Bible Note: Tim You never did answer this question can I hand a pagan a Bible written in his language and giving him time to study and apply it expect him to come away with correct doctrine? Or do you believe important concepts or important information has been left out of the Bible without which the Pagan would reach the wrong conclusions? Way too many people today are taking this passage or that passage and are saying, “we don’t have to live by this, the writer of this passage was just trying to correct a local situation in a local church, this was never intended to pertain to the whole church. Let’s take a crazy example in 1 Cor. 5:1 Paul talks about a man with his fathers wife. Paul calls it sexual immorality (which it is!). Let’s say for the sake of this discussion we have no other teaching on this. What is to prevent someone from saying, “1Cor. 5:1 was written to correct a problem in the Corinthian church and does not pertain to us today. It was written because Paul knew they had some bad genes and he didn’t want genetic mutations to take place that is why he told them it was sexual immorality. That having sex between as son and mother is really the safest sex your keeping it in the family?” I realize this is absurd example but understand if we open the door to do it in one place what is to prevent someone else from coming through that same door and doing in another? Who is to be the final authority? By doing this with any passage like 1Tim 2:11 we are saying God isn’t. !!!!Disclaimer before anybody jumps on me for teaching heresy. Sex between a son and his father’s wife is in fact SIN! Here and many other places in the Bible, it is forbidden!!!! |
