Bible Note: Pastor Glenn: "To say otherwise is to twist and distort the Scriptures to make them mean something that they don't. Whether such Scripture twisting is done deliberately or in ignorance, it is still Scripture twisting." Along with you, I, too, disagree with the above sentences, which is what I wrote previously. I should have worded it as follows, which was my original thought, although I didn't yet know how to word it. What I meant to say was: "For a preacher or teacher to knowingly and deliberately say otherwise to make it fit their doctrine is to distort the Scriptures. Whether such distortion of Scripture is done deliberately or in ignorance is not for me to say in every case. Yet, I do feel that when we hear or read what teachers and preachers have to say, we need to exercise biblical discernment to know whether those things are so." I apologize if I implied that whenever a person studies the Bible for himself and makes an honest error and misunderstands or misinterprets the Bible, he is doing so knowingly and deliberately. I don't believe that at all. Humbly, Radioman2 |
