Awaken Bible Prophecy Update 6-7-23: A Catechism, of Sorts, on Faith
As you can imagine, this isn’t an official catechism by any means, but it does more or less fit the description as put forth in Wikipedia:
A catechism, from Ancient Greek meaning "to teach orally", is a summary or exposition of doctrine and serves as a learning introduction to . . . Christian religious teaching. Catechisms are doctrinal manuals – often in the form of questions followed by answers to be memorized – a format that has been used in non-religious or secular contexts as well.
With my version, it’s certainly not a doctrinal manual, nor do you have to memorize it. I’m really calling it by this name because of the Q&A dialog I’m using, for better or for worse. We could also describe it as a primer for how to dig into Scripture, which, when we do so, can yield surprising results. You’ve seen some of that in my prior offerings whereby I discuss whether Once Saved, Always Saved is a valid position and if indeed the equation Salvation = Rapture holds true. We won’t discuss these two issues directly today, but with their two ideals in mind, we’ll see how they hold up in this Q&A catechism-like format.
As I’ve stated a number of times, one of my objectives is to get folks to think, and not to just believe in a particular position because your pastor said it. The questions we should all ask are: What does Scripture say? What are the implications when we look at all sides of certain passages? How might this affect what we’ve been led to believe simply because someone else said it and declared it true?
Just a word: In no way do I challenge salvation doctrine. I hold an absolutely Biblical position with that as put forth in the Assemblies of God 16 Fundamental Truths. What we’re examining today are certainly related, but with effectively peripheral issues like the ones stated a moment ago, there is room within traditional Christianity for different interpretations of Scripture. I’m going to show you today how someone can come to an interpretation that may differ from yours. If you’re up for the challenge, hang on.
