Glenn, I'm somewhat offended by your comments here. If you only care about what they Bible says, why be on this list? You have a Bible, don't you? Just go read it. The purpose of a list like this is to hear what other people have to say. Not everyone has to speak in the same way, nor do they have to express their views the same way. I think ultimately what Glenn desires, Marlin, is to see if you have Scriptures from the Bible that help reveal the truth that you hold. Personally, I believe in truth apart from the Bible, so I don't have as much difficulty from someone who speaks without being a Bible thumper. I believe the Bible is God's Word, but I do not believe that the Bible is solely the way that God speaks and teaches us. The Bible itself teaches us of the promise of the Holy Spirit, who would teach us all things. In 1 Corinthians 12, the Bible teaches us that the Holy Spirit would use people to express the mind of Christ. Therefore, I believe we should read the Bible, listen to the Holy Spirit who is shed abroad in our hearts by faith in Jesus Christ, and hear others who have been filled with the Holy Spirit. That right there is about three sources of truth, which is really all of one. I hope both Marlin and Glenn can be patient with one another to sort out our varied approaches to truth. At the very least, we should never say that we don't care what others think because that is the very purpose of this list, to hear what others think. Peace be with you.
