Bible Question:
Victor, Again I ask,what do you classify as new ideas? To this generation what the bible teaches may be new but as God revealed it to those who passed it down to us the intent,teaching,and principle are the same.God hasn't changed and His Word as He revealed it hasn't changed. Hebrews 13:8,2 Peter 1:20,21. Now I will say this again,we must conform our believing to Gods Word and not to what we may think we want or believe.What I or anyone else may believe or not means diddly squat if it doesnt fall into line with Gods Word.(1 Timothy 4:16, Titus 2:1a)When one makes God and his Word the central focus and comes to Him with a humble and faithful heart one is capable of change,God will give that individual the heart and conviction to do so.There are different versions of the bible out there but only one interpretation,and thats as he revealed it to his holy Apostels and prophets. None of us is perfect and at times there are those of us myself included that can get sentimental about where we are at. We may not always get it right but we have the heart and humility to do our best to do it his way and I would say that is the heart of the brothers and sisters of this forum that I have come to know as a result of this forum.So in answer to your question We do our best,are you willing to do the same? In Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: Lionheart, It is my contention that your Fundamentalism / Evangelicalism is relatively new to historical Christianity, is mainly an American phenomenon, and bears no resemblance to anything preceding the Great Awakening of the 1720's. Your denominational distinctives are simply novel and unbiblical. You are ignorant of the writings and theological perspectives of the decades and indeed centuries following Christ. Read the writings of some of martyrs of the first three centuries and you will realize MANY of your views are sheer innovations. If you can't be bothered then ignorance is bliss. You don't need to tell me how you only care what the Bible says. The early Church understood the Bible, many knew the Apostles and there was a genuine lineage between these authors and Christ. You THINK you understand the Bible, it's that simple. Put another way you seem well-versed in contemporary theology in the American Fundamentalist / Evangelical tradition, and you identify it as apostolic biblical Christianity! |
