Why is it just as important to know what the Bible does not say?
Knowing what the Bible does not say matters because people often hold misconceptions, assuming something is scriptural when it is not even in the text. Recognizing omissions guards against error, corrects false assumptions, and helps readers see what Scripture actually teaches rather than relying on human authority or glossing over the text.
Les teaches that his purpose is not to have people follow what he says but to learn what the Bible says. He stresses that it is just as important to know what the Bible does not say, because many have a misconception of what it says, and the idea is not even in there. The goal is to point out what Scripture really says, since people often gloss over it in their reading and miss what it actually says.
