Subject: Teacher, when were the 11 rebaptized? |
Bible Note: Greetings One! Thanks for the clarification my friend! I would ask for some stock tips, but the way the market is.....! :-) Just for clarification, I didn't accuse Teacher, I was merely turning his point around on him. Whenever someone else disagreed with his interpretation, he was quoting Scriptures to make it sound like these men were just following the traditions as men as opposed to himself (who has a direct line to God maybe?)! So, the point I was trying to illustrate is that we all must come to grips with the text and our understanding of it. Simply because someone else has a different understanding doesn't make it simply 'traditions of men'. :-) As to quoting other, I have quoted a few, but usually I do mine own interpretation and translation. So, I don't believe that I can be accused of saying, "I know what it says, but...". I have been trying to say, "Here what is says, and here is how you have misunderstood it". p.s. - Phil. 2:12 does say to 'work out' our salvation, not to 'work for' our salvation. This term simply refers to living out the reality of our salvation in our daily lives for all the world to see. It does not refer to 'working' to earn salvation, but expresses actions taken because we are saved. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
