How often do we base out theology on just a few verses, without regarding what the rest if the Scriptures. Many a false belief has been based on one verse that is misinterpreted. A philosophy of mine has always been to compare Scriptures with Scriptures. Especially on this forum, I have seen a spike in the amount of "opinions" that are being passed of as equal to Scripture, people who claim inspiration that the Bible clearly states are impossibilities. I would like to have a calm, meaningful discussion on the following questions.
1.) Can we agree that the Scriptures take precedence over our own personal opinions or traditions?
2.) Do we search the Scriptures diligently to support our beliefs?
3.) What are the basic doctrines of the Bible that you must hold to in order to be a Christian, according to the Scriptures?
