Bible Question:
Paul does not tell Timothy to refuse speculations, but foolish and ignorant speculations. When do speculations become foolish or ignorant. For example, does one cross the the foolish and ignorant line when he speculates that the will of fallen man is not free? Lionstrong |
Bible Answer: In case you missed it: "Have you built your ark yet? "From this verse, Genesis 6:14, and this verse alone, isn't it perfectly clear that God expects each one of us to build an ark?Some doctrines have been based on little more than a random verse, so why shouldn't we stock up on gopher wood and start building?"
