Bible Note: JMSCOTT: You give scriptural references as "proof" of your points, but they don't in any sense corroborate what you are saying. For instance, you cite Matthew 28:20 to "prove" that the Holy Spirit is God's main way of teaching, yet this verse is part of Jesus commission to His disciples to go into all the world and teach (preach) the gospel. There is a definite sense in which the Holy Spirit teaches, but it is NOT in the sense that you appear to be using it. The Holy Spirit inspired the words of the Bible; the Holy Spirit indwells in the heart of the regenerate believer. But the Holy Spirit does not ignore or go beyond the written word of God; He does not provide special revelation to every human being on the face of the earth. The Scriptures, my friend, are true, are complete, are God's inerrant revelation of Himself. To assert otherwise defies what the Scriptures themselves teach. And, by the way, how do you know "there are so many mistranslated Bibles in the world"? Are you a translation expert and have you seen all translations around the world? From what perspective are you coming? In other words, what is your church affiliation? --Hank |
