Subject: Scripture above scripture? |
Bible Note: Brother lionheart, I agree that certain manuscripts (not the original autographs) can be held as more reliable. My concern is with Scripture. I can remember a while back on the Forum when a poster seemed to hold the writings of Paul in higher esteem than the rest of Scripture. I also hear quite often a statement along the lines of “Jesus said this” in a manner of dismissing some other part of Scripture based simply on the fact that Jesus spoke it and it was recorded. I think it is important to view all Scripture in the proper perspective of being God-breathed and therefore all as equally important being a revelation from God, even though as you say, we focus on certain portions at various times. I was wondering if others observed the danger of lessening a portion of Scripture, even if done unintentionally, and to that if they even realize that is what they do, while promoting another and if this was something others see with a bit a frequency. Stand in His grace, WOS |
