AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 16:17 ¶ I urge you, brothers and sisters, to keep your eyes on those who cause dissensions and create obstacles or introduce temptations [for others] to commit sin, [acting in ways] contrary to the doctrine which you have learned. Turn away from them. |
Subject: We are to do the opposite of this verse. |
Bible Note: In general, do you not find it a bit eccentric to say that we are to take verses of the Bible and, rather than doing what they say, we are to do the opposite of what they say? Does this also apply to the 10 Commandments? It is not we ourselves who set out to cause dissensions and difficulties. It is the Gospel of Christ that stirs up opposition in the hearts and minds of unsaved, ungodly people. By the way, we know what the Bible means by what it says -- not by the opposite of what it says. |
