I probably had your grandfather in logic, philosophy, systematic theology, ethics, and maybe your dad in psychology. I had contact, I think, with your grandmother. She wrote me at least before she died, if you are the same family and of the right age. That's all speculation. Besides that, I don't know you at all. I just know your name. I didn't know that you were flat on your back. How would I have known that? I wouldn't have assumed it, especially because you asked a question about the part of my post that would assume the opposite, that you can turn left and right, etc., were not flat on your back. I didn't know that, and I apologize if I offended you because that was true and I asked you questions that were not valid for your physical situation (I'm still guessing).<br /><br />I can't answer your question, however, because I've got to understand what you mean first, and since I can't ask that, I'm not going to be able to answer it.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting.

We have certainty and infallibility in the Bible. Looking for guidance or validation outside of the Bible places the outside source on the same level as the sacred Scriptures. It therefore is an attack on the God who gave us His all sufficient Word. His Word though hasn't diminished in authority from the time He first gave it. When I speak to people about their lost condition, I challenge their authority for making truth-claims. They have none. Often times, their beliefs are generated from their own logic. Then, if they will permit, I take out my Bible and begin to show them the Scriptures in hopes that they will take heed to what God said (herein lies true authority). I have authority to make valid truth-claims because I have God's Word on it. Authority is at stake among many other things when people want something other than the Bible.<br /><br />Of course, mental health could also be a factor, but that isn't the main point of the discussion, here, so I digress. Good article, Pastor Brandenburg.

That's not how the Christian life is to be lived."<br /><br /> Are you saying Proverbs 3:6 (" In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.") should not be taken literally?<br /><br />I want to understand so if you can clarify....
