Subject: Mr. Perkins' Website/Chart |
Bible Note: I realized when I posted that statement there would be several who wouldn't agree with the sentiment of my post. Please believe me, I really am trying to be objective, thus my citation of the number of times those words appear in the Bible. I might remind you that just a few hundred years ago, you and I would be in a serious amount of trouble in some countries for just reading the Bible and in more serious trouble still for speaking out against the Catholic church. I remind you of this fact to say just because a particular fact does NOT enjoy the popularity of the majority, that doesn't make it any less of a fact, especially when it's from God Almighty. Yes when I look over all those 87 verses, I'm reminded of the tremendous value christians put on that part of the Plan of Salvation or Process. One of the best I can recall is Gal 3:24 Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. Gal 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. Gal 3:26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. Gal 3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. I can understand how some folks interpret other scriptures to exclude the importance of baptism. What I can't understand is how a true Bible scholar such as Mr. Perkins can leave it completely out of his chart altogether. What would be your guess as to how this deception was perpetrated on Bible students? Blessings to you, dear friend. Country Girl |
