Bible Note: I guess we could second guess every book that way. I think after we got done tearing out the ones we weren't sure of we would be holding a pretty thin Bible. No unless the scriptures directly contributes the saying to an unrighteous person I think we have to accept God intended for it to be there. Many places Paul said I think or this is my opinion and many people want to disregard those passages but I believe, if God had them recorded He wanted them in there. If not then I would have to believe God didn't control everything that went into the Bible. If I believed that then I would have to believe God isn't in total control and thus isn't totally sovereign. Let it be not so! EdB |
