Bible Question:
Hi everyone This is my second post to this forum and it my be my last. Like most new Christians, I have a ton of questions, like; can God restore my marriage, healing, how to forgive others, etc. But I have read some of the other threads on this forum and I'm afraid of getting conflicting answers! One believes one way and one the other way. Are you folks for real? There is only one God! Doesn't anyone believe He can give an right answer? |
Bible Answer: This person is correct. There is one God, one faith, one Bible. There is one Holy Spirit giving us the answers. Those who answer should be troubled when there are divergent answers. It is almost certain that those who come here often say the Bible does not contradict itself. Neither should those who believe in it and teach it. When the Bible seems to say two different things, we wait and pray and look a little closer. We depend on the wisdom which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. We cannot account for everything that anyone says. But whenever someone uses Scripture we should pay attention. We should be able to incorporate what he sees in the verse and develop one coherent answer. It may take ten tries, but we should arrive at it. No one should take these words "we" to assume that this writer would desire to be an appointed answerman. "We" means that he identifies with the church to which the people come for answers. The church, whether local or as here represented by Bible teachers, is the pillar and ground of truth. The people have a right to ask, and they deserve coherent answers. Don't you think so? |
