Thoughts 1 June 2018

I keep reading the posts on different social media outlets of various Christian friends I have and how we can attack each other over differing interpretations of Scripture when the main point of it is salvation of the lost through a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

The Bible is the Bible and it says what it says. If you cannot handle the King James Version get a New International Version or an interlinear version or any other translation. You could even do as I and compare several different translations during your reading and study. If you truly search for God you will find Him.

I believe the Bible is the living, inspired, inerrant, immutable Word of the living, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent God. Yes, I am one of those people. I do not believe any one denomination has ownership of the one true theological doctrine.

There are doctrinal issues I will not compromise on and here is a partial, by no means complete, list: the deity of Jesus Christ, the Trinity, the inerrancy of Scripture, the need for repentance and salvation and the only means for that is an acceptance and belief in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. I will be more than happy to talk about anything but I will not argue or have a discussion become ugly. It may be we have to agree to disagree and that is an acceptable outcome for me.
