Bible Note: Greetings Paul! If Paul were still around, I would willing submit to him! ;-) However, he ain't! :-) There is a difference between a valid interpretation and an invalid interpretation. Most of the differences to which you refer would not exist if everyone followed proper exgesis. I am firmly convinced that if we all actually went by what Scripture actually says instead of inserting our own philosophy and reason, we wouldn't any any problem agreeing! :-) Plus, I believe that you overstand the case concerning the differences. Most denominations probably agree on 98 percent of doctrine. There are just a few pet doctrines that divide most people. We usually agree on the essentials. However, the solution to the problem is not to abandon truth just for the sake of unity. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
