Why use bible quotes?

Question

Why do people answer questions with quotes from the Bible? God gave you an opinion and a voice, don't you think he wants you to use it?

Answer 1

because we can...God also gave us free will and that means we can choose to use His Word directly or give our own opinion....so we sometimes use His Word...no biggy

Answer 2

Sometimes a Bible quote is the only way that the question can be answered. If a person disputes a question about some theological question in the Bible then a quote proving the point is, logically, the only way to go.
If the person asks a question about why, or how, or what we think about Christianity then it's logical to give your opinion as an answer. Sometimes your opinion can and should be backed up with a quote from the Bible.

Answer 3

Many consider the Bible the direct voice of GOD, so when answering a question of someones - they are actually using the words of GOD providing more power than a human voice - to them.

Answer 4

truthfully, in case you're taking a very close inspect the difficulty, i think of you will discover that what we call "the Bible" steadily got here mutually over a very long volume of time. Stuff is in the Bible that very probably had a non-verbal beginning going lower back previous to one thousand BC. of direction it replaced slightly whilst it have been given written down, yet countless the myths in Genesis and Exodus is extremely probably in accordance with oral traditions going lower back that far. And the neat thoughts approximately Saul and his son Jonathon and friendship between Jonathon and David probable bypass lower back virtually that far. persons who've looked into it look in 2 communities, the two giving the myths no foundation in any respect, or giving them a somewhat significant place. The stuff that's getting quoted ("you won't be in a position to proceed to exist bread purely.") comes from this early cloth; the persons quoting it are of a lots later era, such as first century advert. keep in mind that via the 1st century advert, the Hebrew Bible is especially lots in its very final style, and for the persons of Jesus' time, this early stuff exchange into their Bible. that is what they discovered in schul (or its first-century equivalent), and that is what ruled their existence and drove the moral element of their subculture. So that is organic that they quoted it. although, when I observed your question, I on the instant theory-approximately the different quoting that is going on. in case you inspect the Psalms, you often times detect a Psalm quoted virtually verbatim in yet another e book, and no credit being given, of direction. That Samuel, Kings and Chronicles has foundation in shared cloth is obvious by using fact at circumstances the texts are precisely an identical. in the commencing up that's what i presumed you have been speaking approximately. although, the two questions are very interesting, demonstrating how complicated the origins of the Hebrew Bible are, and the respect wherein the 1st-century persons held the Hebrew Scriptures.

Answer 5

Here's to you, too, munkees8,

2Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; CORRECT, REBUKE and ENCOURAGE—with great patience and careful instruction.
3For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
4They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. (2Timothy 4:2-4 NIV)

You see? Everything we want to do in this life - the Bible has a guide! Even your question has an answer from the Bible.
And that is actually the problem - people only wants to hear what their itching ears wants to hear.

God bless you, munkees8.

Answer 6

Because using bible quotes is how Jesus answered when He was alive and this is how he voiced his opinioned! And so this is how we are voicing our opinion! And this is how we choose to want to do so and how we know that God wants us to do so. Not how the world wants us to do so.

Answer 7

Why? Because when it comes to critical issues, all that counts is not necessarily our thoughts or opinions, but what God says in His Word. A true believer lives his or her life according to Scripture. If we're talking about a simple issue, sure your opinion might be helpful. But with crucial issues, especially eternal ones, you need to know what the bible says. A true believer understands this.

Answer 8

Yes, God wants me to use my voice-

Isa 58:1 ¶ Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.



2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.

Answer 9

Because the bible is the inspired word of God. When people ask about God, Jesus, salvation, that is my source. His word tells me to have for every man an answer for the hope that is within me. It also says that the word of God is eternal, is powerful, transforming, and never returns void. So to answer your question, no...when I speak of Jesus Christ, I will refer to the source...the word of God....and not my own "opinions".

Answer 10

My opinion is that the Bible holds truth. My voice expresses that.

By your logic, no one should quote the constitution, or laws. Everyone should be able to make and follow his/her guidelines.

Answer 11

to prove what its true.

any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
