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 |

Ischus If I even remotely believed as you do I would throw the Bible in the trash and live a life of survival (strongest quickest survives everything else is food). Your talking like a member of the heretics that took part in the Jesus project. If we as humans try to decide what part of the Bible is not inspired, not PC, objectionable because a loving God wouldn't do that or say that, science doesn't support it, there is no external evidence, it floods our senses, it seems to contradict itself, it seems to be added we end up with one verse John 11:35 Jesus wept. Enough of this crazy talk EdB |

EdB, Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that we can't agree on this; I have already asked to move on and make peace here, but if you want to bring up a new subject of inspiration of the bible, then I will gladly discuss it. I think that you are taking this stuff way too personal, man. You gotta chill a little and not get so worked up about this. I am not asking you to change... why are you so upset about this? IF you want to know exactly what I believe, here it is: I believe that the bible is the word of God. I do not believe in verb./plen inspiration. I do believe in the humanity and divinity of Jesus. I do not believe in the inerrancy of the bible. I do believe in approaching the bible honestly, I do not believe in the Jesus project or demythologizing of the text. I do not believe that I have anything close to a heretical view. I do believe that the original autographs of the bible were verb./plen./inerr/ inspired. I am not asking you to agree with me. I just don't want to give you any more surprises and be labeled as a heretic. If you ever happen to have the desire to investigate instead of discard my views, I would be happy to give you some additional information. However, since you don't really seem to find any logical conclusions in my beliefs, it might not be worth the effort. Take care, brother- ischus |

ischus I have chilled and I’m chill’n even as I write once again excuse my curtness. I did investigate them about 20 years ago in a study I did on race/ethnicity in relation to a some notes in a study Bible. The conclusion I reached at the time is the same one I expressed to you. Ezra is not a race/ethnicity issue however it is a religious issue. The stance taken in Ezra was decidedly in agreement with prohibitions issued from God. While I can not speak with authority on the methods of correction taken in light of those prohibitions they seem to have been accepted by as we see not exception by God recorded. Yes I agree we need to let this subject die. Be blessed my brother and be a blessing EdB |

Sounds good. Everything is good on my side, I ask for your forgiveness again for any harshness. Thanks for ending this with me. I appreciate your willingness to put this down- some are not so quick to do this, as I am sure you have witnessed. Anyway, its great to be yout friend, and I am sure that we will agree more often than not. We just got off to a bad start from what I can tell. God Bless. :) ischus |
