I do not want to take this thread off subject--so to speak. But I do want to make sure I have a proper understanding regarding the historical, doctrinal, and spiritual view. Several have referred to the issue of historical, doctrinal, and spiritual application on various threads. I have read the comments of other well learned brethren, and I'm not sure I really have a grip on some of their teaching. So, once again, I'll ask for your "elderly" counsel.
To me, the
historical and
spiritual application is self-explanatory. It's the teaching on the
doctrinal aspect that I may not have a thorough understand of. So I'll ask for some clarification.
Is
all doctrine in the Holy Scriptures, although it is not specifically "aimed" at us,
profitable for us?
When we read that "all scripture is profitable for doctrine" is that
limited to only those doctrines in scripture that are aimed at us?
Personally, Brother George, it would be very difficult for me to say, "Since a particular
doctrine is not aimed at me,
it is not profitable to me for doctrine."
It's probably a lot simpler than I'm making it, but it seems important to me. In your understanding, what does the historical, doctrinal, and spiritual view mean?
But not altogether.
