Maniacs1 View Profile History	a good quote Posted : 25 May, 2011 08:42 AM there is a quote in a book that im reading (by chuck swindoll, but this is not his quote, he is using it from someone else) that i find pretty interesting, but i dont mean to post this to start an argument or debate, just to hopefully get people thinking about what they believe about the bible. "You cannot pick and choose from the Bible what you want to believe is inspired. The Bible does not present itself that way. Even more, the Bible will have no sustaining power for life if you make yourself the arbiter of what you will and will not believe about it." the original authors of the quote are kent hughes and bryan chapell Post Reply

Is it in First or Second Peter, and what chapter and verse or verses? Thanks... Knowing the ministry of Dr. Chuck Swindoll and having followed his teachings since 1983, I'm very sure if this is in Peter's writi ngs he would have shared this... so help us out here... Post Reply

View Profile History	a good quote Posted : 26 May, 2011 04:37 AM TS, Thank you. eTBN's post had me a little confused this morning(hadn't had my coffee yet). I couldn't figure out whether she was trying to prove you wrong, wanted all to know she's been up on Swindol's ministry since 83 or there was really something in the Word she didn't know(and was sincere)! ~~~~~~~~~ Before I leave I'll read that in Peter so I can better understand the quote Maniacs posted. Thanks Maniacs. Post Reply
