"You and I are not the first ones to read the Bible. Christians as individuals and the church as a corporation has been hearing, meditating upon, and reading God's Word for its entire history. One of the principal fruits of that corporate reflection upon Scripture has been the church's confession of and about Scripture. When the church faced the challenge posed by Arius and his followers, she did not simply quote Scripture. She composed a confession, a summary of what she understood Scripture to teach about God. When Martin Luther stood before the Diet of Worms, he did not simply quote Scripture. He confessed the singular authority of Scripture over against the authority of popes and councils. This is the Christian practice and it is a biblical practice." --R. Scott Clark (2016) |

Dear Ed, Verses are connected to each quote. Has there been no 1 Kings 19:12 experience, according to the hermeneutic of Anabaptists, about the verse at the top of each post. Tsk. Tsk! Indeed! (cf Hosea 7:16) Perhaps casting one's eyes upward (Isaiah 51:6a), above the box being containing your own opinion, one will behold the connection. However, it does take looking up, rather than being so focused on one's own composition. (cf 2 Kings 19:30) Our gracious host, the Lockman Foundation, has given us the ability to link comments to Scripture! Thus, as they say, we can expand the marginal notes of the Word. Regardless, I am very happy that my quotes allow you at least a tiny exposure to Reformed Hermeneutic, one that would have remained neglected otherwise. God was so gracious to give us these wonderful men (Ephesians 4) for just such a purpose! Imagine, as I post and you read, Isaiah 55:11 (cf Ephesians 1:9-11), cannot but help to be fulfilled. Therefore, thank you for your close observation! In Him, Doc |

Yes I saw you cited a verse but that verse did not support the opinion being offered other than the fact they were both talking about God's word. You are taking liberties that you have denied others. That my friend is not treating others as you would have them do unto you. We all know your are a master at wordsmithing but that is not the purpose of this forum, it is to discuss the Bible. And often to effectively do that we must offer our opinion of what scripture says to us personally. Be that in conflict with your theology or not. |
