John Simply stated; After reading many of the commentaries, I see the trend is that even notable commentary authors can't even agree with each other. I have compared what the teachers of the past as well as what the modern teachers of our day have put in black and white, with the clear teaching of the Bible as the Holy Spirit guides and have yet to find a single commentary that is Scripturally accurate. I am not saying everything that is in the commentaries is unBibical. The problem as I see it is that many subtle errors that have no Bibical justification are found in every commentary, and in many instances mis-lead. That is why I personally put no trust in man's word. Just keeping my nose in God's word, and TRUSTING that the Holy Spirit will give us discernment, and help us spot truth from error, is what is needed today. IN my experience, many churches which have Bible Studies, or small cell groups, can't even do a Bible study these days without running to the nearest Christian book store to purchase Bible studies which are not rooted in a Bibical perspective, but rather in a denominational perspective. We live in the days of an aphetic, lukewarm, and even apostate church, which only desires to hear itching words that will tickle their ears and make them feel all tingly inside. If I sound negative, thats because I only see negative things happening within EVERY church I have tried. But then we know what God's word says will happen in the last days, and how there will come a falling away BEFORE the Lord's return. 2 Thess. 2:1-3 Blessings New Creature |

Frankly, I personally find it disconcerting to cast a blanket denunciation of all churches in our time. I'm struck with the problem of facing the reality that with what wisdom I judge, by it I will be judged. Scripture issues a number of warnings to beware of false teachers, but it falls far short of declaring that the church universally is preaching lies and deceit. Having found not a single biblical exegesis that is accurate surely would make one a rara avis indeed. And he, being the only one who is privy to the truth, would, it seems to me, feel pressed to respond to the heavy burden thus imposed upon him and feel constrained to write a commentary that is the pure and unvarnished truth from cover to cover. In so doing, he would not only expose the trickery and error forced upon the reading public at the hands of all the dedicated and scholarly Bible expositors who have gone before him, but would concomitantly, in one fell sweep, achieve the flawless union of the children of God as well. --Hank | ||||||
