RE: One Yeti's Perspective 2-9-18: Chaos
If you are correct, then there is never a cornerstone from which to build. It is always moveable based on wherever and individual wishes to place it.
The good new must be a written text or it can never be a preserved truth.
This, of course, coming from a person who believes God always creates order rather than chaos. :-) :-)
Haha well played! The difference might be "to build from". If we think of the early church and what they had. They had Torah, and other now old testament books, but they didn't have M,M,L and J. Those came later and were circulated later still. They didn't have the NT, haha they were living the NT. I think as we get excited about what church to build we should remember the church Jesus taught in and against. If we focus on simply building an organization to preserve it would be a museum, and how can we grow from there. Museums could be a place to remember cultures that have passed. I truly believe we can have order and truth without our current modern structure. "Lifted me from the mirey clay, put my feet upon the rock and now I know" I think about 2 Chron. 7:14. If we are to seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, coundn't that resemble order? 🙃
That would be order. The NT believer did have the Torah. But they also recognized the writings of, for instance, Paul, as equally Scripture.
BTW, I am traveling to preach at a conference this weekend. Won't be able to respond again until Tuesday or Wednesday.
Blessings.
Great! Be safe! I enjoyed your perspective today!
