Subject: Are Reason and Obedience opposites? |
Bible Note: Earnest, Possibly I'm misunderstanding you, but it seems that you're advocating experience over the infallible Word of God? If you're not, I apologize. You state,"Reason is the cause for the chaos in Word Study" How so? Certainly we as Christians are not to "check our brains at the door" and toss reason to the wind? Further more you say "Any number of persons can sit in a congregation and receive different tailor-made messages from the heart of God personally to them." Could you possibly clarify with a scriptural basis or elaborate? Lastly, I'm not clear on your definition of Truth. You write "TRUTH is always received in our spirit first, and then revealed to our heart (head/ reason/ thinking)! It is what we KNOW/ HEAR, etc. that brings truth and unity!" Jesus said in John 14:6 the He is the way, the truth, and the life" and in John 17:17 He said "Sanctify them with truth, Thy Word is truth." How is it that what we know/hear, etc. brings truth and unity? Are you referring to the written Word or our interpretation/understanding of it? I don't quite follow.
