Subject: searching for the truth |
Bible Note: Tim I really don't see denominations ignoring what scripture says. I see them reading a different interpretation into it. Take the speaking in tongues. The real point of contention is "what is when the perfect comes" some say it is the closing of the cannon, others say Jesus. Can you definitely prove which it is? I think not. Makes a major difference in theology though. There are hundreds of different understandings or interpretations based on honest reading of the scripture, many can be seen viewing the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. Take the for example Jesus saying Peter your the rock and upon this rock I will build my church. There are all kinds of explanations, from using word plays in the native tongue to actual occurrences of the early church. Again depending on your reading can create a wide difference in theology. These differences weren’t brought up by ignorant men looking for something to be different. These differences are held by men and women that have given years upon years of honest study to the subject and have decided the evidence as they see proves the their interpretation. Take Jack Hayford a brilliant Pentecostal theologian and bring together with John MacArthur an equally brilliant non Pentecostal theologian and discuss such issues as the manifestations of the Holy Spirit, women in the church, divorce, pastorial divorce, security of believer. I think when you heard both men you will see that scripture is not as cut and dried as you claim. I believe I’m safe in saying these are major issues of faith. The take either one of these men and compare their stand on these issues with the excellent catechism of the Catholic church and you will find yet other views. Are these examples all blind to the truth is perhaps the truth not as crystal clear as you claim it to be? EdB |
