Thoughts To Ponder

Discipline ... is to strengthen and restore, not condemn or destroy. 

If I ever had a problem, my parents never had a problem telling me I had a problem.

Can We Always Know Right and Wrong?

by Greg Gwin

 

A friend that we've been studying with has written the following:

"I believe that God gives us minds and reasoning to figure things out for ourselves, based on the Bible. We may have different interpretations that lead us to different conclusions. This does not mean that there is always a right and wrong way; just different ways."

Our friend has done a masterful job of expressing one of the most commonly held religious views in the world today. This "I'm OK, you're OK" philosophy has deceived multitudes. It is patently false.

If the view our friend has espoused is true, consider the ramifications:

1. God Himself would be the originator of all the confusing and contradictory religious doctrines being taught in the world today. But, this is not so! 1 Corinthians 14:33 says He is "not the author of confusion, but of peace".

2. Our Father would also be guilty of giving us a Bible that cannot be understood alike by reasonable men using their God-given intellectual talents. This is false, too. Paul says all we need to do is read and we will be able to understand (Ephesians. 3:2-4).

3. And, how can we know when varied interpretations are allowed and when they are not? For instance, am I allowed to have my own interpretation about murder, adultery, lying, or stealing? If not, why not?

We are forced to the conclusion that the Bible is, in fact, what it claims to be: a complete and perfect guide "unto all good works"
(2 Timothy 3:16, 17). If it is not, then it is meaningless and useless.
