1 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Searcher56 | 191872 | ||
Scripture ... Luk 24:25-27, 44-49, Jhn 20:9-10, Jam 1:2-8 ... God's day to you, Parable, If you read James 1:5, in its CONTEXT (at least vv 2-8), it is not about general wisdom, but specific wisdom for endurance in trials. CONTEXT is important in Luke 24:45, too (vv 44-49). The 11 didn't understand yet (John 20:9-10). He did it earlier (Luk 24:25-27). Searcher |

3 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Searcher56 | 191894 | ||
You FAILED to get my point ... you want to use Scripture only, citing Scripture that was out of CONTEXT. Do you understand? | ||||||
4 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Parable | 191896 | ||
I never said not to provide the scriptural context, indeed, it would be irresponsible not to. All I am proposing is this: Instead of superimposing interpretation or explanation onto scripture, simply provide the necessary verse you think answers the question and whatever other verses are necessary to provide the appropriate context, all without embellishments. Why not let God's Word speak for itself? |

5 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Searcher56 | 191914 | ||
Once more ... you cited Luke 24:45 and James 1:5 in your first post in this thread. However, I proved that you took these verses out of context. Therefore, if you want to cite onlt Scripture, you must know the context, else it is pretext. Moreover, some people need interpetation, just in Nehemiah 8, as well it is part of teching (Acts 18:25, et. al.). Do not cite verses out of context. |

6 | Scripture alone? | James 1:5 | Parable | 191934 | ||
Your point is well taken, context is important. Yet, I submit the context in which I cite Luke 24:45 and James 1:5 is appropriate, that context being this forum. You say that to quote scripture out of context is pretext, which means "something serving to conceal plans; a fictitious reason that is concocted in order to conceal the real reason". Given this, what is the problem with introducing this thread with the idea that Jesus opened the minds of his disciples so they may understand scripture and that God will provide wisdom to those who ask? I note that there are other instances in scripture in which the truth of God's word is revealed by Him, not our own understanding. Sincerely, Parable |
