The Nugget:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 19:11 Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My Comment:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Scriptures are designed for admonition. If we read and study the Bible correctly, it will correct us when we are wrong. If how we live is not pleasing to God, we will come upon Scripture that will correct us if we are listening to what God says in His written Word in the Bible. The Bible will correct us morally, spiritually, and doctrinally. But for the Bible to do that, we must read it for ourselves. For us to be corrected doctrinally, we must be open to correction. We must be open to new insights that we receive as we read and study the Bible. By personal experience I know that the Bible is a self-correcting Book. I have had to change my mind about things I thought were true after I studied more about it in the Bible. For example, today I was studying John 1:18. There the Bible tells us that no man hath seen God at any time. Yet I knew that Jacob said he had directly seen God in Genesis 32:30. I did more study on Genesis 32:30 this morning and its immediate context, adding more cross references as I found them for that passage. I believe I may have found the resolution to what seems on the surface to be a direct contradiction. There are instances in the Old Testament where God appeared to men but not in His full glory. There are other instances where God allowed just a brief glimpse of His glory. I once thought that whenever God was said to have been seen in the Old Testament that this was an instance of a pre-incarnate appearance of our Lord Jesus Christ. And some of the OT accounts can be proven to be just that. But other instances might well be different. They are likely an appearance of God the Father. In any case, the subject makes for an interesting study, and I have now placed much fuller cross references at Genesis 32:30 that lead to all the evidence I found. Now, if we should happen to be seriously mistaken about a Bible doctrine, further reading in the Bible will bring us to statements in the Bible which do not and cannot fit our mistaken view. If we are true to the Bible, we will heed its correction. If our church or denominational tradition or understanding of the Bible is more important to us than the truth expressed in God’s Word, we may be tempted to ignore the admonition or correction we found in our study, and instead go on without changing a thing. That is not a good thing to do! See the warnings in Proverbs 29:1 and Isaiah 8:20 about that.<\/p>\n
