I'd argue that even pure theologians have to go outside the Bible to prove a point. The only problem with that is, their definition of what a "false teacher" is is so broad, that they fit the mold of a false teacher oftentimes themselves without realizing it. I assert that when the Bible speaks of "false teachers" and "wolves in sheep's clothing" they are more talking about things we never thought of like certain cult groups and not our beautiful, misinformed (or rightly informed and people just don't agree) brothers and sisters.

Definitions:

Pure theologians - A term I made up for people who don't trust the subject of philosophy and believe the Bible proves itself.

Make thee two trumpets of silver; of a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps. - Numbers 10:2

The two trumpets of God...

1. The Spirit
2. The Word

The Spirit of God will show forth the beauties of the Word of God like none other.

"A theologian's epistemology controls his interpretation of the Bible. If his epistemology is not Christian, his exegesis will be systematically distorted. If he has no epistemology at all, his exegesis will be unsystematically distorted." ~ Gordon H. Clark

There's a big difference with a philosipher adding his own philosophies

He isn't restricted to "get behind"
his teacher

Christians, theologians, are

If they speak incorrectly, they are to be corrected

Otherwise they run the risk of "going out" "progressing above" their HEAD and MASTER rather than "remaining in HIM" as they were told to

You should add me to your ignore list, miknik5. You don't understand me as a person and it will bring you greater peace not to see my posts.

Okay. You can attack my arguments, like you are right now, but if you attack me personally, like you did in 2-3 other threads, I will have to have someone intervene.
I never attacked you
Just reminded you of your posts which were contradictory to other posts

That's all

To be frank, you just don't make much sense, and your posts come off as personally attacking because you write things kind of like this, to paraphrase: "YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN PSYCHIC THEORY OF FORMS???"

I have the links to prove it, assuming you don't edit your posts.

And I would greatly suggest you just add me to your ignore list.

No I don't

I use caps in reverence to GOD and GODLY THINGS

I don't use caps to yell
You'll have to review our posts and you'll see that

Please!

Prove it

If you do and I yelled that, I will apologize. I don't ever yell at people in caps

Therefore, yes. Please find this post I made. I would be humbled and embarrassed if I did that


And please don't imply that I would sneakily go back and edit something I can't imagine I ever wrote

Yeah

About that thread

Why did you tell meh guy you needed a fork to put your eyes out?

Because a couple of members weren't making sense in their theology - not you, but others. I made light of it, and MehGuy seemed to agree with me.
