1 | Rowdy, Rowdy, are you sure? | 1 Tim 2:9 | DocTrinsograce | 132397 | ||
I was not referring to anything specific, Brother Tim. Today there is a tendency to compromise truth for peace or unity. I can broadly describe some of these false teachings that are too frequently tolerated. Fundamentally they would include anything contrary to the following: 1. The Bible (66 books of the canon) alone is the ultimate authority, fully containing the will of God, and are fully sufficient to a man for salvific purposes. That all writings of men are inferior to the divine scriptures. That neither custom, multitudes, antiquity, succession of times or persons, theories, councils, decrees, or statutes are always of inferior value to the Word of God. (Psalm 119:18; 138:2; II Timothy 3:14-17) 2. That all of life is to be lived under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Every activity of the Christian is to be sanctified to the glory of God. (1 Corinthians 10:31; 1 Peter 4:11; Revelation 1:6; 7:12; 2 Peter 3:1; Ephesians 3:21; Romans 11:36) 3. That Jesus Christ is the sole mediator between God and man. Christ having stepped in and taken the punishment and judgment that was due sinners. With His own blood He expiated the sins that made these sinners enemies of God, fully satisfying Him. Christ alone is the source of divine favor and fatherly love. (1 Timothy 2:5-6; Colossians 1:13-18) 4. The regenerate's righteous standing before God is imputed by grace because of the work of Christ Jesus our Lord and not by any self-merit. Christ's sacrifice for them made a proper, real, and full satisfaction to God's justice on their behalf. That justification is only of free grace to and for God's great glory. (Ephesians 1:3-8) 5. That this salvific faith, resting wholly on Christ and His righteousness, is the sole instrument of justification. It is not alone in the regenerate, but is accompanied by good works done in love (though these deeds do not justify). (Galatians 3:6-11) I'd also include any doctrine contrary to the Nicene Creed. |

Doc That is a nice and long worded explanation. However it does not address the issue of your usage of heresy and apostasy as possible reasons for why I may be sensitive to you. Now you made the charge that possibly one of the reasons I was sensitive to you was your refusal to accept heresy or apostasy. Where does that leave me in your eyes or in the eyes of the readers of this forum? That I accept heresy or apostasy and the fact you don’t puts animosity between us? Or possibly you meant I was trying to get you to accept heresy and/or apostasy and since you won’t I have singled you out to pick on? Or I’m so bound in heresy or apostasy to the point of I’m darkness and you being light can have no fellowship? Before we go one step further show me where anything I said, hold to be true, have expressed in anyway contradicts, conflicts or derides the five points you list or the Nicene Creed. You talk about respect but you make remarks like this and when asked for an explanation you give no reason for their usage. You used the words now explain what you meant and don’t run around town with your explanation. EdB |

Brother Ed, I was answering Tim's request for expansion on what I thought of as heresy and apostasy. Are you going to see yourself in every single post I make? I think highly of you, sir, but honestly, I do not think of you to the exclusion of all else. | ||||||

Doc Your artful at dodging a question and not giving a direct answer. Here is your statement made to me. Please explain you usage of heresy and apostasy in that statement. "Sir, I do not know the root cause of your sensitivity toward me. Perhaps it comes from my inability to happily accept heresy and apostasy as suitable bed-fellows with the truth. Perhaps it comes from my screen name. Perhaps it is something else entirely. I do not know. But I do know this: your sensitivity is causing you to feel offense when none is intended. I have prayed and searched my conscience as I composed this post.” This isn't something directed at Tim this is word for word what you said to me. Secondly you said, "I understood your comments to indicate that extrapolating doctrine from Biblical narratives was a valid method for you in your tradition." Let me ask you came to that conclusion when I never even hinted at that. What I said was " Doctrines derived by exegesis and hermeneutic if done properly will never conflict with the whole of scripture but rather will stand in complete agreement with the whole of scripture. And further it will do so without the need to reinvent definitions or explain away conflicting words or situations." Again your response wasn't to Tim it was directed at me. Incidently Tim responded your you post to me asking you what you meant. So yes I think I do see myself in it. EdB |
