Wayne Grudem – J’apprécie son attitude – Appreciate his attitude.

J’apprécie beaucoup les réflexions de Wayne Grudem dont en voici un exemple ci-bas. J’aime aussi beaucoup sont livre de théologie systématique.  Je ne suis pas d’accord sur tout ses points de vue doctrinaux, mais j’apprécie énormément qu’à la fin de ses chapitres il ajoute une section qui explique où nous pouvons trouver les doctrines similaire mais selon d’autre positions et auteurs.  Excellent!

I appreciate the thinking of Wayne Grudem that we have as example below.  I also like very much is systematic theology book.  I am not in agreement with all his doctrinal positions, but I appreciate very much the fact that he add, at the end of every chapter, a section that explain where to find other doctrinal position and other, on the subject of that chapter.  Excellent!

The clarity of Scripture

The following excerpt is from Wayne Grudem’s Christian Beliefs: Twenty Basics Every Christian Should Know: “As we read Scripture and seek to understand it, we discover that some passages are easier to understand than others. Although some passages may at first seem difficult to grasp, the Bible is written in such a way that all things necessary to become a Christian, live as a Christian, and grow as a Christian are clear.  “There are some mysteries in Scripture, but they should not overwhelm us in our reading. For ‘the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple’ (Ps. 19:7). And ‘the unfolding’ of God’s ‘words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple’ (Ps. 119:130). God’s Word is so understandable and clear that even the simple (people who lack sound judgment) can be made wise by it.  “When individuals disagree on the proper interpretation of a passage of Scripture, the problem does not lie with the Scriptures, for God guided its composition so that it could be understood. Rather, the problem lies with us. Sometimes, as a result of our shortcomings, we fail to properly understand what the Bible is specifically teaching. Even so, we should prayerfully read the Bible, asking the Lord to reveal the truth of his words to us.”
