Sola Scriptura Interpres!

Scripture never contradicts itself.

I continually learn this in my own experience: when I begin to meditate on the meaning of a particular passage, it reminds me of another passage; as I put the two together, another passage springs to mind. All the truths of Scripture weave together in a consistent, coherent whole.

Case in point, the post I just wrote on forgiveness in the Lord's Prayer was supposed to be short. But as I wrote I was reminded me of verses which led me to a deeper understanding, which then brought up a different passage which led to still deeper understanding, which led to more verses....

In the Bible,  with the illumination of the Holy Spirit, God truly has given us everything we need for life and godliness.
