Bible Note: You wrote: "No, I was likening CRI with Paul's christian ministry and how he was careful not to oppose God by speaking evil of the high priest. Please read Ray's post here if you do not understand: " Well, the very verses you had chosen in your post, in their context, are directed toward Pharisees and to those who oppose the working of God in the nation of Israel. Paul was addressing speaking evil of a ruler of the people, in accordance with God's command to refrain from doing so in Deuteronomy (and what Paul writes himself in Romans 13). However, you would not conclude that Paul is in theological agreement with the Pharisee high priest Ananias, would you? His whole ministry was dedicated to proclaiming the opposite of what their whole lives were about. This verse is not an admonition against speaking out against heresy or false teaching. The James verse is a good one. We should be slow to speak. That is not an admonition not to speak at all. And in its context, James is dealing with general practical Christian living, not warning them against holding up the truth against falsehood. The fact is that God has given us a standard by which we know what we are to believe about God and what He requires of us. He has also given us their church throughout history through which he has worked, in spite of our fallibility. One of the roles of the church is to preserve and guard and proclaim the truth, and to root out what is not in keeping with the teaching of Jesus and the apostles. That is where discernment comes in. --Joe! |
