1 | How do I study the bible? | Bible general Archive 1 | zach† | 37137 | ||
Brother Tim; I went to your churches web-site to look around, and the most amazing thing I found there was a picture of you. Now whenever I get correspondence and reply's from you I have a face to attach to the replys. I think that makes a difference in your replies. I also have a confession to make; I believe I have unknowingly become an Arminian. I started out in my new life in Christ as being in agreement with the Reformed position, but after continually studying God's word, I came to a fork in my spiritual road. I had to either believe God's word or certain denominations positions on doctrine. When push came to shove, God's word became my final authority and now I can no longer accept as true all of the Reformed faiths position. The point I am trying to make is: It was not through any man's teachings that I gradually began to move gradually more and more away from Calvinistic teaching and more and more in the Arminian direction, but that has come about only through the clear teachings of Scripture. So today even if I am an Arminian, I consider that to be because I am a Biblicist first. Grace and peace be multiplied unto thee brother; zach† |

Greetings Zach†! I hope the picture didn't frighten you too much! :-) The good news is that the picture there is about 5 years old and I have lost about 40 pounds since then! I understand about the labels. I think Joe made the point awhile back that labels are simply convient summaries of positions which we hold in common. If we had to explain every single thing that we believe on this forum every time we discussed an issue with someone, it would take a lot of time. However, by using a label, I can convey the basics of my understanding relatively quickly. :-) However, I am more than a label! :-) I appreciate the participate of all our brothers and sisters in Christ no matter what label best identifies them! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
