Bible Commentators

He thought it was arrogant to think that way. So, I thought I would ask the forum how much stock y'all place in commentators. Do you refer to commentators such as Matthew Henry? How much stock do you place in commentators in the first place?

I use them not as Gospel, or on par with the Word, nut just for another opinion-cuz that is what it is.

Rico, to a certain extant we are all "Bible Commentators" but that doesn't make us or them right.

I agree on this. I use them as mentioned before but I don't grasp them as you mentioned and put them equal to scripture. I love listening to preaching which in reality is nothing but a subject commentary for the most part.
