The theologians had taught the students long enough, they had wrote thesis, papers, books to promote Verbal Plenary Preservations, and then at last, the most serious mistake they made is not that verbal plenary preservation, but the divisions caused by the verbal plenary preservation!
Divisions is a bad fruit from the bad tree of Verbal Plenary Preservation! And the bad roots are the carnal Christians!
They had avoided open debates, they had silent inward debates, this is not good for the scholars themselves! Errors may had been avoided if there were open and inward debates and if there was grace given to the opposition parties, if there is orders given in finding the truth, if there was given space for brotherhood, if there is peace from above, if there is wisdom from heaven! BP churches will not be the same any more!
Even those 5000 Bible manuscripts have many different wordings. How can we avoided debates in finding the actual words! Grace must be given in the study!
Paul did not want us to promote divisions among a church. Make this a truth in the theology! Paul did write to us, that a church has many problems! Make this another truth in the theology!
What happened after the divisions, the theologians went out to promote some other things, like filial piety, faith, grace, peace, but all these must come in the first place, before the divisions, they had overlooked these essential elements in Christianity, Paul wanted the Corinthians to deal seriously with those divisions in the churches! He wrote in the beginning of the first Epistle to the Corinthians! Who is Paul? Who is Apollos?
I wanted to ask them, who are these theologians! What is divisions have to do with BP churches in 21 the century?
This is the foremost question the theologians have to answer themselves to God!
May the Lord grant us another day in pursuing the truth behind Verbal Plenary Preservation. May God bless the theologians with peace and grace even mercy from God the almighty. Amen.
