How do we use logic in reading scripture? A simplistic view might be that we should not rely on logic to understand scripture. Instead we should accept scripture at face value and submit to it. On a verse-by-verse basis, this is a feasible technique, however, when it comes to understanding the Bible as a whole we cannot simply read verses at face value. We must take context into account, and where two verses appear to contradict each other, we must use logic to reconcile them.

Hence we must use logic to aid in our understanding of scripture. However we must not make the mistake of assuming that our human logical deductions which are based on the infallible word of God are, themselves, infallible.

Went camping over the weekend with Joshua fellowship at Golden Ears park.  It was a lot of fun and quite relaxing.  We ate like kings (thanks to Grace and Dennis), and we explored the local terrain when we were tired of relaxing.  Went kayaking, swimming (sort of), played a bit of baseball (at least catching and throwing the ball), and slap Jack.  Oh well.. back to work now…

I led a bible study on Collossians this past sunday. I prepared a short introduction to the book, that can be seen here.
