Subject: Sola Scriptura-A False teaching |
Bible Note: Once upon a time...surely you don't really believe this stuff? This is what fairy tales are made of! Excellent Berean statement! Is there no love to prompt you to reach out? Acts 17:10-12 10 And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 1.What prompts us to ridicule and mock the belief of others? It is NOT Godly love. Jesus died for those we mock. 2.Does our mocking promote trust among those we need to teach? 3.Are we mocking what they believe and not them? No...we cannot. Our beliefs are what make us who we are. They are what gives us a sense of purpose. 4.Does mocking the beliefs of others solidify our own beliefs? No, sharing and revisiting our beliefs and the source of our beliefs so as not to let them slip solidifies our beliefs and also leaves us open for correction and teachable. Considering these points, I see no valid reason for such a disgraceful response to someone God may have led to this forum for guidance or maybe even, God forbid, to teach US something. Matthew 7:12 12 "In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets. God bless |
