Kathy, One Question ............................ Do you use sources extra-Biblical sources without checking to see if what they say is so (Biblical)? Some things are tougher to check out ... one reason is because of tradition. But, when someone presents other view - I want to check it out. Searcher |

No Searcher, I do not use sources, extra-Biblical sources without checking to see if what they say is Biblically sound? Such behavior would be wreckless and callous on my part. That is why I take such offense at such a notion. (I have no idea where you ever came to such an assumption) I usually start by pondering the question posed, then (if no scripture is used) I will first search the scripture, to see what the word says on the topic, and test it against my own beliefs. Sometimes the Word will prove my understanding to be totally erroneous, and other times, confirmed. If the query, is in opposition to my understanding, I will not only re-read,and reconsider the scripture, and those that are comparably linked and possibly referenced, I will oftentimes check the history to ascertain what may have been happening at that time concerning the verse. I will reference study material (including the expounders commentaries) to increase my understanding. If the poser of the question persistenly insist that my understanding is in fact flawed, that is when I research the linking scriptures further as well as pull out most of my resources, not so much to prove that I am in fact correct, but to be assured that I am really understanding what is being said. And more often than not, I pray for God's guidance in how to approach the subject at hand. I am not a traditionalist or a very religious person by most standards. Yet I do not discount some of the value in these modes of Christianity. I can only assure you that I love the word and the scriptures to me is a greatest story of Love. As I said before I have not come to discount your view, but only to add mine to the conversation. To you in His Love, -Kathy |

Kathy ... I came up with the idea that you don't check the Bible based on your comments about since it is passive it is of divine initative (Acts 20:7). However, I do believe you check the Bible, as the Beareans did (Acts 17:11), so that one surprised me. Searcher | ||||||

Searcher, Again I can only apologize for the confusion and chaos that the particular post served up. My point would have been better made, using the 2nd Chapter of Acts "all of it." But I did not write the article (which is no excuse since I posted an excerpt from it), my true objective was to simply highlight within it why I worshipped on sunday and not saturday. (Although we do have a intercessory prayer service on Saturdays). Our congregation does have what we call weekend services though, since many have to work on sundays or have other obligations. Let us magnify the Lord together! To you in the Love of Christ, -Kathy |
