Re: What Is Truth?
Minoru Chen: “everything needs to be tested according to the truth”. Not true. The bible just says to "test" and search the scriptures and does not add "according to the truth". Why? In testing, Truth is yet to be determined. In Chen's world the test is to search within the predetermined scope of the LSM confines, as you have noted in your post. The following verses tell us to "test" and "search" wherever that may lead.
1 Thessalonians 5:21 Test all things; hold fast that which is good.
Acts 17:11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
In addition, the Bible commands to test, that is, ask questions. Asking questions in the Local Church world has always been forbidden...right?
I believe Chen's quote is only more circular LC double-speak.
My humble opinion,
Nell
