Subject: dead bury the dead? |
Bible Note: Ed, in the briefest way possible, here's the summation of my thoughts regarding using extra-biblical sources. I hold that they may in certain instances be useful in providing a somewhat broader and more detailed canvas of persons, places, and things that are mentioned, but may not be described in detail, in the biblical text itself. But of God's revelation of Himself to man and of His plan of redemption we need not, indeed should not, consult any extra-biblical source, because only through His perfect and complete revelation of Himself through His inspired word are we to find the right answers to our spiritual questions and the right solutions to our spiritual problems. We quickly fall into a pit of error and confusion when we rely for our spiritual counsel on any, I say ANY, document other than the Bible itself. --Hank |
