Subject: Is the Bible a "simple" Book? |
Bible Note: Is the Bible a "simple" Book? "Do you really understand what you are reading?" (AMPLIFIED Acts 8:30b) Simple defined. "9 : readily understood or performed [simple directions]" (http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary). If the Bible really is readily understood, then why have Forum members asked 22,266 questions about it in the last 3.8 years? I would agree that the gospel message itself (John 3:16; 1 Cor. 15:1-4) is simple. However, that the Bible is NOT a simple book is a simple fact of reality. For example, over a period of 3.8 years the Forum has had a total of 128,815 postings. Most of these have been submitted by people who claim to be taught by the Holy Spirit. But after all that, people still can't agree on the meaning of this "simple book". What do you think? Grace to you, Kalos 12-22-2004 |
