1 | Contradictions in Bible Study | 2 Tim 3:16 | EdB | 232519 | ||
In a discussion on another subject we explored contradictions that are created within scripture depending on our interpretation of scripture. I think we all agree scripture does not contradict itself. My question is when we come across these situations where apparent contradictions seem to exist how should be handle them? |

God's day to you, EdB, Man points out where they think there is contradictions ... but a study of Scripture will prove otherwise. S |

Searcher56 I think it is more than man points out contradictions. I believe the problem is more exegesis/interpretation. There are contradictions generated by misses in translation or copying and that is not what I'm talking about. What I talking about is where our interpretation of a passage results in a contradiction in our interpretation of another passage. How do we resolve these? Do we simply ignore the contradiction? Do deny that there is a contradiction? Do we charge those that point out the contradictiion as heretics and/or trouble makers? Or do we say something is wrong I either misinterpreted that verse or I'm misinterpreting this verse? What happens when both verses viewed separately support commonly accepted teaching? Could the commonly accepted teaching been wrong all along? Or do we throw up our hands and say I'm no theologian I don't know? |

EdB, One of the issues is interpetation. All sides may be on solid ground ... or not. We all can be misinterpreting, even theologians. Sometimes because there is lack of study. The commonly accepted teaching can be wrong. It may be because people accept tradition or let it influence their view. There are texts it is wise to say "I don't know" ... even if one is a theologian/ expert. As I am preparing to teach Revelation, I see all this. We are at Rev 2:18 on Sunday, after 16-17 lessons. I always prefer to chew on Scripture without looking at what others say. Searcher |
