1 | can we be sure the Bible is valid? | 2 Tim 3:16 | joehelt | 148835 | ||
Hello all, I was wondering how and why the church at large has decided to use this scripture to apply to the whole of the Bible. And a larger question then arises, how can we be sure that the Bible we hold today is truly God's inspired word. I'm asking as a Christian man struggling with the validity of the book I have come to hold so dear. Thanks so much, -joe |

Joe, The Christian faith is not a "religion of the book. Christianity is the religion of the "Word" of God, "not a written or mute word, but incarnate and living." The Holy Spirit working in and through the Body of Christ, the Church, inspired the writers of Sacred Scripture and led the Church to recognize what was inspired and what was not. The Church and Scripture are intricatley bond up in and to one another. The Church, the People of God, Old Testanment and New, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit brought forth the Sacred Scripture and recognizes her own. Emmaus |
