What does the Bible say? Look around what passes for Christendom these days, and you'll find numerous contradictory answers to that question. How is a third party to distinguish one from another, to find the "correct" message of the Bible in the competing fray of contradictions? By mere offensiveness?

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth". (2Timothy 2:15).

To: small voice in the wilderness
Me: What does the Bible say? Look around what passes for Christendom these days, and you'll find numerous contradictory answers to that question. How is a third party to distinguish one from another, to find the "correct" message of the Bible in the competing fray of contradictions? By mere offensiveness?

Thee: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth". (2Timothy 2:15).

And ... what? An ill considered interpretation of that passage has resulted in the competing fray of contradictions. Would you simply have our hypothetical "third party" add his voice to the babble? Again, how is he to judge? By offensiveness? By some other means?

Please, be specific.
