Bible Question:
I thought this should have its very own discussion. I've seen on this forum as well as other places, recently and not so recently, the act of maybe placing slightly more of an emphasis on certain Scripture due to accuracy, who spoke it and when it was penned. Is there not problem with this way of thinking due to the author of all Scripture? Shouldn’t we hold all of His words at the same level? Or am I maybe being a bit too sensitive here? Looking forward to comments. Stand in His grace, WOS |
Bible Answer: Hello WOS, There is a guideline I guess you would call it that there are some obvious things in scripture. These are well understood. We are to interpret the difficult passages, those things that are not well understood, in light of the obvious passages. Also there is a guideline that we do not build doctrine on difficult passages. One example might be the handling of snakes. Most of us think thats not a good idea. Blessings, Val |
