Subject: Faith apart from reading the Bible? |
Bible Note: kalos, again you miss my point. My whole point was that one could have the Scripture (OT and NT together) without any other book or teacher and be able to reach a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Friend, this could not happen if all you had was the Old Testament. You might understand God's holiness and man's sinfulness but you would not understand fully Christ's sacrifice to redeem us from the curse of the law and to give us eternal life. That is all I am saying. Jesus told the Pharisees that they searched the scriptures that are "magnified above Thy name" because they thought that by keeping the Law, they would have life. But He noted that they would not come to HIM, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, to receive the very eternal life they sought. Stupid in Christ, Bill Mc |
