"Men must interpret to the best of their ability each particular part of Scripture separately, and then combine all that the Scriptures teach upon every subject into a consistent whole, and then adjust their teachings upon different subjects in mutual consistency as parts of a harmonious system. Every student of the Bible must do this, and all make it obvious that they do it by the terms they use in their prayers and religious discourse, whether they admit or deny the propriety of human creeds and confessions. If they refuse the assistance afforded by the statements of doctrine slowly elaborated and defined by the Church, they must make out their own creed by their own unaided wisdom. The real question is not, as often pretended, between the word of God and the creed of man, but between the tried and proved faith of the collective body of God's people, and the private judgment and the unassisted wisdom of the repudiator of creeds." --A. A. Hodge | ||||||

Amen Doc, A truth I believe, and a good quote. I'd like to just add if I may, that the Bible is not as some Christians believe and most secularists believe, an instruction book on a way "of" life, but it is a roadmap "too" life. Boil it down and the whole thing is about salvation front too back. |

Thank you, Brother John, for the confirmation. (See also 161823 on the one point, and #161823 on the other.) |

Thanks Doc, It's good to have my thoughts confirmed as well. By the way the two post #'s you gave were the same # 161823 The one does confirm both points however, was that your intention? If the answer to my Q is obvious to you, sorry if I'm being obtuse it's one of my better qualities. ;-) God bless John p.s. I'm looking forward to the article you were going to send me. |

No, the other one was supposed to be #181426. These old eyes aren't doing so very well, I'm afraid. |
