Bible Note: Mike, "debate" as Joe used it, and "open discussion" as you used it, work out to essentially the same thing, and neither necessarily causes strife. It should indeed be the aim of everyone who consults Scripture to get at the bottom of it, to find out to the best of his ability what it says and what it means. In order to do this, however -- since the Bible is an enormously complex body of writings -- one needs all the help he can get. It is decidedly unwise to close one's mind to the vast amount of light that the Spirit has provided to a vast array of God's servants who have gone before us. Which makes more sense when you are planning a trip from, say Denver to San Francisco -- to strike out on your own, equipped with packpack and machete, and blaze your way through the mountains without a compass -- or follow a carefully mapped-out road, a road that many people have prepared before you, to get to your destination? --Hank |
