What exactly is sound biblical reference?The bible doesn't really address that. One of the most frustrating things about discussing/debating the bible is that you first have to wade through the muck of bad biblical teaching before you can even begin the dicussion. There are so many extra doctrines and tradtions that various denimonations have come up with it is crazy. Most are working from a foundation of misconception when debating the bible. Lots of it is stuff that some dude said and then it becomes a doctrine that people spend years debating about. Somehow it works it's way into discussion with people who are using bad doctrine to debate against the bible. That is pure frustration because at that point you aren't debating sound biblical references. You are simply debating religious teachings. Thankfully there are still good sound bible churches who are textual teachers.
Example: somebody hears some baptist dude say some thing like, dem damn people crazy talkin but dem aliens and stuff...can't be cuz the bible says they ain't nun. The some other dude comes along and is like, the bible can't be true because there is no way in hell we are the only life in the universe (not a proven fact, simple conjecture) and the bible says we are the only life form here (again, not true at all). So you end up having someone trying to prove that the bible is not correct by using someting that isn't proven (life forms other places) and bad theology. Sheesh...where to even start with that. None of it makes sense. Not even to a non-believer if he's honest with himself.
I am not trying to be funny but isn't any biblical reference up for interpretation?
Don't know what kind of church you go to but aren't you all interpreting the bible as you see it and what makes that the right one?
This is in no way a attack at you because when it comes to religion you are probably the most level headed when discussing these things, just want to know how your church comes to its understanding of the bible.
