Bible Note: Cyclist, Thanks for the welcome, brother. I have been reading the various postings for quite a while but I am rather selective in what discussions I get involved it. I think we all tend to have certain areas where we focus our separate biblical studies. While this can be a gift for the edification of His body, it can also cause us to become rather myopic in our views. That is one of the things I enjoy about this forum. I tend to be "focused" in certain areas of theology, doctrine, and application. I can find new fresh thoughts here on the NASB Study Forum that can challenge me to grow in areas where I can be a little "lop-sided." :) This is indeed a great place to be exposed to other views. And, believe it or not, I try to keep an open mind (but most things fall out as soon as I open it). I did not mean to discredit Emmaus or his other postings. I have read some of them. And I may have misinterpreted what he said about the gospels have primacy. I, too, am thankful for the gospels. I wouldn't want to try to live the Christian life without them. Thankfully, I don't have to. At the same time, I'm thankful for all of the rest of the NT and OT alike. I could be saved by Jesus Christ simply by reading the book of Romans alone with His illuminating help, I know that. But God has, in grace, given us His complete written Word and His complete indwelling Word. :) We are truly blessed. Thanks again for the welcome, Cyclist. May we all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. McGracer |
