So now you've softened your position to one of "In order to understand Scripture, it's necessary to read all of it." I think that, by and large, there's little objection to that idea.

In order to understand... the whole of The Bible, it must first be studied line upon line, precept upon precept.

And some look at the Isaiah 28:9-22 Scripture and wrongly think it means NOT to study God's Word "precept upon precept..." when God is using 'their' own mocking words against them when saying that. In the Hebrew their mocking of "precept upon precept..." sounds like a rhythmic song.

In Isaiah 28:24-28, God then uses some agriculture comparisons on how to teach His Word.

Line upon line and precept upon precept is not given as a method of studying the Bible.

It is given as a child's method of learning.

You speak as though you 'understand' the whole of the Bible. Yet you can't answer questions when asked you about your understanding of the Bible.

When you can't answer the questions, it means you can't support your position. And that means your position has no credibility.

In other words, you can ignore my questions to you. But you can't change the impact that your ignoring my questions has upon your position.

It has been my experience, that when one does the study, has gone through the many commentaries and articles on the subject, he can answer all questions concerning his conclusions. But, when one hasn't done the study himself, and only relies on internet knowledge or what others have told him, then when he is asked the questions, he can't answer.

Of course you can prove me wrong by answering my many questions you so far have not answered in your several posts.

My opinion.

I'm not against Bible topic teaching, don't get me wrong. But a line upon line teaching is the method of the most coverage of God's Word.

Isa 28:13-14
13 But the word of the LORD was
unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
KJV

I did not say Bible topic teaching. I said that you can go line by line, but still use other parts of the bible to explain what is happening in those line by lines. The Bible is all connected.

Yes, that's definitely true. And The Companion Bible, a KJV study Bible that the scholar E.W. Bullinger put together in the 19th century, is still the best study Bible available, in my opinion. Bullinger included Scripture references in the margin that links the subject in other Books and chapters. His notes are scholar notes, and not simply opinion commentary like most study Bibles. Just all the info in the Appendixes alone is enough reason to have a copy.

You have a right to your opinion, but the Lutheran Study Bible is more accurate, in my opinion.
