Bible Note: Hello Phillip, I'm not really trying to create a debate on this matter. That's not my intent. What exactly is the point you're trying to make? I understand what these scriptures say- I've been walking in the Lord for 25 years:-) Again, you're proof-texting! Just because these verses mention perfection, being blameless, or righteouness, etc. doesn't mean we take them and thereby develop a doctrine based upon selective use of meaning! Before this drags on, you really need to study and understand the context of each of these scriptures! Context is extremely important. To ignore it is to stray from sound hermenuetics. Words mean what the original author intended- in proper context. Does this make sense? Here would be a couple questions I'd pose to you: 1. Does the reader determine the meaning of a text or does the author? 2. How exactly have you arrived at your position. Who has influenced you? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
