Subject: Do YOU belive in the Bible? |
Bible Note: I think where you are wrong in your thinking is here: "Isn't LOVE a feeling?" Biblically speaking, I would say, "No." Love is an attitude of the spirit that results in self-sacrifice for the well-being of another. Anger is a feeling which comes and goes. So is happiness and sadness and fright. Love is a conscious decision that one makes. Look at 1 Corinthians 13. It is hard to come away from that chapter with the idea that love is merely an emotion. In other words, love is not a reaction, something that happens to us or that we fall into. Love is something that we DO. As far as the different interpretations of Scripture are concerned, people do indeed interpret the Bible differently; however, that is not to say that all interpretations are correct. Nor is it to say that I have made the correct interpretation in every jot and tittle of God's revelation. It is completely false to think that one can make the Bible mean whatever one wants it to mean, which is the logical conclusion one comes to if every interpretation is as valid as any other. --Joe! |
