I found a cool YouTube video here by a pastor explaining inspired scripture:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSVLFhZnyts&mode=related&search=

He has done more videos too on there that I think are great. I'm glad he's putting them on YouTube.

Confess, you like it??? :)
I liked it! Thanks!

Unfortunately, and I don't know about others around here, but I find myself shying away from the term "inspired" mainly due to so many LCMS pastors who redefine it to mean that there are errors in Scripture.

I am in the Southeastern District, so there are MANY of these kinds of pastors around here who I have seen do this.

Has anyone else seen this?

If that is what they say then they are denying the LCMS teaching of inerrancy and inspiration, which is taught at our seminaries. The Scriptures themselves speak of their inspiration. Who are they to go against God?

God help the LCMS!!!

Truly! I suppose I keep guard over what words I use now-a-days only because of things like this in my area.

Of all the people to not trust, I unfortunately do not trust pastors until they gain my trust only because of the division I have come across.

Actually, I have not seen or heard of LCMS Pastors redefining the meaning of inspired. I would have a hard time of that too.

I found something there that brought up questions in my mind at the 3min and 58sec of the tape.

Prior to it he was saying that the Scriptures are inspired. It was a solid teaching.

Then, at that point, he said that not all Scriptures have the same value.

And he gave an example of the text of not eating pork in the OT as compared to the text of being allowed to eat pork in the NT as of greater value.

I do not think I agree with his definition of Scriptures as having different values at different parts of the texts.

It should be the same value yet perhabs a different application.

Since EACH word of God is flawless.
PR 30:5 "Every word of God is flawless;

Thanks,
Ed

The point that he is making is that those dietary restrictions and the other ceremonial laws of the OT, while being the inspired, flawless word of God, are no longer applicable to the Christian because they have been fulfilled in Christ.
There are some Christian traditions that still teach strict adherence to many of the ceremonial laws. The Seventh-day Adventists and Seventh-day Baptists are examples.

I understand that.
It just the term "different value" that bothers me.

He could have said "different application".

In itself, every word of God has an even value.

Let's take circumcision as an analogy to abstaining from pork.

RO 2:25 Circumcision has value if you observe the law, but if you break the law, you have become as though you had not been circumcised. ...
RO 3:1 What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way! ...


So in itself circumcision has much value, it is just not applied to us.
So is with God's word.
In itself it has much value, but certain things in it are not applicable to all.

He should not have quantified God's word as having different values.

But then again, I would not want to make an argument concerning the word "value", since that in itself would have "no value" at all. :)

2TI 2:14 ... quarreling about words; it is of no value, and only ruins those who listen.

Thanks,
Ed

The video on Youtube is only a part of the whole. It benefits nothing for us to argue the point, not hearing the whole context in which he spoke.
