Subject: What does this dream mean? |
Bible Note: Hello humbleheart, Allow me to state and provide some perspective, if I may? I hope by doing so, you'll better understand where I'm coming from:-) In answer to your question, "what is Proof-Text? In short, to proof-text is to supply and/or support one's position using scripture without regard to it's context! Here's my concern: A dream is something that is entirely subjective in nature and therefore very difficult- if not impossible- to validate! No one was insulting anyone in their responses. Rom. 4:3 poses the question, "For what does the Scripture say?" (NASB) Why is it when one is asked to account scripturally, it's "he was insulted?" There was no insult, my friend:-) I don't believe you were judged in asking questions! Remember, what we say is on a public forum and open to the scrutiny of all! Again, I fail to see why requiring a solid, scriptural basis for one's statements is so difficult to understand! (cf 1 Thess. 5:21, 1 John 4:1) Jesus statement in Matt. 7:1 is so over-used and taken out of context. Instead, how about 1 Cor. 2:15, "The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one." ? You make an inaccurate assumption to assume I just have "head knowledge"! Let me ask you 2 questions in closing: 1. How would you describe Biblical Discerment?; 2. Do you honestly think that "dream" was of God or is validated in any way by the Word? If so, how?
