Subject: Who believes the Bible? 2 Tim 3:16 |
Bible Note: Hello, Ray. [First this parenthetical prelude: I hope you are doing well, my good friend] Perhaps Grace and Truth has been an observer of the forum before he/she/they logged on, and just perhaps this new user has been reading the various threads of late in which the authority of the Bible itself has, alas, been under fire.... and wondered what in the cat hair (we say that in Arkansas) was going on here on this web site which advertises itself as a StudyBibleForum, NOT a BashTheBibleForum. I'm guessing, of course. [If you are listening, Grace and Truth, am I on target?] I am persuaded that you, Ray, have a high view of Scripture and consistently treat the Bible with profound respect for what regenerated Christian believers hold it to be, the revealed word of God. And I believe that the majority of the rest of us on this forum hold similiar views of the Scriptures. Those who come along with decidedly different views would do well to reconsider their views, but if they are unable or unwilling to do so, to absent themselves from this forum and seek other forums that they would likely find more hospitable to their points of view. --Hank |
