Subject: May I share a simple story to help? |
Bible Note: Greetings Sir! We would seem to have similar beliefs about Scripture then! I too believe God has preserved and protected it. My concern that one can take one of two extremes when it comes to interpretation. 1) One can say that interpretation is impossible and that anything can mean anything. At which point, Scripture becomes meaningless. 2) Or, one can say that interpretation is simply a matter of plugging in definitions to words and woodenly following that view. At which point, Scripture becomes meaningless. Personally, I am an inerrantist when it comes to Scripture. I believe that every word of Scripture is exactly the word that God intended. Culture, customs, and languages are simply tools to help us understand those words. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
