Subject: Does God speak to us in dreams today? |
Bible Note: What it does NOT say - 2 Tim 3:16 What it does NOT say: 2 Timothy 3:16 All DREAMS are inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; (Emphasis added.) What it DOES say: NASB 2 Timothy 3:16 All SCRIPTURE is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; (Emphasis added.) Note that the definition of Scripture includes only WRITINGS -- only that which is WRITTEN. 'scrip·ture Etymology: Middle English, from Late Latin scriptura, from Latin, act or product of WRITING, from scriptus 1 a (1) capitalized : the books of the Bible -- often used in plural (2) often capitalized : a passage from the Bible b : a body of WRITINGS considered sacred or authoritative 2 : something WRITTEN' (Emphasis added.) (www.m-w.com) I've never before seen anyone interpret 2 Tim 3:16 to prove something that is not Scripture (i.e. dreams) is inspired. It's like taking the verse and reinterpreting it to mean the opposite of what it actually says. Grace to you, Kalos |
