Hi Judy. I hope you were not offended by my statement. I will say that quoting my statement only partially could lead to a statement that I would not agree with. For example, taken by itself, I would not ever say that the Bible is not Scripture. I made the statement the way that I did in order to try and forcefully make a point. Think of it like the way Jesus said some hard things in John 6, that some might dig a little deeper and get some gems. I was applying set theory to the relationship of the Bible and Scripture. Said another way, all Bible is Scripture, but not all Scripture is Bible. By the way, did you know that we have a Bible from the time of Athanasius (from before he died), and that this old Bible contains books which our present Bible does not? Did you know that Athanasius was the one who listed the 27 New Testament books as canonical which we currently have in our Bible? I may not be posting too much today. I have been invited to give three presentations to Gene Edwards and company in Jacksonville, Florida this weekend (Friday and Saturday, March 19 & 20). I am still working on some material for that. I think you know of Gene Edwards, Judy, so I am sharing that with you. For others, he is an author within the Home Church movement (website: www.GeneEdwards.com). Please pray about this as I have been building toward this for a year now. Gene will be there as will a representative from every U.S. church associated with him and I hope to raise some issues that may be somewhat radical and difficult for them to hear. I am praying for a break through in communication. :-) Anyone who would like to come to Jacksonville for these meetings is welcome. Write me for details. Terry has indicated that he is coming, and I look forward to meeting him. Peace be with you.
