Bible Note: Grace7044, in regard to an item of your answer that speaks of being led by the Spirit, must we not conclude that the Spirit never leads in any direction that is contrary to what He has already laid down in Scripture? This is tantamount to saying two things: (1) That the Scriptures are the sole authority for faith and practice; and (2) that one's beliefs, actions, and even one's prayers must be, from beginning to end, in accordance with the will of God which the Spirit has already revealed in the word of God. Application: There can be no substitute for searching the Scriptures. --Hank |
