It has been quite interesting following some of our Protestant posters conversing here as of late on the past few pages of this thread regarding Matt 16:19, (" I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.( "Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”) and 1 Tim. 3:15, (But if I should be delayed, you should know how to behave in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and foundation of truth.) What is the true meaning of "the Way" etc.
-What I find interesting is that these posters are self-proclaimed sola scripturists, but cannot seem to agree on the meanings or interpretations of these passages. Now I could understand the Catholic/Protestant different understanding/ interpretation of these passages but Protestants disagreeing with Protestants on these passages? I find this very interesting!
-So, being this is a thread about asking Protestant/non-denominationally believers questions, I'd like to ask these posters to please explain to us why? Why, if you are studying, learning believing from the same bible, are you have such different interpretations and beliefs in these scripture passages?
-When you all study, read, and learn from the bible, are you not doing so under the guidance of the Holy Spirit? When you all post your interpretations, beliefs, and understandings of scripture, is it your belief you are doing so under the guidance and truth from the Holy Spirit? Now, I am sure you all would agree there is no way the Holy Spirit would teach you error, right? Well, there is only one truth.
-So, which one of you has the truth, and which of you do not? Is it you that has the truth Albion? Or is it you timothyu that has the truth? Hmm.... maybe its you pescador that has the truth? Could it be YeshuaFan has the truth? If you all can't agree, you all cannot be correct in your understanding, belief, and interpretation.
-So.....the big question is to you all, if you can't agree which one of you is correct, and the others are not, to whom or what can you turn to make that decision? One thing for sure, it cannot be the bible because that is what you are disagreeing about! Quite the conundrum I must say!
