Bible Note: Oh, amen and amen! Those folks, instead of standing on the entire Word of God, cut away portions to fit their own beliefs. This is just like the world, where people believe what they choose to believe, for they deem that their own reason, experience, and feelings are of higher authority than the Word itself! My two Pentecostal pastors who became Calvinists by reading, especially, John 6, 10, and Romans. Those who want to retain the belief in their own merit unto salvation should certainly avoid those passages. Better to even reject John altogether with Romans altogether. If I held those beliefs, I would also entirely avoid the first three chapters of Ephesians. It would also be handy to have a doctrine that would allow one to avoid dealing with any of the Old Testament -- maybe by calling it part of some other dispensation, with nothing to do with us. Think hard and I'm sure there could be other passages that could be rejected as "dangerous." |
