Bible Note: Hi Hank: This is a quick one. I tried to lay out a clear explanation to you. Hope they were not too long May I state that I have no intention of making the scriptures less than they are. They are a miracle and wonder to us. It is perhaps the only book that is so simple in its messages yet impossible to believe without God actually helping through the Spirit. We believe it from cover to cover. For believers to have differing opinions about a passage is not surprising. SOme know more than others. We do believe the scriptures are trustworthy of course. A non believer thinks it untrustworthy. Someone at some time must prove to the unbeliever that the scripture is truth. The Holy Spirit does this. From a believer's view point, it is not testing what the scriptures say is true or false, but how others interpret what they think it means. The scriptures are often twisted to suit the situation, and those doing it can try to convince others of the incorrect intertretation. That is what we all have to test. We have to test every interpretation of others, not the scriptures themselves once we believe that they are God's word. Sincerely Henry and Emmy. |
