1 | Are all interpretations equal? | Rom 3:4 | Radioman2 | 81704 | ||
Some Things Are True - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'It is impossible to know the meaning of any written text. If this is true, log off the web now. If not, read this commentary to find out about self-refuting arguments.' - - - - - - - - - - - - - 'Let me give you a picture of my world, by and large, at least as it touches this particular issue. My world is a world in which thinking matters, in which there is such a thing as truth, in which truth can be known and in which we use thinking to assess ideas to determine whether they are true or not. There's really not much room in my thinking system for comments like, Well, that's just your interpretation, or just your opinion, when the emphasis is on "just." Of course it's my interpretation. Of course it's my opinion, but it's not just those things in that I'm not simply sharing my point of view, I'm sharing my reasons why I have a point of view. 'Now it could be that my opinion or my interpretation is mistaken, but the only way for me to find out whether it's mistaken or not is to get at the reasons I draw the conclusions which form either my opinion or my interpretation. I don't believe that all opinions are equal. I don't believe that all interpretations are equal . . .'

2 | Are all interpretations equal? | Rom 3:4 | Asis | 81705 | ||
Every man including you and I place a slant or bias on everything we say or write. There is only one absolute truth. We may try to explain what the Holy Spirit has revealed to us but as soon as we add commentary we introduce bias. I believe that the mark of a good teacher a teacher who is a gift from Christ does not add commentary, but teaches what God has revealed to Him. They do not teach what they have "figured" out. Their rule is Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. [6] In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. They live Romans 3:4. in fact we are not to be thinkers of the word but rather doers of the word. Our lives are to become the word. We are to be the word made flesh. not the commentary, not the website made flesh. We are to do what Jesus, God has said in His word. opr else we may hear Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. or Luke 6:46 And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? I want to hear Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. |

Asis: I appreciate your reply, but I am not sure if I understand the relevance of your Answer to my Question. Are we both talking about the same thing? Grace and peace, Radioman2 |
