Author	Thread: The Interpretation of Bible Truth is Not Democratic
Admin	The Interpretation of Bible Truth is Not Democratic Posted : 9 Apr, 2011 12:49 PM I have noticed a number of people posting basically saying 'I can post more Bible verses that support my view than you can to support your view; so I am right and you are wrong' I have been speechless concerning this line of thought until now. All the Bible is true, every verse. One cannot add up verses that support a supposed truth and the verses that oppose a supposed truth to conclude which is the correct truth. Bible truth is not determined by a democracy of verses or adherents to a particular view! If there are verses that support a supposed truth, that are in conflict with another supposed truth supported by other verses, of this you can be certain : Either both supposed truths are in error or they are both correct and the supposed conflict is in error. I wish people would stop trying to prove their point, and instead search out the truth together. Post Reply

But if any person does sin, we have an advoctae (one who will interceed for us) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. And He is the PROPITIATION (atoning sacrifice) FOR OUR SINS, AND NOT ONLY FOR OUR SINS, BUT ALSO FOR THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD." I John chapter 2 James will you please explain this passages? There is no need for any other scriptures, just explain what John is speaking about in these two verses. Post Reply

Since you posted this during a discussion from PJ's thread about the saints of old going to heaven, I'll take this as an admission from you that I posted way more scriptural support for the idea that a person upon death is unconscience and waiting for Jesus to raise them AT HIS COMING than there was scriptural support for the idea that a person immeidiately goes to heaven when they die. Thanx 2S. I was surprised at James response because he said my scriptures were opposed to 2,ooo years of church tradition. 2S writes: 'I wish people would stop trying to prove their point and instead search out the truth together.' What is this , a democracy? II Tim 3 vs 16 : All scripture is given by insoiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine,for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness. Post Reply
View Profile History	The Interpretation of Bible Truth is Not Democratic Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 06:29 AM Two scriptures establish a bible truth, not ten, nine ,eight or whatever you desire. 2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

View Profile History	The Interpretation of Bible Truth is Not Democratic Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 08:18 AM I think some of the responses here have proven the point twosparrows was making in the thread topic. " I posted more scriptures so I'm right". Oh and I didn't post 50 scriptures to back up what I just said (so I may be wrong. Lol) et, I apologized to you once but why do you continually imply folks on this forum don't know what they're talking about? Amen two and saved! Post Reply

In the previous thread you elude to; you use the word "Jack...", saying that is what you were called. This is incorrect. If you go to Numbers 22:23 it says "When the donkey saw.....she turned off the road" and in verse 25 "she pressed close to the wall" and verse 27 "she lay down" Even the angel of the Lord said in verse 33 "If she had not turned away" Therefore you are in error. We can safely conclude from Scripture the donkey was a Jenny, not a Jack. Now I understand why you were offended. I did not intend to imply you were masculine or of the male gender. I hope this clears up this misunderstanding, and we can finally move on. Btw, your welcome in advance for the supporting Scripture. Post Reply

You redefine the word "whosoever" Ryan - Alrighty, so James redefines 'whosoever'. You harp on that word. That word is not found in scripture. I don't understand why you are so high on that word when it is not even found in the original language. It means anyone believing or everyone who believes in Christ. John 3:16 say that Christ died for anyone who believes. It does not say that He died for whosoever wills him/herself to belief. You can't just add that to the text because that's what you want it to say. You can say John 3:16 mean God gave love the world in this way, He sent His son so that everyone believing in Him would have eternal life. To somehow conclude that the verse says anything about man and him having a will to come to Christ is just adding to the text what is not there. Surely you can see this. Post Reply

View Profile History	The Interpretation of Bible Truth is Not Democratic Posted : 10 Apr, 2011 01:30 PM Ryan, it is really a mute point because when you take the words as a phrase, they mean the same thing. Whosoever believes = Everyone who believes. ??? Post Reply
