jt: I am staying with what I know Lance and I don't recall writing a critique on Tom Wright or Gordon Fee - What I have firsthand knowledge of is the source of the words that lead to life, remember not many wise are chosen.   On Thu, 23 Dec 2004 08:06:27 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jt:When it comes to the Scriptures you are most definitely a 'primary source' person. We on TT have been the recipients of YOUR take on this source. SOMETIMES even benefitting from it. I'm simply going to guess that YOU HAVE NO FIRSTHAND KNOWLEDGE of any that you have critiqued since I've been on TT. Would it not be wiser to stay with what you do know? jt: Apparently the Bereans had a copy of the scriptures so that they were able to check what the apostle Paul was teaching them verbally and this is recorded as an example to our generation. Anyone who is not grounded in the truth of God's Word plays with fire when they swallow what these 'contemporary scholars' come up with. Look at the damage already done by the unbelieving German theologians of the last millenium.   On Thu, 23 Dec 2004 07:07:41 -0500 "Lance Muir" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Jt:It may be a reality that you, and apparently many others on this forum, believe that contemporary scholarship is either of little/no value or even a hindrance. Praise God that such thinking is not universal throughout the believing community. Now, as to the earlier church? They looked to others to teach them as most would not have had b i b l e s.
