- Godly parents raised the author in the Southern Baptist tradition. At age
twenty-four he began to discover, to his surprise, that many of the things he
had been taught to believe were not in the Bible. Although he has long since
left the Baptists, and become just a Christian, he nevertheless continues to
appreciate his parents and early Sunday school teachers for instilling within
him a love for the truth and the conviction that, if it is taught in the
Bible, it is so. It was this deep-seated conviction that motivated him,
- like
the Berean Jews (Acts 17:11), to search the
scriptures.
- While
the U. S. Constitution guarantees each U. S. citizen the right to his own
religious faith and practice, the Bible guarantees no one such a right. There
were not, in the first century, a variety of religious bodies, hopes, faiths and
baptisms, from which one could pick and choose. These are not “from heaven” but
“of men” (see Matthew 21:23-27). Inspired men in the New Testament spoke and
wrote of “the doctrine of Christ” and “the truth,” rather than of denominational
“doctrines” and “truths.” “There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are
called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God
and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all” (Ephesians
4:4-6). The writer/editor makes no claim to inspiration or infallibility and is
willing to hear from any and all who disagree with the conclusions he has drawn.
