Bible Question:
perspicuos- easily understood,clearly expressed. The above is the definition from the Oxford American Dictionary. In light of the above stated definition is there anything where Gods Word cant be understood or that he has not clearly expressed? What do we say to 2 Timothy 2:15,3:16,17 2 Peter 1:20,21? In Christ, lionheart |
Bible Answer: I'm repeating myself now. 2 Pet 3:16 asserts 'as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand...'which is completely the opposite of what you assert! Acts 8:30 Philip ran up and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, "Do you understand what you are reading?" And he said, "Well, how could I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. The practical proof that Scripture is not perspicuous is the diversity of evangelical sects and their many conflicting opinions. In what way do you interpret 2 Peter 1:20, this verse states there is only one true interpretation for any Biblical verse, namely the official one taught by the Church: The Church of the living God, which 'the pillar and support of the truth' (1 Tim 3:15). Scripture does not say the 'Bible is pillar and support of the truth.' |
