AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not tolerate sound doctrine and accurate instruction [that challenges them with God's truth]; but wanting to have their ears tickled [with something pleasing], they will accumulate for themselves [many] teachers [one after another, chosen] to satisfy their own desires and to support the errors they hold, |
Subject: Tired of quotes that devalues others. |
Bible Note: Terms like Hermeneutics, Exegesis, Context, SolaScriptura get thrown around Yet men like John MacArthur, Jack Hayford, John Piper, Stanley Horton, and many others all claim to use these principals/philosophies/teaching/doctrines/disciplines to reach their theological position yet each one is different than the others. Some are very different others are only slightly different, but still different. If we move on to denominations each again claiming to use the above principals have different doctrines/statements of faith. Compare a Catholic Catechism and a Protestant confession/ creed each backs their position with scripture, each says the other is wrong. It seems to me instead of Exegesis,Context,Sola Scriptura, Hermenutics being used to reach a truth or consensus of truth they are terms most often used to defend for or against or to bring objection to another's position. End result, disunity in the body of Christ! Who then wins? The adversary. Why is it we try so hard to prove another's Christian walk is wrong or following something we don't agree with. We fight among ourselves or slander others over doctrine such as the Trinity, once Saved Always Saved, Jesus only, methods of baptism, meanings of communion, who wrote our creed, or how it was formulated. It seems some love to post quotes that ridicule, belittle or otherwise call into question another's beliefs. And when called to task theyrespond with terms like Exegesis, Hermenutics, context, Sola Scriptura and few favorite verses that seem to support their position. As if to say all others are too stupid,mistaken, sloppy, lazy to have done similar study. Because if they had they would have come to a conclusion that agrees with them. |
