ischus Either the Bible is the inspired word of God or it is not. I believe it is the inspired word. I also God commissioned men like Ezra and Nehemiah to accurately record what He inspired. Ezra and Nehemiah are telling the men of Israel they violated God's law and married pagans. Exodus 34:15-16 lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they play the harlot with their gods and make sacrifice to their gods, and one of them invites you and you eat of his sacrifice, [16] and you take of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters play the harlot with their gods and make your sons play the harlot with their gods. Marriage is covenant and you see in this passage God strictly forbids any covenant. Giving the reason that once they do they will start messing with pagan gods. It is not real hard to see. I gave you a lot of examples of what happened when the children of Israel disobeyed. I also gave you more passages where God forbids ANY covenant between Jew and Pagan. The evidence is overwhelming and way to conclusive for you to try to explain it away. If you want to believe differently fine but don’t insult our intelligence or the word of God by trying to convince us you right. EdB |

By the way, are you sure that Ezra even wrote this text while under inspiration, or is this a record of his journal written by another person? ischus |

I guess we could second guess every book that way. I think after we got done tearing out the ones we weren't sure of we would be holding a pretty thin Bible. No unless the scriptures directly contributes the saying to an unrighteous person I think we have to accept God intended for it to be there. Many places Paul said I think or this is my opinion and many people want to disregard those passages but I believe, if God had them recorded He wanted them in there. If not then I would have to believe God didn't control everything that went into the Bible. If I believed that then I would have to believe God isn't in total control and thus isn't totally sovereign. Let it be not so! EdB |

I truly believe that the bible is God's work, but are you going to deny the fact that many additions, changes, and curruptions have been involved over the thousands of years of translation? In the current bible we have, there are hundreds of variant texts on hundreds of verses, and several entire sections that are either misplaced, mistranslated, or completely false and not a part of the original MSS. God has his part in the bible...so does man. Let's be honest here. I am not suggesting anything other than what I said here- don't read into it. The bible is God's word. God is sovereign. ischus |

Greetings Ischus! I think that you are overstating the impact of the variant readings my friend. Most variant readings have to do with word order or spelling. None of them impact any major doctrine at all. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
