Subject: Scripture alone? |
Bible Note: Parable, Good afternoon. I've started this reply to your request for scripture only several times, only to delete them, but here goes. For many people that find their way to this forum it is because they have a question. If they have a question about the Word and are using this forum then they have access to the very same scripture(s) that you are requestimg to be used in answer to their questions. This apparently isn't enough, or they would not be asking the question. When the Lord was asked questions by those around Him, He had the scriptures too, but He didn't constantly answer 'It is written in Exodus or Leviticus...', He answered the questions consistent to what was written but in a way that could be understood and applied. We can either be so spiritual and Biblically knowledgeable that we are of no earthly good to anyone or we can do our best to follow the lead of our King and attempt to open up the Scriptures to those who are having trouble understanding. Thanks for listening :-) Cheri |
