Re: The Scriptures Are Subjective
very nice
and, ha touche`(shazeep). that is just poor communication, maybe; i am always open to other interpretations, even if i might pick at them. heck, i'm pretty convinced that the world is getting worse lol.
i think that 'the correct interpretation and application of scripture, and what makes them the correct, definitive, and absolute right with all others being wrong' belongs solely to the Holy Spirit, and that none of us needs an intercessory there. at the same time, when i see what strikes me as apostasy posted, i would consider it irresponsible to not reflect where Scripture might disagree, and let the reader determine for themselves. And welcome any further rebuttal.
i was raised Pentecostal, more or less, and most of us would admit that the movement attracts a rather legalistic contingent that may be said to represent the movement as a whole, at least to an extent. judgement is rife. this does not mean that these people do not fear God and love Christ, but that any approach has its pitfalls, and these are mirrored in the popular opinion of the movement.
