Bible Note: Dear Lionstrong, I have been away for a while, and just came across this note of yours. The appearant contradiction that you refer to is caused only by your quoting of my previous post out of context. The first quote is correct. "it is impossible for there to be any laws which God MUST keep." However, the second quote has been lifted out of its paragraph in such a way that the meaning has been changed. I originally said, "Christians generally assume that God would not do any actions contrary to biblical precedents, based on the fact that God doesn't change. However, if for any reason, God did do something that seemed to go against even the Bible, then we would have to assume that we had misunderstood the Bible, not that God was "bad"." Read in context, I am clearly saying that God is the absolute authority, not some "law" that binds Him. Many other forum members have done a good job of also answering this question in much the same way. I hesitate to respond at all, but I want to caution you to be more careful when quoting others in the future. It is important to accurately represent their meanings when you chose specific parts of a post to quote. |
