Subject: Individualistic Bible reading unbiblical |
Bible Note: Hi new creature you are right we should check out everything with prayer to God that His word may inlighten our understanding. But I have come across this time and again that those who have a preconcieved idea of what the bible says do not do this , they won't or cannot answer question that are asked of them because they find it hard to back up what they believe. If one comes in with a differant point of view they may read it but do not check with Gods word to see if it is true or not , but reject it out of hand. May God bring us back to His word as the only source of interpitation of the truth. |
