Bible Note: John, points well taken and thanks for your painstaking efforts to set down your position with added clarity. One of the earmarks of a true believer, so it seems to me, is his deep resolve to take God at His word, that is to say, to look to Scripture as the plumb line by which to measure all truth. The Psalmist said, "The sum of Your word is truth, and every one of Your righteous ordinances is everlasting" (Psalm 119:150, NASB). And our Lord prayed, "Sanctify them in truth. Your word is truth" (John 17:17, NASB). God's blessings to you, too, John. --Hank |
