The issue is, is that the unsaved also have Bibles. Unless you are first given the Gift {indwelling of the Holy Ghost} to grasp Scripture, your quoting of it is simply an act of futile ignorance.

Lost, please tell us who's right and who is wrong? Seems like you have the correct verses to all this discussion!

Lost - I see what you are saying. I have often wondered the same thing: How can scripture refute scripture?
I think when this happens, someone may be reading it the wrong way, or interpreting it differently.
By all means, I think it is more important to have a relationship with God than to sit here and argue about who's relationship is right and who's is wrong. Like Rebel says- who decides who is right?
We'll leave that up to God to decide... Praise the Lord!!!!
But I agree with you lostprophet. We should all be building each other up, and helping each other's relationship with God, not tearing each other down. Lord knows we get enough of that in the political forum!!!!!

That happens when we accomodate scripture to our belief or our agendas, instead of accomodating ourselves to what is written.
It is called "manipulation".

The scripture is much like a picture puzzle. The true picture can only be seen when all the peices are in the correct place. Forceing one pieceinto the wrong place results in many pieces that will never find their proper place until the one that is in the wrong spot is removed and placed where it is designed to be.
One scripture doesn't refute another, it just exposes the forceing of a scripture into a doctrine where it does apply. It is called, "rightly dividing" the word.

Scripture does not refute scripture--it will only clarify and reinforce itself. I agree, all to oftenone verse or group of verses is used to "proove" that another verse doesn't apply, which makes no sense at all. I don't know how many times I've seen and heard "Well, it doesn't say anything about that in this verse!"--so can be base our beliefs on just the verses that seem to agree with what we choose to believe? Personally, I think we should mold our beliefs around all of the Bible, not just parts of it.
I wish we could agree more here, but I reckon it's human nature. None of us wants to be wrong, especially concerning something we have believed and many have even taught for many years; and all too often when someone is shown scripture that points out their error they just get mad and walk away rather than accept it.
My opinion is that if we'd just take what the Bible says, the way it says it--and leave out the opinions, traditions, "translations",what it "doesn't" say, etc.--we'd all agree a whole lot more.

rebel im not saying that i have the right scriptures, im not trying to say my vrses are right and i know the bible more than other, i know i dont, but i do know that the bible is without error, and wothout contradiction, i just see people trying to argue with other by saying my scriptuure says this therefore urs is wrong, now i know we must use scripture but like lbr says, we must take a look at the whole, i could pretty much take any verse i wanted to and without reading the rest of the chapter or without knowing the context in which the verse is used what i say has no bearing, and there fore my argument is has no backing except i have a flashy verse..oooo he has a verse w/e he says must be true...come on!...this is rediculous, we cant do this with any piece of literature, so why can we do this with the Bible?
please read
Praise the Lord!!!!
