Subject: When does Scripture apply to us? |
Bible Note: Hi Mommapbs, What about context? Where does the Bible teach certain words, phrases, etc. will "speak to us" regardless of who they are addressing, Judas, Peter, God, satan etc. This is neither orthodox evangelicalism nor Catholic. This reminds me of a Pentecostal who told my wife, who had toothache at the time, she could get a gold filling, if she would "Open your mouth and he will fill it." Nonsense. Allowing scripture to "speak to you" outside the context it was written sounds like too much like the Mormons "burning in the bosom" to me. 'Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God' refers to unbelievers hearing the gospel. This is quoted out of context which was what my whole question is about. What about taking things too literally? Of course all things are not possible with God. Can you fly through the sky by flapping your arms. Can you become a teapot. The Bible is not meant to speak to us like this. We might as well use a donkeys tail with a pin in it. I agree ALL scripture is profitable. Certainly the Word-Faith false teachers find it very "profitable". Dalcent |
