2 | Can it be wrong when it feels so right? | Rom 12:2 | Hank | 150624 | ||
Katebote: Your question: "Would it be wrong to believe something about the author of the Bible that couldn't be backed up with Scripture?" .... My answer, yes, Katebote, it would be very wrong. It would be presumption. It would be speculation. And there is no reason on earth to assume it would have an ounce of truth in it. The Bible says, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect" (Romans 12:2). Pray tell me how is man to know what the will of God is except by the word of God, the book we call the Bible? Where does faith in God come from? By believing what we want to believe about Him? No! The seminal source of faith is ultimately the word of God. The Bible says, "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God" (Romans 10:17). --Hank | ||||||
3 | Diversity of interpretation leeway? | Rom 12:2 | katebote | 150636 | ||
Thanks Hank 2nd Tim 3:16 does seem to support this view. So why is there so much disagreement as to the Bibles interpretation and can there be a certain amount of leeway givin by God for this diversity of interpretations? | ||||||
4 | Diversity of interpretation leeway? | Rom 12:2 | Hank | 150639 | ||
Sorry, katebote, but I can answer neither of your questions because both call for speculation. As for the first, "why is there so much disagreement as to the Bible's interpretation?" my "answer" is that I simply don't know. ...... And to the second, "can there be a certain amount of leeway given by God for this diversity of interpretations" I will have to say honestly that I am far from being capable to speak as an oracle of God. .... The very best I can do is to commend to you for your attention and study what the Bible says: "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (2 Timothy 2:15). --Hank | ||||||
