Bible Question:
Could you please explain how the concept of forgivness contradicts the teachings of scripture? I do think this series of posts is showing the discussion group the logical conclusion of calvanism--nothing really matters as long as you are "the elect/chosen" of God. |
Bible Answer: RE: Matthew 6:14-15. It is not the passage, but Mr. Butler's *interpretation* of the passage, that contradicts the teaching of the rest of the Bible on the same subject. I never said that one passage contradicts the general teaching of the Bible or that one passage is to be rejected. You and Mr. Butler need to learn to read and pay attention. Let's try it again. What I said was: SINCE THE BIBLE DOESN'T CONTRADICT ITSELF, ANY INTERPRETATION OF A SPECIFIC PASSAGE THAT CONTRADICTS THE GENERAL TEACHING OF THE BIBLE IS TO BE REJECTED. I was speaking of an INTERPRETATION OF a passage -- not the passage itself. |
