| Posted 2/13/2002 12:35 PM (GMT -6) |   | I have a question.
If the context of a passage clearly supports a particular doctrine, can we, should we, use the passage to teach something else, even though we would be skewing what it actually taught.
Also, should we teach strained implications?

| Posted 2/13/2002 1:49 PM (GMT -6) | | Those seem like rhetorical questions to me. You know the answers.
Here is another one. if ONE person has a teaching, should they teach it if they are the only one "being led" to that teaching. Or should they work their teaching and preaching within the "where two or three..." model.
Ooops. That was rhetorical too. | | Back to Top | | |

| Posted 2/13/2002 3:03 PM (GMT -6) | | I'm not sure RB is being pedantic or rhetorical. If one accepts the premise that Scripture is consistent, there may be times when, given OTHER THINGS scripture teaches, the apparent meaning of a verse can't be accepted.
Do all of you teach a) women shouldn't talk in church b) wear jewlery c) expensive clothing d) slaves should submit to their masters e) that the Son will be subordinate to the Father (I Cor 15:29), etc... EVERYBODY at some points has to admit there are passages that are difficult for their views.
This shouldn't surprise us, however. Science moves forward by neglecting some evidence. It has to, for ones theory never squares perfectly with ALL the evidence.
