Subject: SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH |
Bible Note: When anyone says, "If I experience those things described in scripture, then that for me validates them, proves to me that scripture is true," then that person is in serious error. When anyone says this they are NOT testing experience by Scripture; instead they are testing (proving) Scripture by experience. That's what you said: that "proves to me that scripture is true." What other people have been trying to get across in this thread is that we don't prove Scripture by experience; we prove experience by Scripture. In the above quote you seem to be saying both things -- that we prove experience by Scripture AND Scripture by experience. Grace to you, Kalos |
