1 | Defining Truth | Josh 10:12 | Lionstrong | 6476 | ||
Truth is not physical, relative or temporary. With respect to physical, it is not some physical motion in the brain either. Truth is not individualistic. Truth is universal, mental or spiritual, eternal, absolute, and unchanging propositions or thoughts. All scientific laws are tentative. Progress in science insures that the present laws will be replaced by other laws. If truth is unchanging, then science is false. |

Why all these Proverbs if the word of God said the Sun stood still ,It stood still just like the walls of Jericho fell down on the seventh day of marching around. We get into doubt and confusion when we just won't take the words of God'd Word. May we study to find truth and when we do fine it we will obey with doubt. Just remember God's Word is always true. In Christ Jim | ||||||

jim: "The basic principle of interpretation is to interpret plainly. The word *literal* is avoided here because it creates connotations which have to be corrected. Plain, straight-foward interpretation includes at least the following concepts: (...) "(2) Plain interpretation does not exclude the use of figures of speech. Indeed, a figure of speech may communicate more clearly, but what it communicates is plain. In other words, behind every figure of speech is a plain meaning, and that is what the interpreter seeks. (...) "(5) Expect the Bible to use what is technically called phenomenal language. This simply means that it often describes things as they appear to be rather than in precise scientific terms. Speaking of the sun rising or setting (neither of which it does) is an example of this (Matt 5:45; Mark 1:32), but this is a plain and normal way to communicate" (From "A Survey of Bible Doctrine, by Charles C. Ryrie." Quoted in the Ryrie Study Bible, pp. 1959-1960, Moody, 1976, 1978) |

If one is incapable of comprehending the writings of MacArthur and Ryrie, then one has more to worry about than "Who is MacArthur?" or "Who is Ryrie?" If one cannot comprehend what he reads, then let him just admit it, instead of cloaking his answers with a veil of irrelevant replies and nonsense. | ||||||
