We filter what we hear the preacher say. We filter the books we read. And we filter the Bible. No matter how right we think we are we need to look to scripture with an honest attempt to understand it as God intended it to be understood. This practice has reinforced a lot of what I learned in College, changed perspective on other things, left me totally confused on a few issues, and completely reversed my position a a couple issues. But it took me deciding that no matter how smart my teachers and preachers were, they weren't the authority that would judge me. God's word was that authority.</p>Chris MarsdenSun, 12 Mar 2006 14:45:09 -0000
