1 | Harmonizing the Word Hermeneutically | Deut 19:21 | EdB | 243139 | ||
Using Ex 21:24 and Matthew 5:39 as supporting arguments for or against a certain theological position is very weak. Pink was a anti-dispensationalist and as such would look for holes in dispensational arguments. Certainly dispensationalist would look for holes in Pink's arguments. Fact is both sides make valid arguments and both sides contain nearly equal numbers of true faithful and brilliant Bible scholars. So what is the point of posting quotes that are nothing more than pot shots, to see if they hit something. Or using them as cheap shots in a veiled attempt to forward a certain theology without violating Lockman guidelines. Distasteful at best, violation of Lockman guidelines at worst. |

2 | Harmonizing the Word Hermeneutically | Deut 19:21 | DocTrinsograce | 243482 | ||
"Give yourself unto reading. The man who never reads will never be read; he who never quotes will never be quoted; he who will not use the thoughts of other men’s brains proves that he has no brains of his own! Brothers and Sisters, what is true of ministers is true of all our people. You need to read. Renounce as much as you will all light literature, but study as much as possible sound theological works, especially the Puritan writers, and expositions of the Bible. "We are quite persuaded that the very best way for you to be spending your leisure time, is to be either reading or praying. You may get much instruction from books which afterwards you may use as a true weapon in your Lord and Master’s service. Paul cries, 'Bring the books' [2 Timothy 4:13] --join in the cry!" --Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892) Peter quoted Moses, Peter Joel, Peter quoted David, Peter quoted Paul, Peter quoted Christ, Peter quoted God, Peter quoted the Holy Spirit; Paul quoted David, Paul quoted Isaiah, Paul quoted Solomon, Paul quoted David, Paul quoted Moses, Paul quoted Cicero, Paul quoted Jeremiah, Paul quoted Ezekiel, Paul quoted Hosea, Paul quoted Peter, Paul quoted Christ, Paul quoted God, Paul quoted the Holy Spirit; must the list go on? Angels quoted Isaiah who was quoting God. The Virgin Mary quoted as much as did Zechariah. Imagine how much we would have if we listed all the quotes of the apostle John? And all this only in the New Testament! But, what utterly clinches the deal, is the number of times that our Lord Jesus Christ used quotes; both biblical and secular. Isaiah He quoted the most; David a close second. Now the Holy Spirit quotes to us all that the Word has to say to us. Astonishing that such angry, bitter, condensention would be heaped upon quoters. |
