Bible Note: Tim I agree, however I wonder if God does? We throw 2 Tim. 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, as a bloody sword but then we say, "well maybe this was added and this was deleted and this is only talking to this situation and that only pertains to that society and etc." We take words like 'one', 'all', 'whosoever' and put conditions, waivers, new meanings, and even manage to ignore some words to make scripture fit what we deem is proper. When we talk about it we smile and say well there is just to much doubt, uncertainty, lack of evidence etc. Did God want His Word to viewed as that wishy washy? I’m sure you know all the arguments that were used to condone, justify and okay over what the Bible said in the past are now being used to condone such things as homosexuality divorce, abortion and even acceptance of other religions. All the tactics that were used to make the Bible more acceptable to the feminists are now being used by the homosexual community. We see words that were modified and changed to support many “favored” doctrines, now the same thing is being done to bring acceptance of Islam and Christian cults. Maybe it is time we take our learned reasoning out of the picture and accept what God has called it, His Word. And in doing this we might even consider what may have been added was in fact God ordained. EdB |
