Wayne, I agree with you. That is why I adhere to "study to shew myself approved unto God". I also agree that those verses will unlikely change your mind, for your are approaching them with a preconcieved opinions and notions. But... my wish is that all would just take the passage as it stands. But... in the same sense, I wish my father would get saved... yet I cannot make anyone do something that they do not choose to do. Also, just as cults can be built on one verse, a man can be strengthened on one verse, a man can be saved with one verse, a man can be reproved of sin with one verse, etc. I am not claiming this passage to be the Gospel, but I will adhere to it wholeheartedly as best I can. The same goes for the rest of scripture. Wayne, I am sure you can concede that we will only be chasing our own tails to continue this discussion, but it is your call. |

Wayne: I mean no ill in the section you quoted me on, just what I said, I thank you for making the confession.You are right though, when you say, "your only change", for that is essentially what anyone who doesn't adhere to the literal application is doing, changing God's word. When you state that "nobody else sees it that way" you only strengthen my stance. For one, the majority is almost always wrong. Two, I am a Baptist (not some SBC washup or Separate wannabe, but a true Heritage Baptist), my heritage is one of being a minority with many not "seeing it that way". And, that is okay, most of the world doesn't see things God's way. Most of the Chrisitans don't see things God's way. Furthermore, you asked why the Bible doesn't specifically say what YOU want it to say. I would recommend reading Isa. 28:9-13, Heb. 4:12, 2 Pet. 3:15-16, etc. I would have gladly put those verses in here, but lack of space will not permit. Beyond this, as is the case, at times some can recieve parts of the Bible while others will not. Examples are numerous, but such is the case in most of the walks of most Christians I know, the more they accepted God's word, the more they gleaned. Food for thought, pun intended. |
