2 | Contemporizing Christians Message? | 2 Tim 4:2 | DocTrinsograce | 205868 | ||
I'm still ACKing... but Ben Patterson ACKs with a bit more perspicuity: "This particular temptation used to be the sole province of the liberal theological tradition. But in the past few years, it has gained a number of victims in the evangelical community ... The sin courted in this temptation is the presumption that it is the Bible that is dead and we who are alive ... Is the Bible relevant? Dr. Bernard Ramm once remarked, 'There is nothing more relevant than the truth.' The longer I preach, the more convinced I become that the best thing I can do is simply get out of Scripture's way." |

Dear Doc, Exactly, the liberal theology gives the interpreter more leeway in their interpretations rather than making the bible their plumbline. Their interpretations have to line up with the bible not the other way around. This is why context is so crucial and why the further we get from the literal texts the closer we get to error. One example is if I wrote someone a letter and they pulled out one line of my letter. They could bend it to whatever form they like. This is what many news medias do. They bend a comment to their particular liking. The author of the line in frustration says that is not what I meant at all. Blessings, Val |
