Doctrines Concerning

The Bible

E. That it is my privilege and responsibility to read, study, meditate and memorize God's Word that I might defend it, proclaim it and practice it.

Pertinent Scripture:

Jos 1:18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death: only be strong and of a good courage.

 

2Ti 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

 

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

 

2Pe 1:3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

Personal Opinion:

I do read, study, and meditate on God's word.

But some times I have to think that God, if he were to be fair would have come out with a book: "God's Word for Dummies."

To plow through the whole Bible and come away with a correct meaning of every story and chapter is a daunting task.

Is there enough time in one's life time to memorize and be prepared to defend doctrine with unbelievers? I think not.

All I can do is do my best in the manner which my common sense leads after asking God's direction.  I do have faith that God will say: "Well done. You have used your talents wisely."
