If I find it in Scripture, I believe it.

Sorry.... That's just not good enough. So vague as to be useless.

Does "biblicism" mean that you believe nothing that you cannot find in Scripture?

Do you suggest, perhaps, that calculus or chemistry are not to be believed, because they're not in Scripture?

What does "belief" even mean, according to your definition of "biblicism?" Does it mean that you take Jesus literally when he describes Himself as "the gate" to the sheep fold? Does it mean that His parables mean exactly what they say -- even though Jesus said that He spoke in parables for the opposite reason: "This is why I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand." (Matt. 13:13)

It's a nice slogan, Blogger, but it doesn't do much for you in real life -- I guarantee you that you don't live most of your life on the principle you just espoused.

How about this...if I find it in Scripture, I believe it. If it conflicts with Scripture, then I don’t. Better?
