Bible Note: Hello EdB. God bless you brother. Once again you make a solid point. I too take Gods Word quite literally and we must. One thing that has helped me considerably in my study of the Bible has been understanding that God has incorperated numerous figures of speech, synonims ,and other things to paint pictures of himself and the principles he sets forth in the Bible. That along with things you have brought up in previous postings. In the case of a verse that may be unclear it gets explained in the verse,in the context,or it's been used elsewhere in scripure. Those points which you mentioned yourself on more than one occassion. When we apply these principles to our study of Gods Word along with lots of prayer it takes the guess work out of everything. That is why I see 2 Timothy 2:15 as a lynch pin to our study of Gods Word and the kind of relationship he wants to have with us.I think that if we as sons and daughters of God apply these principles consistantly that we will find ourselves much more unified and not so much at loggerheads with each other. God wants us unified and like minded where his Word is concerned. Thanx my brother, lionheart |
