A bishop of a century ago pronounced from his pulpit and in the periodical he edited that heavier-than-air flight was both impossible and contrary to the will of God. Oh, the irony that Bishop Wright had two sons, Orville and Wilbur! Wright was wrong. Sure of himself, but wrong.
– Robert P. Dugan, Jr., Winning the New Civil War, p. 38.
How can people say they know the will of God without a revelation from God? The Bible doesn’t say anything about airplanes, submarines, or hula hoops. Why do religious people just make it up and pass it on as truth? Everyone seems to be susceptible and evangelicals are not exempt. Make sure your statements are based on Scripture.
For this is the will of God, that by doing good you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish people.
If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.
Give it some thought.
