Unfortunately, when I was reading this afternoon, I came across this very disheartening quote
from a fairly well-known theological apologist:
- I also think a serious reader of Scripture can doubt that God's Word plays a determinative role in the human knowledge of God.
I leave out the source for the author's own sake. But my question to this man is, "
If you can't understand God from the Scriptures, then where do you find understanding about God?" I was shocked when I read this quote. I know what you're thinking, "Geoff took this quote out of context." I answer, "Nope." So I go back to my original thought, if you can't know God from the Scriptures - or as he would phrase it,
you can doubt God's Word (problem there #1)
plays a determinative role in the human knowledge of God. I leave you with this thought:
Never read and take in everything you hear as absolute, true, biblical and sound truth - even from so-called "evangelicals."
2 Corinthians 10:5 5 We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ,
