M.Royal |
