Bible Note: I hate to disagree, but, Scripture only supports one truth. It CANNOT support to opposing viewpoints. Now, as you said, we might both be wrong--I agree. But, if we misinterpret Scripture and misapply it, we are in opposition to God's Word and therefore, to God. That is sin. Is any religion that makes man the author of his salvation sin when Scripture says that Jesus is the "author and finisher of our faith?"(Heb. 12:2). I'd have to say it is because it takes away from God's glory. If I'm still missing the point, I apologize. But, God didn't bless me with a good mind. But, I thank Him for the gift of faith (Eph. 2:8,9) that He has given me. God bless you and yours. |
