Bible Note: Truly, we often quibble over details. Of course, such quibbling has a long and illustrious tradition. Since before the time of Paul all the way up to the present, Jews gather regularly for debates over the Law. Contending over the Word of God is a blessing in many ways. (Can you imagine what it would be like if we had some philosophical tyrant dictating to us what we were to believe? Blech!) However, lest people think otherwise, what we believe in common regarding the Bible, covers far more ground than that over which we disagree. Our contentions represent struggling with the Word itself. But since the 1500's, there is far more unity than some would have us believe. |
