Thank you for that cogent and concise clarification ... with that I would have to say we are in full agreement and I apologize for assumed I totally understood your position.
God bless!
I hope that we can slowly and carefully lay out the ground for our conviction . . . line upon line, precept upon precept. I don’t want to create arguments but in any endeavor to present biblical convictions - Sanballat and Tobias will no doubt show up to help us out (that is, straighten us out).
Either we have a final authority or we don’t. If we don’t then all the other religions are just as valid as Bible believers’ stand. However, we may rejoice greatly that we can proclaim with confidence and conviction, “Thus saith the LORD!”
