1 | Should the Bible be taken literally? | Bible general Archive 1 | Lionstrong | 15160 | ||
No offence, dear brother Ed, As Hank said your question is really not about literalness, but about interpretation as a whole, about people imposing unbiblical presuppositions on Scripture causing them to reject portions of Scripture as being outdated or only for the time it written. Scripture must be interpreted by Scripture, not by the current "wind of doctrine" of our culture. From the Westminster Confession of Faith: The infallible rule of interpretation of Scripture is the Scripture itself: and therefore, when there is a question about the true and full sense of any Scripture (which is not manifold, but one), it must be searched and known by other places that speak more clearly. Peace, Lionstrong |

Lionstrong thank you, I guess I should say interpretation rather than literalness but that is not really the case either maybe a better word would be application. Are we to apply God's word as written or should we consider different ways, perhaps even politically correct ways to apply it. the consensus within much of the church is go PC to insure growth. |

Dear Ed That's the beauty of God's Word and how it applies to every dispensation and culture, be it the agrarian culture of ancient Israel or the high tech information age of western civilization. Back then "no murder" could apply to not sacrificing you child to Molech. Today it's abortion and stem cell research. The command is unchanged; the applications are as diverse as our circumstances. We need the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the wisdom and courage (against the pressures of PC) he supplies to stand against brokeness of our world and the wilds of the devil. Peace, Lionstrong |
