Bible Note: beja Thank you for your response. Am I to understand that where Paul was speaking of of not passing judgment on him in terms of regarding Apollos above Paul and then Paul says, "I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one will become arrogant in behalf of one against another", that you are taking an alternate application? Not a misinterpretation, I don't mean that at all, but from the original interpretation, a secondary application? Exceed what was written then as what was written about everything in scripture, and not as what was written about not judging Paul or Apollos? I can see you mean the former and not the latter. I like brain twisters but not everyone finds profit in that because they can't find an application in real life for the answers. There is no such thing as a scripture that does not have a current application that can be derived at from a literal interpretation. Which is why I like the brain teasers, to try to find out what that is going to be, all scripture is profitable, you just have to understand how for each one. Scripture has a lot of parts to what it takes to undertand it. Some things in scripture have that they are specific things God has done that have parts as to how it works according to what God has outlined. And some scriptures have different things that God has incorporated into what He has done that each break down into the rules He laid out for each part of each of the major things that went into His one decision. The actual scripture proscribing some particular thing to do about something God has insitituted does not always contain every single aspect of every single thing that God has outlined in scriptures as the parts of how the thing He is doing works, but the elements are in scripture in various other places directly outlined as having exactly to do with the single thing and how God operates its parts. I agree with you whole heartedly that going beyond what scripture actually says about something is going beyond "what is written". But, I think it is important to see what the whole canon of scriptures is saying about how all the parts of the major "thing" that are outlined in scripture work together to form how the "thing" actually works according to scripture. blessings abound, bowler |
