Bible Question (short): Remember the rest of Christianity? |
Question (full): Whatever happened to Deductive Reasoning. I was under the impression that the study of the Bible should begin with investigation of the all the relevant scriptures, known data and possible viewpoints. Under the unction of the Holy Spirit, and using the reasoning ability given us, we are to create hypothesis. The next obvious step is to apply these hypotheses to real life, and confirm them with actual people and situations in the word. All these steps should be in harmony, and the result should be 'livable' by all believers. Some of the doctrines and dogmas put forth here and in many churches are narrow spectrum. They might work fine in the U.S.A. or in the middle-class, or in a nice big, established church, but they are inapplicable or useless in another environment. Many of the views stated are obviously certain personal thoughts or opinions, then the Bible is used to back it up, with little regard to the rest of the church. I have met many Christians who know that Jesus died for them. But they do not care about the end-time, because circumstances do not allow them the luxury. Please, friends and colleagues, remember the rest of Christianity when you create your arguments and confirm your traditions. Just because someone taught you something very convincingly does not make it right. Understand that I am not speaking to one or two individuals, but to us all. I have been challenged by this forum, and had to repent of much assumption. But God is faithful to exhort us all to better understanding is we hear and think, as well as speak. Blessings to all in Christ Jesus. |
