Bible Question: With the Holy Spirit indwelling believers, why do we not all come to the same conclusions on the interpretation of various passages of Scripture? Why are there disagreements on the interpretation of Scripture? |
Bible Answer: I'm just wondering: Why couldn't one be both a servant of Christ and a theologian? Is it inconceivable that a noted theologian could also be a humble servant of Christ? Are the two mutually exclusive? Are those with less education automatically more "spiritual" than those with more? Are scholars and theologians inherently deceptive, evil, and untrustworthy? Maybe I'm missing something, but I just don't understand all the hostility people on the forum have toward men who spend their lives diligently studying the Bible and its language, historical, geographical and cultural background. |
