Science, Creation & EvolutionGenesis Wrong => Bible Wrong?Please forgive me Omega, I typed that message late last night and didn't realize that you had highlighted the "For instruction" part. I will pay more attention next time. My previous message stated something about Paul being the only person in the NT to say that the Bible was the infallable word of God, and I thought you were then quoting the exact verse that I was referring to 2 Tim 3:16.
Again, I'm sorry. I meant for the statement to be general and not directed at you alone. I respect the fact that you have been in Christianity for a long period of time, and I was not accusing you of following Paul. I do not doubt your loyalty to Jesus. Thing is, I see people that get stuck on words written by Paul, and ignore those that were spoken by Jesus. As far as following the Bible. I do. The inerrancy of the Bible is still something that I am finding hard to completely believe, as it was written by men, translated hundreds of times, and includes books that were not unanimously voted in by a council 400 years ago. I follow the gospels as the truth, because they are the words of Jesus. I follow works Paul has written as words of wisdom that were inspired to some degree by the holy spirit. But, I am personally having a struggle understanding why Paul's writings contradict the words of Jesus so often. This could be why I am expressing my "opinions" here, but I feel the Holy spirit is bringing this awareness to me, for some reason. If nothing else, I will consider His word the authority, and consider anything that Paul says as secondary. I'm afraid that many Christians today have become brainwashed by ideas and doctrines and traditions that came from men and not from God. So, instead of becoming closer to Jesus, they are falling into some sort of trap layed out by the enemy. I wasn't trying to get off the topic. I was only replying to the message. I also wasn't trying to single you out. I did not mean to upset you. Is Jesus truly in your heart when you leave angry responses to others? I made some rather quick statements without consideration to their effect, and I apologize, but I do not believe it was necessary to use your recent comments. May you walk in peace brother. |
