Subject: Scripture alone? |
Bible Note: "Do you bite your thumb at us, sir?" --Abraham to Sampson, Act 1, Scene 1 of Romeo and Juliet. Your point about the Reformation is not in dispute. However since then, there have sprung up new traditions, doctrines, denominations, etc. So, for this thread, and this thread alone, anything outside the body of work known as SCRIPTURE should be posted elsewhere. Providing the actual text is merely a courtesy for those who may wish to assimilate your post in one reading. As for citations, the system of chapter and verse were imposed upon scripture long after the canon was set. The original authors and original recipients of scripture would find our current system rather alien. Don't you wonder if compartmentalizing the Word in this way has changed how we perceive it, compared to how it was originally understood? As for the version I prefer, the NIV will suffice, thanks! |
