1 | take up "his" cross | Luke 9:23 | Hank | 200127 | ||
Hi, Doc. Many years ago in a gathering that was advertised to be a Bible study class, the leader of that class played his version of "round-robin." He read a certain verse of Scripture and then asked each member of the class in turn "What does this verse mean to you?" As one might guess, no two members came up with exactly the same answer, the implication being that Scripture has no intrinsic meaning but depends on the reader for its meaning; and the leader of the class did nothing to discourage the class from pursuing this badly warped notion. I was young then, both in years and in the faith, and so I was not equipped to refute this inane idea. It was years later that a capable pastor set me straight and was able to disembarrass my soul of a false and damaging doctrine. I taught a Bible class for some 25 years and never did I ask, "What does this passage of Scripture mean to you?" ..... When there are two or more different interpretations of Scripture, it is possible that none of them may be right. And it is certain that all of them are not right. --Hank | ||||||
