Solid Rock

Solid Rock is a Bible-based blog. It encourages a earnest seeking of God's presence and a passionate study of His Word, the Bible.

God CANNOT be known apart from revelation neither can His will be known apart from revelation. This means that all we know about God has to be something that has been revealed in Scripture. Because of this, the discipline we shall apply in the search for answers is called "a posteriori" reasoning.

In contrast to the "a priori" method of reasoning when it comes to learning God or Scripture, we do not approach Scripture with pre-conceived notions or ideas about God nor do we lose the beauty of His revelation by presuppostions or pre-empting His message with our opinions, no matter how well-intentioned they are.

A correct concept of life emanates from a correct concept of God. Those who miss out worship a God who has attributes that are "created" by their opinions of how God should be instead of who He really is. They miss out because they approach Scripture with colored lens that filter out so much of the TRUE colors of the Wonderful God Whom we worship and Who is finally revealed through Jesus Christ.

Through this blog site, we wish to lay down solid doctrinal and interpretive foundations for a meaningful, personal and independent study of God's Word, the Bible. With the help of God, we will try to simplify what seminaries teach and give each one of us the confidence to discuss the great truths of Scripture and the boldness to share these with others.

By the way, in all our discussions, any comments you wish to contribute are appreciated. Note that you don't need to contribute answers, you can also contribute questions. However, it would be best to limit your questions to the topics I presented. If you wish to suggest other topics to discuss, you can email me at rsarcos@yahoo.com and we will try to line it up for future discussion. If you believe, your suggested topic has some urgency, go ahead and mention that in your email.
