Subject: Who is the 'lady'? |
Bible Note: In this post I wish to clarify and expand upon my earlier comments. I want to go on record as being in agreement with our respected fellow Forum member, Steve Butler. I agree with Steve Butler when he says the experts should not be our source as soon as we read a passage. One of my favorite Bible scholars and teachers on the radio always encourages people to equip themselves with the necessary methods and principles of rightly interpreting the Word of God for themselves. He urges people to read and study the Bible first to determine what it means on their own. This teacher especially recommends about a dozen books that are basic Bible study tools. But he never encourages people to read the books first or as a substitute for reading the Word of God itself. I agree with him and with Steve. It is healthy and appropriate for us as believers to search the Scriptures for ourselves. --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |
