II Timothy 2: 16
Avoid godless, foolish discussions that lead to more ungodliness.
Several decades ago when I was a young Christian I was confronted with some ideas that cast doubt on the veracity of Scripture, that maybe our modern translations have missed some points in our early human story that change how we see all that has happened since then.
After considering these concepts, I decided to trust God that He knows what He's doing and has given us everything we need to know to live our lives in Truth and righteousness (II Timothy 3:16-17), and that I didn't need these extra-Biblical stories to draw me away from God's revealed Truth in the Bible.
Since then, I've been granted to be able to attend a Bible College and learn how to study the Bible honestly, to understand it the way God intends. And He has been faithful to lead me into some wonderful understandings of His workings in this World, in History (His Story), and in my own life. Hence this blog. (Thank you for reading it, I hope it helps you, too.)
So I will continue to study in God's Holy Scripture, and try to avoid those "godless, foolish discussions" by relying on "All Scripture" that is "God-breathed and useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that" I "can be thoroughly equipped for every good work."
And you too, dear Reader, don't take my word for anything! I could be in error on some point; check out what I say, and if you have a question, I welcome your comments and will consider your view, and try to answer whatever difference you have in your understanding of what God is saying to us. May we "reason together."
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
