1 | Is New Testament Inspired by God | Bible general Archive 4 | confused??? | 221818 | ||
Thank you Azure. I will check out the references you listed. I am not sure what you mean on number 3 though. Are you saying that God has "determined" what you would believe? Or simply that whether or not you believe it, it is the truth? Actually, either way it appears you have still come about to some sort of peace that these books are from God and the other "candidates" like the Gospel of Thomas or the Revelation of Peter or many others should not be included as being from God. Some people have never really questioned that and just accept it. Sometimes I wish I worked like that, but I question virtually everything. So I am looking to hear how you and others have come to the conclusion that the NT is "God breathed". Thank you, confused??? |

2 | Is New Testament Inspired by God | Not Specified | confused??? | 221785 | ||
Why is the New Testament considered inspired by God? I mean there were plenty of letters and books being used in various early churches. I understand the councils deciding which books to canonize and so forth, but isn't an awful lot of faith put on the fact that these guys made proper decisions? And most of these NT books were letters to churches. Was what Paul (and others) wrote actual truth inspired by God or merely his opinion. His opinion is still better than any preacher I have heard, but that doesn't mean it comes from God. Not saying it wasn't inspired, but just curious. I'd love to hear how you guys have settled this for yourselves. Thank you, confused??? |

4 | Is Isaiah 14 talking about Satan? | Gen 1:5 | confused??? | 219756 | ||
I can appreciate that you do not want to answer questions you feel already answered. Yes, I can read older posts on the subject. Which I have done. For that matter I can go get a book to read and not bother even asking the question on the forum. The point though is to get more opinions on the matter. The forum allows a discussion format so that the information can be directly related to my questions. I would much prefer a forum member to give me their take as to why it is believed that Isaiah 14 is referring to Satan. If anyone is willing to do so, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, confused??? |

5 | Is Isaiah 14 talking about Satan? | Gen 1:5 | confused??? | 219746 | ||
Hello, I know this is an old thread, but has anyone considered that Isaiah 14 isn't talking about Satan? Chapter 13 starts out saying that it is an oracle concerning Babylon and this continues on straight through chapter 14. In 14:4, the Lord speaks of how they will taunt the king of Babylon. Verse 10 still seems to be speaking of the king of Babylon as does verse 11. Why is it believed that verse 12 abruptly switches to talking about Satan and then somewhere before verse 22 switches back to Babylon again? confused??? |

In 1 Cor 11:10 Paul says that a woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head (or have her head covered) because of the angels. What does this have to do with angels? How do the angels fit in here? Confused??? |

9 | Do we have the whole Bible | Bible general Archive 4 | confused??? | 210142 | ||
Yes sir. Good to go on that. It is just that recently I have been discussing how we know each book of the Bible belongs and that there were none left out. As I look into this, it seems quite plausible that there are books in there that "may not" be inspired by God and that there also "may be" books not there that have been inspired by God. This is what I am looking for more information on. For example, Martin Luther didn't think Hebrews, Revelations, and James were not inspired. He did not think they belonged. And as I look further back, many of the books (Hebrews, Jude, and Revelations specifically) were very controversial as to whether or not they were the Word of God. Just looking for help on the matter.--confused??? | ||||||

I understand that it may not be a simple answer. But the website is the only direction you (or anyone else) has provided so far. Any other direction would be appreciated. Maybe a book or two or what I was really looking for was to glean from the knowledge of others on the forum. You said alot though in that first sentence. If I understand correctly then we base our theology and our way of life off verses and lessons that may not be "from God". I just always thought that if it was in the Bible then it was the Word of God and if it wasn't in there then it wasn't God's Word. But that may not be the case after all, is that correct? Also, how did our Lord draw the discussion to a satisfactory conclusion? That may help answer my question there. Thank you for your help.---confused??? | ||||||

OK, so I checked out that website. This doesn't really clarify it much though. I mean, from what I saw here many of the early church fathers couldn't agree on which books should be included and which ones shouldn't. Take Hebrews for example. That one was a controversial one and yet we ascribe alot of our doctrine from this book. I guess this is the confusing part...we quote Paul ans say that "all Scripture is inspired (God-breathed)" and yet we can't even be sure which is Scripture and which is not. Am I understanding this properly or am I just missing something?---confused??? | ||||||

How do we know that we have all the books we are supposed to have in our Bibles? Like the Apocrypha for example, why is this not included in our Bibles? Is this the Word of God as well?---confused??? | ||||||
