Linda also has disagreed with some of my posts. Expressing agreement does not make someone a disciple. I have expressed agreement with you on some posts. Does that mean that you think I am YOUR disciple? Lance wrote: > Private interpretation DOES INDEED EXIST > ON TT!! Some might privately interpret Scritpure, but for the believer, this is not allowed. I would hope that anyone who expresses his viewpoint is doing so with the idea that someone will correct him if he is wrong. Our goal is to adopt the message being conveyed by the Holy Spirit in Scripture, not our private interpretation of it.

I don't have that good a memory considering the volume of posts made here. Maybe it was Judy. You had better ask whoever authored that what they meant. I hope it does not mean that they have a right to interpret Scripture their way and others have a right to interpret Scripture in a different way. It sounds to me like the meaning is that based upon their understanding of Scripture, what they are about to rebut has no Biblical foundation. Lance wrote: > Am I incorrect in identifying you, Judy and Linda > as having a dislike, if not disdain, for 'tradition'? I can't speak for them, but for me, I appreciate tradition. I would not say that I dislike tradition. At the same time, I recognize bad tradition as well as good tradition.

My view, and I assume that of Judy and Izzy also, is that Scripture is the ultimate authority, and if a tradition is not bearing good fruit, and it is not in Scripture, we should not be afraid to depart from it. The truths of Scripture are eternal, but the fruitfulness of tradition is often temporary. Peace be with you.
