Sir Pent and Bill Mc, I find this fascinating, though not peculiar. First of all, I do not know Bill Mc, we are not the same person. Furthemore, I have not read any of his posts to date, though I am encouraged to do so now, especially the one to which you refer if I can find it. Also, I have not heard of, and hence not read anything by Fowler. The ideas I stated came from my own personal study and gleanings from the Scriptures. It does not surprise me, however, that the interpretations are similar, even remarkably so, to others. After all, the interpretation of the scripture is a work of the Holy Spirit. Honest and spirit-led study should lead men of God to the same truths, those which God intended in His Word. Your post encourages me that I did not misinterpret what He led me to. Thanks. |

GeneralWas, thanks for your confirmation. To make your search easier, the web site link is www.christinyou.net You make a very good point about the "search for truth." To me, truth is what God says. God says that we would know it because the Spirit would take the things of Christ and make them known to us. There are many wonderful Christian brothers and sisters that post on this forum. But there is also a tendency for some to reply to questions with a 'cut and paste' answer from their commentaries. While I agree that a commentary can be a great tool, it can also become a crutch. As you said, the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth of scripture interpretation as we rely on Him to reveal the meaning. In my opinion, many Christians know what scripture SAYS but they are clueless as to what it MEANS to them because they rely on the theologians and commentaries first instead of letting the Spirit and other scripture interpret scripture. Continue to be a Berean and thanks for your reply. In Christ, Bill Mc |
