Bible Note: Hi, Telegrammy... Sensible, perhaps... but the verity of the truth of God does not depend on man's ability to make sense of it (1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Timothy 4:3). We build doctrine based on everything that the Word of God says on a particular topic (Titus 1:9). This is one of the reasons that participants in the forum are encouraged to make every effort to base their assertions on Scripture. All Scripture is breathed out by God [is inspired in a verbal plenary sense] and profitable for teaching [to eliminate ignorance], for reproof [to deal with disobedience], for correction [to eliminate error], and for training in righteousness [to habituate obedience].
