“Bible Scholars Disagree” Argument

            There has been a discussion on one of the groups of which I am a member about those who are departing from “the faith.” 1 Timothy 4:1. Some doctrinal issues have been discussed such as the 70 AD doctrine, divorce, premillennialism, and some others. One point was made about “Bible Scholars Disagree.” Their point was,
