The Scripture vs our opinions

 

I love discussing ideas. But when it comes to spiritual things, it is always helpful to distinguish human opinions versus the Scripture.

However helpful human opinions can be, they must give way where the Scripture speaks. 

This is not about being a bibliolater. It is about being convinced that the Scripture is inerrant and infallible, something that cannot be said to humans. 

Humans change opinions regularly. The Scripture on the other hand is immutable. And most importantly it is perfect, inerrant and infallible. 

Therefore if the Scripture speaks, we need to learn how to listen. We need to put the Bible above our own opinions. 

When we preach, we are especially prone to passing our own opinions as Scripture. They are not. We should clearly distinguish what is our own take on a topic and what the Scripture actually says. 

The Word of God is our authority in faith and practice, in everything that it touches. However helpful men's books are, they should be tested against what the Bible says. 

It is our reliable guide in life. 

Manatiling nakapokus sa biyaya. Huwag ninyong hayaang nakawin ng mga huwad na guro ang inyong karapatang mag-isip ng doktrina.

Isang mahalagang paalala: ang mga blogs na ito ay personal kong opinyon at eksposisyon; hindi ito opisyal na pananaw ng Partido Christian Bible Church. Kung nais ninyong malaman ang kanilang opisyal na posisyun, magtanong kayo sa mga matanda ng simbahan. Ang Nieto Bible Page ay isang hiwalay na ministri mula sa PCBC at independiyente rito. Nakikipagtipon ako sa PCBC, pero may personal akong kumbiksiyon sa mga bagay. Bagama't miyembro (muli) ako ng teaching and ruling leadership ng PCBC, anumang mabasa ninyo rito ay hiwalay sa kanila. Anumang nasusulat ay aking pananagutan. 

Kung nakatulong sa inyo ang mga blogs na ito, mangyaring pasubscribe at pashare sa iba. Ibahagi natin at ikalat ang mga Salita ni Cristo at ang libreng biyaya ng Diyos sa lahat ng dakong Filipino ay lenggwahe. Salamat po.)
