SCRIPTURAL MEDITATION: To Be FREE From SCRIPTURAL ERRORS: GROW in GRACE!
There’s the NEED to GROW graciously in a DIDACTIC order of SCRIPTURAL KNOWLEDGE if you must be FREE from SCRIPTURAL ERRORS.
TWO OF MANY EXAMPLES ARE THESE:
** The caution and charge of Jesus to the Sadducees while on His earthly ministry in their Scripturally twist, errors and mistaken conclusions through ignorance, making them to NEVER experience the POWER of God. Matthew 22:29.
** And also of Apostle Peter who consciously caution and charge those followers of him in their twist, errors and mistaken intent and regards to Apostle Paul’s writings, which many have misconstrued in their UNDERSTANDING and INTERPRETATION. 2 Peter 3:14-18.
SCRIPTURAL CONTEXT WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:
“. . . 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, YE DO ERR, not KNOWING the SCRIPTURES, nor the power of God . . .” Matthew 22:23-33.
“So, beloved, since you are looking forward to these things, be DILIGENT AND MAKE EVERY EFFORT to be found by Him [at His return] spotless and blameless, in peace [that is, inwardly calm with a sense of spiritual well-being and confidence, having lived a life of obedience to Him]. 15 And consider the patience of our Lord [His delay in judging and avenging wrongs] as salvation [that is, allowing time for more to be saved]; just as our beloved brother Paul also wrote to you according to the wisdom given to him [by God], 16 speaking about these things as he does in all of his letters. IN WHICH THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, which the UNTAUGHT and UNSTABLE [who have fallen into error] TWIST and MISINTERPRET, JUST AS THEY DO THE REST OF THE SCRIPTURES, TO THEIR OWN DESTRUCTION. 17 Therefore, [let me warn you] beloved, knowing these things beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the ERROR of unprincipled men [who distort doctrine] and fall from your own steadfastness [of mind, knowledge, truth, and faith], 18 but GROW [spiritually mature] in the grace and KNOWLEDGE of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory (honor, majesty, splendor), both now and to the day of eternity. Amen” 2 Peter 3:14-18 (Amplified).
“My people are DESTROYED for LACK of KNOWLEDGE: because thou hast REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also REJECT thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children” Hosea 4:6.
“Therefore my people are GONE into CAPTIVITY, because they have NO KNOWLEDGE: and their HONOURABLE men are FAMISHED, and their MULTITUDE dried up with thirst . . .” Isaiah 5:13-15.
“And now, brethren, I COMMEND you to God, and to the WORD of his grace, which is ABLE to BUILD you up, and to GIVE you an INHERITANCE among all them which are SANCTIFIED” Acts 20:32.
Further Scriptural Reading: John 8:32; Hebrews 5:11-14; 1 Peter 2:1-4; 2 Timothy 3:14-17; 2 Timothy 2:15; Acts 17:30-31.
