Subject: Heresy Hunting or Biblical Mandate? |
Bible Note: Now these [Jews] were better disposed and more noble than those in Thessalonica, for they were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message [concerning the attainment through Christ of eternal salvation in the kingdom of God] with inclination of mind and eagerness, searching and examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. (AMPLIFIED Acts 17:11 ) Asis writes: "We must be like the Bereans. They didn't believe Paul." Asis, are you serious? Nowhere in the Bible does it say or imply the Bereans didn't believe Paul. This idea is total nonsense. It's absurd and unscriptural. The text in Acts 17:11 plainly says: "they were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message [of Paul and Silas] ...with inclination of mind and eagerness," I say again: They were entirely ready and accepted and welcomed the message. WITH INCLINATION OF MIND AND EAGERNESS. This is a far cry from "They didn't believe Paul." |
