1 | Divorced Do Christians Get Remarried? | 1 Cor 6:9 | Tamara Brewington | 205397 | ||
Dear WOWS, I was making a point my good saint in answer to another one; namely this, where someone else said that Mathew had been an eye witness and that his account may have held more weight, or something to that effect, I said that (in light of that statement) Mark was written earlier - my point was not to place one scripture over another but to point out that we shouldn't do that and that each may have features which would make them, possibly to some commentators (notice I did not say to me) be more reliable accounts. For the reasons stated above some commentators (again, not me) hold one or another account of the same thing as closer to what may actually have happened. This is called critical commentary, part of an historical research to determine what actually occured. A valid reconstruction of events of the passages or surrounding events of the passages. This is not an attempt to disparage scriptures, to say that one or the other may be seen by a commentator, who is much better trained at looking at the subject at hand to determine the things I just mentioned. No one was holding scripture above another when it is all God's Word. That is not the case. This is purely about Bible Study, not preferences. God's Day To You, Tamara |

Dear Tamara, I whole heartedly agree with you that “it is about Bible study”. The very reason I wanted to comment on your post. You mention it a few other posts that it is your desire to divide the Word. I’m sure your aim it to see that it is “rightly” divided. Even if it is not your opinion that one portion of Scripture be held in higher esteem than another, when you comment as you did the implication seems to hold true to the opposite. To make or support or even hint at one scripture, book, passage or what have you, that it is more reliable, accurate or holds more weight than another, is to diminish the authority of the other scripture if one could do that. It is all divinely inspired. If that was your implication, I missed it and apologize. 2 Timothy 2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. “Observe here, 1. The word which ministers preach is the word of truth, for the author of it is the God of truth. 2. It requires great wisdom, study, and care, to divide this word of truth rightly; Timothy must study in order to do this well.” – Matthew Henry And so must we all! Stand in His grace, WOS |
