Subject: Study Bible Forum or Bible Philosophy |
Bible Note: Hank Wow! And Wow! again. Boy did my last post on this subject fail that miserably? Let me say it this way. Scripture taken out of context or used as a proof test that does not stand the litmus test of the whole Bible is wrongly handling the word of God and we have been charged to correctly handle God’s word. Expressing a biblical truth but not providing a scripture may not be the inductive of correct Bible study but it is not wrong. In preaching your absolutely right God’s promise was “His Words” would not return void, God said nothing about our Words. Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. If we want to see people saved and lives changed the Word of God has to be spoken. What I was trying to say is just because we have a verse does not mean what we are implying with that verse is correct. And expressing a Biblical truth but neglecting to include the accompanying verse is not philosophizing nor is it merely offering an opinion. The other day someone asked a question and said provide a verse to prove this is right or wrong. Hank the Biblical answer was not found in any verse. To answer that question you would have to offer an opinion based on sound Biblical exegesis. I think the main point I may have neglected to reinforce in my other post was this comment “SOUND BIBLICAL EXEGESIS”. There are we now in the same boat or do I still need my vest? EdB |
