What's neat is that I had never heard them speak about these things before. I don't read commentaries, so I know that we had not come to the same conclusions by reading the same commentaries.
I spoke to both of them separately about this and one of them said to me with a smile, "You would think we were reading the same Bible!" That brother's statement says it all. The Bible is understandable.
This is not the first time that this has happened with a brother, and I doubt it will be the last, but it is enjoyable every time. We can come to the Bible, read it, understand it, and obey it.
Christians coming to the same conclusions, independently, on what the Bible says, has happened throughout history, despite being separated by time, space, culture, language and even translations of the Bible into different languages.
This is very encouraging to me. It really helps me to see that the Bible can be taken at it's word. It really does mean what it says. I don't need someone to interpret it for me. If we simply accept what the scriptures say, with a childlike faith and obedience, then we can be unified in Christ. We can all be of one mind and of one Spirit and of one faith.
