    T That was a massive change, removing 14 books. As some would say, it was a removal of 17.5% of God's word.

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    Personally I'm not interested in Calvinism. I stick with the SPIRIT of God and what He says to me. For me it's that simple.

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    Jesus taught His disciples how to pray, from what He experienced. Ask God not to lead you into temptation. Why? Because Jesus knew how challenging it was when His Father had His Spirit lead Him to tempted by Satan.

    Christ Died for All

    Quick question. Who did Jesus buy Adam back from? Who did He actually pay?

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    I'd be interested to know who told you this? If you want to use the bible as your means of confirmation then may I suggest the following. Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Spirit He just received to be tempted by Satan. Satan sifted Peter. Paul said, hand them over to Satan for the...

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    I guess I was saying that God uses Saran and demons Yes. Satan and His angels have many different roles. Maybe, but when we zoom out further we see that Satan and his fellow evil spirits are used (employed) by the Sovereign Creator.

    Reader Poll - Where did the Bible come from?

    I would play it even more safe than relying and trusting in Orthodoxy and Fundamentalism. That is, relying on a living Person, the Spirit sent to us from God the Father. He can be relied on and trusted in relation to every teaching, every doctrine. Remember, He is the Spirit Who has access...

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    Whether this Calvin guy was demon possessed or not I can't say for certain. But he seemed to be used by God for some purpose. I believe he and his acquaintances had an influence over the bible, KJV bible. Didn't these guys change the original 80 book KJV and reduce it to the 66 KJV that many...

    "Is excessive interpretation the root cause of differences in understanding and doctrinal divisions in the Bible?"

    Yes, amen. My question is about the last statement. Unity in the Essentials. Did you read this in the bible or receive this directly from the Holy Spirit. I've heard this quoted before but out of interest, where is its origin in the bible?
