Bible Note: Greetings Doc! Are these things really based upon inferences or direct statements? 1) Paying pastors: 1 Cor. 9:14 says, "In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel." This doesn't sound like an inference from me! 2) Taxes: The same principle applies as with Caesar! Get me a dollar bill! Whose picture and name is on it? ;-) Then render to Washington what is Washington's! :) 3) Mt. 5:41 doesn't mention a roman soldier! It simply says, 'If someone forces you to go one mile'. So, anytime someone forces you to go one mile, go two! No inference necessary! :-) 4) David and the wheat! Jesus uses this as a direct example! Where is the inference? 5) Trinity: This is clearly spelled out in Scripture! 6) Inerrency: This isn't much of an inference! God cannot lie. Scripture says that His word is perfect! God is all-knowing. So, how could it contain error? These are all principles that are clearly stated in Scripture. 7) Age of Accountability: This is probably the only belief you have listed that is really based upon inferences. 8) Dispensationalism: I am not a dispensationalist! ;-) You wrote: "A lack of interest in logic may narrow discussion, but it doesn't make it go away." I'm not talking about logic! I'm talking about groundless inferences! Moses broke the tablets while the Israelites were singing and worshipping an idol; therefore, God dislikes certain kinds of music! This is a groundless inference. So, not all inferences are logical! A logical inference would be: Adultery is wrong because Scripture says it is wrong. Therefore, adultery is not an acceptable way to worship! ;-) Just because someone draws an inference doesn't make it so! This is why I said I'm not interested in inferences. This forum is filled with false doctrines and silly teachings based upon someone's inferences. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
