One soteriology says that man is spiritually dead and needs to be brought to life. The other soteriology says that man is sick and needs to heal himself. They both can't be true, or we must accept the concept of what may be true for you may not be true for me.
Ultimately, what you are saying is that all of the writings outside of the apostolic writings are junk, worthless, and merely curiosities for the bored. We can no longer stand on the shoulders of the great theologians, but must suspect every one of them as a tool of Satan to deceive.
Nothing like setting back the Church two thousand years.
Ok Moose, you disappoint me, i thought you read better than this. At no time and no place in the post you quote in part did i either state or insinuate that all non inspired writings are worthless...and you know it.
IIRC i told Big Mack to check everything, which is sound advice.M
Luther did not have access to GRAMCORD software, and neither did A.T. Robertson. It is best to check the work in light of what is known by...you guessed it, both scripture and subsequent reseach.
You don't by any chance STILL believe in spontaneous generation do you?
