Bible Question: How does one arrive at the CORRECT answer to a question Christians have disagreed on? Both sides say they have the "clear teaching of Scripture". I.E.;the Rapture or eternal security. Jon |
Bible Answer: Jon, An age old (some would call)conondrum. But, I see it as part of G-d's plan. G-d commands that we serve Him in all ways including reading and studying His word. What better way than to have scripture presented thru man in the manner it is, guided by G-d to foster study,debate,discussions,analysis and start all over again. A life long commitment. Therefore, we are to; Pray for guidance. Study scriptures...and study them again. Study all writings available. Discuss meanings of scriptures. To assist in studies I apply the following three rules; 1)Take the Bible literaly where it is at all possible. If typical,figurative or symbolic language is used then look for literal interpretation it intends to convey. 2)Look for scripture which interprets scripture. 3)Do not spiritualize the Bible. We are each assigned the responsibility to reach our own conclusions. There are two scripture references I keep in mind as I pursue studies; 1)..."some things are reserved for Go-d's knowledge only".(Be reminded that... "not even Christ,nor the Angels in Heaven, but, our Father only knows the day and hour of the second coming/advent"....). 2)..."it will be revealed in due course"...based on the covictions of the heart and as the mind is capable of handling the information. One further thought; There are only three things we must know and do to receive eternal salvation; 1)We must repent; 2)We must be baptized and 3)We must live a life according to G-d"s law..the ten commandments. A life of righteousness. (Yes,earning of the five Crowns is greatly indicated. and item three gives us those Crowns). So while we are to pursue understanding in order to properly witness for Christ, we should not get hung up or allow ourselves to wane in our depth of faith when an answer is not immediately clear. For Christ, Preston |
