today i heard a really, REALLY good answer to tricky theological conundrums. In this case it was about how he would handle the topic of tongues in a scripture setting.
His response?
Some issues are open handed and some are close fisted.
Some things are non-negotiable. That a personal God exists. The deity of Jesus and His resurrection. Salvation by grace not works. THE BIG ISSUES.
Other issues are open handed. They are not so clear. They are determined upon interpretation. Tongues would fit into this category.
As a rule in scripture classes, stick to the topics that unify and are affirmed by the majority of mainstream Christianity.
