Bible Note: Gee, I was kind of hoping you would address the points that I made rather than tearing apart my off-handed, inconsequential remark. And if you contend that God's Word says one thing and I contend that God's Word says another, how do we come to consensus? Let us "openly discuss," then, if you find the word "debate" so offensive. Now back to my post. A true Bible student has a creed. Do you believe that Jesus is the Son of God? Then that is part of your creed. Do you believe that Jesus lives a sinless life? Then that is part of your creed? Do you believe that Jesus bodily rose from the dead? I hope you are getting my point here, Mark. As soon as someone says ANYTHING about God, he is stating his thrology, his dogma, his creed. As I stated before, the question is whether those dogmas, creeds, and theology reflect the truth revealed in Scripture or not. Which brings us back to our discussion. Your own views have been shaped by what you have been taught, just as mine have. You did not just pick up a Bible one day and read it cover to cover and sudenly, mystically have the right answers on everything. God gave teachers to his church, and we are to listen to what they have to say, both to determine if what they say is scriptural and because God the Holy Spirit uses gifted teachers as means to point out the truth of Scripture to God's people. --Joe! |
