Bible Note: Doc, dear brother, your words are wise, but though I am not always successful, and at a loss without a good spell checker and dictionary, I make every attempt to use words in in their truest of meaning, and I stick by my original statement. that "God is able to inspire (to influence, move, or guide by divine or supernatural inspiration,) even modern day translations of His originally inspired (breathed) word." How else could it have been preserved even up to 1611. Surely not by the will of carnal man. Definition provided per Merriam Webster. It even gave me the meaning of the word heterodoxical. "contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard, a traditional form, or an established religion." Could Martin Luther have been considered heterodoxus? Could the Church not benifit from one who posesses "some" of his attributes today? Is it heresy to make a statement which is contrary to or different from an acknowledged standard? I think not, as long as it is within scriptural boundries. |
