Bible Note: Dear McGracer, with your fine and well-balanced post perhaps we may and should sum up this interesting conversation and conclude it with a summary statement using a portion of Scripture for our text, on which we are all obviously in total agreement, that is, that "All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." [2 Tim.3:16,17]. I've learned several things from this discussion, but none so important as the realization that has been brought to light by it that each and every book of the Bible has its purpose and plays a vital role. Each is inextricably woven into the fabric of Scripture in a divinely appointed way so that the finished product is truly the complete and perfect word of God. --Hank |
