Subject: Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? |
Bible Note: Kathy, the question "What about Good Thursday?" was not addressed to you. It was addressed to Indy. It is because he mentioned "Maundy Thursday and Good Friday" ... and while neither of these terms are in the Bible, I wanted to use another phrase that is not in the Bible ... though Thursday crucifixion is a minor view. I never labeled you as "anti-christ" ... all I did was to say if you attribute to God something that is not true (because Acts 20:7 is in the passive voice, it is of divine initiative) it is another gospel. I never have said you were not a Christian or on the wrong side of the cross. I think I said the opposite. You ask ... "What scripture do you believe I should study?" ... Is there going to be another deiviously mean spirited quiz?" and I asked you to read the posts cited for the Scripture. My point is we celebrate "Good Friday" because of tradition. While most "experts" believe it is the day He died, I have found it to be Thursday. My question was .... Is lifting His name related to John 12:32? ... My intent is get you and others to think why we use words and phrases that are not in the Bible, or if we are misinformed because someone else had misused Scripture. The latter is true in this case. When we reference commentary, articles and other resources ... it doesn't make it true. All needs to be checked out with Scripture. There have been views I have changed, after a careful study of Scripture. Searcher |
