Subject: No Understanding No Power of God |
Bible Note: The old problem of not knowing the Scriptures, which leads to not knowing the power of God; it pervades every place where believers still try to hold a high view of the Word. "You will realize that doctrines are inventions of the human mind, as it tried to penetrate the mystery of God. You will realize that Scripture itself is the work of human minds, recording the example and teaching of Jesus. Thus it is not what you believe that matters; it is how you respond with your heart and your actions. It is not believing in Christ that matters; it is becoming like him." --Pelagius (354-420) The church recognized the heresy of Pelagianism, and sought to correct this among the churches in the Council of Orange (529): https://www.ewtn.com/library/COUNCILS/ORANGE.HTM Nonetheless, it continued to be the pervasive view in the Eastern and Western Churches. Then it was picked up and embraced by the anti-intellectual and anti-historical and anti-biblical churches that came into being in the late 18th and 19th centuries. Now it remains the pervasive view of the non-reformed churches across the globe. Read and watch... the truth always surfaces (Isaiah 29:15; Luke 8:17). The Bereans left an example of searching to see what is true (Acts 17;11); contrariwise these others are cover their ears and eyes, unwilling to believe what they prefer, exemplifying those that Paul talks about in 2 Timothy 4:4. |
