Bible Note: Dear brother charis, You have stated, "My point is that if we explain away something written in the Bible, we lose a gift from God." I must agree, we should first read what has been written at face value and see what we come up with initially without the use of any outside sources.. Then if it appears difficult to understand or if we are confronted with questions, then it is always a good idea to consult the opinions of those who have been well versed and well trained and who have made helps that are designed for the very purpose of interpreting Scripture and applying that to our lives. I know that you would be in agreement with us here, and I do appreciate your participation! I am thankful that you have explained your point in this way, and I pray that we can all come together once again in peace without any hard feelings about anything that was stated here about Mr. Hanegraaff. It is not a requirement that everyone agrees about what is submitted here, but we should not put any person's reputation on the line without some conclusive and decisive evidence. I am convinced that you were not putting Mr. Hanegraaff's reputation on the line, you were just voicing your disagreement of what he wrote concerning the structure of leadership and the spiritual gifts. Thank you brother charis, and we are glad to see you back! Nolan |
