1 | Why are there disagreements... | 2 Tim 2:15 | kalos | 109621 | ||
With the Holy Spirit indwelling believers, why do we not all come to the same conclusions on the interpretation of various passages of Scripture? Why are there disagreements on the interpretation of Scripture? | ||||||
2 | Why are there disagreements... | 2 Tim 2:15 | Emmaus | 109628 | ||
Kalos, It seems to me your question must also be tied to the Reformation teaching of Sola Scriptura. Without any other authority such as Councils and a Magesterial authority, this problem will only get worse not better. Even the Apostles used a Council and a final auhtoritative decree to resolve such a dispute in Acts 15. Emmaus |

Hi, Emmaus; I don't intend to start a denominational debate (which our hosts wouldn't appreciate anyway). The problem is that Councils and Magesterial authorities are still men (at least to the Reformed mind). Such institutions simply move the disagreement behind closed doors. My (Reformed) denomination agrees with the value of collective wisdom in discerning the Holy Spirit's counsel. But, as you would expect, we consider the results less authoritative than Scripture because there is no Biblical basis for claiming that the results are inspired. Individual conscience - guided by the Holy Spirit - can't be ignored because we are each individually accountable to what God has revealed through his Word (not his servants). You probably disagree with me and I respect that. I just figured I'd defend the Reformation's teaching of Sola Scriptura. The answer to kalos' question, of course, ist that my crowd listened to the Holy Spirit and got it right and the rest of you just weren't paying attention! ;-) Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

Steve: You write: "The answer to kalos' question, of course, is that my crowd listened to the Holy Spirit and got it right and the rest of you just weren't paying attention!" Thank you for the most honest answer anyone could possibly give. That says it all. --kalos :-) |
