Focus On The Words, Not Our Feelings 'There is a reason God gave gifted teachers to the church: to protect us from our private, "Spirit-led" interpretations. Paul wrote "All scripture is God-breathed," (2 Timothy 3:16), graphe in Greek. The point: The writings are inspired, not the interpretation we think God is giving us. The proper role of the Holy Spirit is to illuminate what is already there in the inspired words. This is why the words should be our focus, not our feelings. (...) 'This faulty "hermeneutical trinity"–me, God, and my Bible–has an additional peril, the final pitfall. 'The Third Pitfall–Dogmatic and Unteachable Attitude 'When you are convinced your biblical insight is from God, it is very difficult to change your view, even when everyone opposes you. (...) 'The lesson for us is clear: If you don't have a sound doctrinal foundation and you don't know how to interpret the Bible accurately–especially if you think your insight is from God–you are going to be dogmatic and unteachable about conclusions that could be false.' ____________________ www.str.org/free/solid_ground/SG0011.htm |

Kalos, Well said my brother. 2 Peter 1:20,21 makes the last part of your posting quite clear.God will give us plenty of insight but will not go beyond or contradict what He has already revealed in His Word.It's imperitve that we let Gods Word to speak for itself and trust God to shed the needed light so that we can see and understand. God bless you Brother, lionheart |

Lionheart: Thanks for your good post. It reminded me of this quote: 'The greatest movement of God's Spirit in the last 1000 years was the Reformation. It was not started by a voice from God or by an assignment. It was started by a verse of Scripture: "The just shall live by faith." Martin Luther was simply listening to the only Word of God we are ever enjoined to hear, know, and obey, the Bible.' ____________________ www.str.org/free/solid_ground/S9901.htm |
