Hello Edwin, I'm following along and don't intend to support either side of the argument with my post, but, I have to address some of your remarks. Primarily because I am getting the impression that you are coming close to rejecting what is written in Scripture. I will give an example from the post I am responding to. You wrote: "If as you say the Greek NT, is inspired by the Holy Soirit, then please explain the following At Matthew 26:64 Jesus's words are given as "You have said so", at Mark 14:64, as "I AM", and at Luke 22:70, as "You say that I am". Has the Holy Spirt made a mistake, or is it human error ?." Your questions stops short implying that the answer is one or the other; that is, human error or the Holy Spirit making a mistake. Now I know enough about you from the forum to know that you don't believe the Holy Spirit makes mistakes. So the only obvious conclusion is that you are requiring Mark to agree that there are mistakes and/or contradictions between the gospel records, or not answer the question. This is the tactic observed by secular writers and speakers who attempt to discredit Christianity. Instead allow me to offer a simple illustration to put this type of argument completely to rest. Three children ask their mother for permission to go to the park. She gives them permission. Once they arrive they go in different directions and play with different groups of friends. Each of them is asked if they had permission from their mother. One answers "yes, she said I could go." the other responds, "She said it was ok", and finally the third says "she said sure as long as we're back by lunch time". None of them gave the exact response to the question, so, which one of them made a mistake? Is it your position that the Holy Spirit did not inspire the Greek NT??? Jeff |

Hi Jeff. Below is an extract from one of yours. "You wrote: "If as you say the Greek NT, is inspired by the Holy Soirit, then please explain the following At Matthew 26:64 Jesus's words are given as "You have said so", at Mark 14:64, as "I AM", and at Luke 22:70, as "You say that I am". Has the Holy Spirt made a mistake, or is it human error ?." Your questions stops short implying that the answer is one or the other; that is, human error or the Holy Spirit making a mistake. Now I know enough about you from the forum to know that you don't believe the Holy Spirit makes mistakes. So the only obvious conclusion is that you are requiring Mark to agree that there are mistakes and/or contradictions between the gospel records, or not answer the question. This is the tactic observed by secular writers and speakers who attempt to discredit Christianity." In reply let me advise you that sometimes my motive in submitting posts is not so much to express a point of view, or explain a doctrine, as to provoke a discussion. I have no problem with the three extracts above, Matthew , Mark, and Luke are all saying the same thing, in that Jesus is saying that He is indeed the Messiah. He could have said "I AM", as Mark indicates, but then we would have missed the real meaning of His response which the other Gospel writers reveal. In other words, what He is telling them is "You know very well who I am, you know that I am the Christ, I know exactly what you have said in private behind closed doors, which is why my reply was spoken in the past tense, "It is as you have said". That's all for now, more later. Bless you brother Jeff. Edwin. |
