Victory, you are arguing the same points that Titus is, and it's a point that no one is making. The writer of the blog, does not suggest that Christians stop reading the Bible, to the contrary, he is suggesting they read it with motives of unity, not division, of unity, not discord. He suggesting reading it to learn of Him and His ways. Perhaps you didn't read the actual blog and only Bibleman's posting of it. For whatever reason his posting excludes that last paragraph and this very important sentence...."If we don’t promote anything else to quell the confusion of “biblical” truths, the answer is yes, Bible engagement is not inherently a good thing."victoryword wrote:Going without Bible reading for the Christian is like going without food for the body. The body can only survive so long without food (I think 90 days before it dies). The spirit of man will certainly die without reading, studying, and meditating on the Scripture, which is God's Word.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4)
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. (Job 23:12)
Satan is using that blog to get Christians to starve themselves to death.
If you, or anyone, is reading the Bible without a heart towards coming to the One in whom there is no confusion, then reading it is not inherently good.
