Bible Note: Every man has a right to his *opinion*, but no man has the right to be wrong in his *facts*. Additional thoughts on this subject. Not being wrong in one's facts requires a little EFFORT on the part of the individual. Ascertaining the facts will not come by osmosis, asking the guy at the next desk or on the assembly line, reading the Reader's Digest Condensed Bible, voodoo exegesis, daydreaming or any such way. It will come as the result of a diligent search of the scriptures mingled with much prayer. It will come from the scriptures, using sound principles of interpretation and with the aid of such resources as are available, including, but not limited to: an English dictionary, a good Bible dictionary, a concordance, perhaps one or more Greek word studies, and reference works on the archaeology, language, history and culture of the times. Also, if one cannot even define the terms used in the questions and answers, then one is not quite ready to debate the scriptures. |
