Bible Note: Dear Bows, So, you've got me pegged! I sure wish I was as simple to myself as I am to you! :-) But... Oh my! I wasn't expecting that kind of a reaction. I had thought I was speaking rhetorically to you. Perhaps you need to find an Experience Study Forum? If your experience is touted as having greater authority than the Scriptures, you are at odds with the agreement you signed when coming into the forum. Since you have asserted that your experience is more important than the Scripture, I should be asking YOU for Scriptural proof of that! Of course, experiential proof of such a thing would have more heavily with you! :-) I will be the gentleman, than, and take up your challenge to find Scriptural support for the superiority of the Word over experience. Let me give it a shot! As in my previous passage, I pointed out 2 Cor 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." Here we are commanded not to let experience lead us, but faith! Need we more? For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. (Romans 8:14) Wait! Here is a type of experience we are ordered to have! Experience in the Word! For indeed because of the time you are due to be teachers, yet you need to have someone to teach you again the rudiments of the beginning of the Words of God, and you came to be having need of milk, and not of solid food; for everyone partaking of milk is without experience in the Word of Righteousness, for he is an infant. (Hebrews 5:12-13) These are just very few... but I have to hit the sack -- long day tomorrow. Chew on those and see if you can pull out of them that experience is more important than Scripture. Talk to you tomorrow! :-) In Him, Doc |
