Subject: Mark: Many Proverbs not true? |
Bible Note: Doc, I agree with you completely in the care that we need to take in how we articulate the truths of God's Word. As we discuss these things before a public arena, I believe we will incur the stricter judgment of a teacher. There is only one more thing I believe I can add to this thread. I do not consider anything in Scripture to be implicit in the sense that it is unexpressed. If something is not expressed in Scripture, then it is added by man. You may disagree with this, but that is my view. There is the sense of implicit that means "implied". Scripture implies a number of things, although we must take great care in fully establishing that a thing is truly implied by Scripture, and that it is God's intent to make that implication, lest we become guilty of adding to the text. I would say that by the time we have so established a matter, that it ceases to become implicit, since we will have shown that it actually is expressed in the text. But at the end of it all, again, I shall say, that our disagreement centers not on how to read and understand the Bible, but on the meanings and uses of a particular couple of words, and, I daresay, I think our readers have had adequate opportunity it understand what either of us mean as we say "promise". Thank you for what has been a most interesting discussion! Love in Christ, Mark |
