Bible Note: Mike, I think you did a good job of explaining his position, and I think right along the same lines as you do. A lot of times we get a good teacher, who is teaching truth, but uses Scripture and analogy that just doesn't fit the situation. Thats why it is so important to teach expositionaly and not topically. When we teach expositionaly, we teach what the Scripture is showing us, i.e. we let Scripture interpret Scripture. When we teach topically, we have a position, and then we look for Scripture that backs it up. The problem with that is, we then use Scripture out of context and, the meaning gets twisted and, then we lose the intended meaning of said Scripture. Another thing is, we then don't really learn anything form Scripture, that we didn't think we already knew. John |
