“Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit” Col 2:8
“Beware of speculation. Beware of the lusts of the mind. In other words we must learn to rest in faith and to realize that in this life we walk by faith not by sight. The older I get the more I am defining faith like this: Faith means that I am content with what I am told in the Bible and that I have ceased to desire to know what I’m not told in the Bible. And that ultimately leads to this: that I have stopped asking questions which I know are not answered in the Bible. God has chosen to reveal certain things to us. He has chosen equally not to reveal certain other things to us. And that I say, faith means this: that I am content with the revelation. I don’t want to know what is not revealed. I stop asking questions about things that are not revealed. So give up arguing about… the second coming. There are certain details which we do not know, we are not meant to know. Well therefore why speculate about them? If the Scripture tells me not to be concerned about the times and seasons, why should I be trying to work out a time table and an order of chronology from my morning newspaper? It’s unscriptural, it’s speculation.”~Martyn Lloyd Jones
