Comparing TVOS and PVOS
From the Mecca of Salt Lake City, Utah, this is Heart of the Matter, where we are working together to . . . And I’m your host Shawn McCraney. Tonight is our short show – tomorrow is our long show. Show 12s Comparing the TVOS and the PVOS. Taped Sunday December 20th 2020. Aired Monday December 21st 2020.
I want to talk tonight about the TVOS (Traditional View of Scripture) verses the PVOS (the Proper View of Scripture) tonight. Ready? There are TWELVE COMPARISONS.
Traditional View vs. Proper View
The TRADITIONAL VIEW of SCRIPTURE says that it was . . . THE PROPER VIEW OF SCRIPTURE says that it was . . . Written to us today. (expand) Written to those believers in that age with some application to us today. Applicable literally to each of us now. Applicable to us now in principle and themes. (expand) Is a manual on how to do Christianity objectively. Is a spiritual map full of spiritual principles on how to know God and walk the Christian walk subjectively. Is full of rules. Is full of wisdom and insights. Tells people how things must be. Tells people how things were and will be in the lives of those who walk by faith. Faith is Objective – there is a way! Do it! Faith is Subjective. Believers are entitled to hate, look down on or despise others based on its contents. Believers are commanded to love all people with agape love at all times in His name (in fact, I would suggest that if there is any doctrine on earth that does not move you to expressing agape love it is a false doctrine/interpretation and ought to be removed from your mind).
Key Differences
IT offers regiments that confines its reader. Liberates the reader through truth and agape love. Divides believers one from another through denominationalism. Unites all believers of Christ in love. Quenches the Spirit. Invites and does not hinder the Spirit. Reveals a anachronistic eschatology. Supports a reasonable and fulfilled eschatology. Takes ten passages out of thousands and concocts the “man-made, must be taught” doctrine of the Trinity. Proves that there is one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ.
The Word of God is living, and when read by the Spirit works with each individual on what God wants to do in their lives. Men have made the Word of God dead by interpreting it as a set of rules and religious mandates.
