Dear Atdcross, You wrote, "We should not read the Bible for the purpose of formulating doctrine." From whence do you suggest that we derive our doctrine?

(2 Timothy 4:3-4) He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. (Titus 1:9) But Jesus answered them, "You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God." (Matthew 22:29) |

Please read my note ID#163927. There was no suggestion that doctrine is not derived from the Bible; but, please note, that the fact of doctrine derived from the Bible does not necessarily mean one has it correct. False doctrine can also be extracted from the Bible (2 Peter 3:15-16). Also, there was no intention to devaluate the importance of doctrine but just to place it in a - and I believe, Biblical - proper perspective. Allow me to repeat, relationship with Father, not doctrine, is the goal when studying the Bible. |

What we know, think, and do are so tightly intertwined. In Him, Doc |
