1 | Reliability of the Bible? | 1 Cor 15:3 | LuckyCharm | 40872 | ||
Regarding Bible tampering: Someone elsewhere has put the following question to me: "The entire book of Joshua, for example, is written to justify Judah's claim to the northern territories during the political vacuum created by the collapse of Assyria. The archaeological record indicates that the various cities of Canaan did not fall at the same times, nor all at Hebrew hands. The entire book of Daniel is also false from start to finish. For a New Testament example, Paul in I Cor. says that Peter was the first to see the risen Jesus, denying that there was any such scene as women at the empty tomb: this is to undercut the Magdalenic faction among early Christians." Does anyone have any information on these objections, or suggestions for further research? Thank you, Cheryl |

2 | Reliability of the Bible? | 1 Cor 15:3 | Jensen | 40873 | ||
Dear Cheryl....The Verse you refer to is 1 Cor 15:3"For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve." But the verse does not suggest that Peter was the first to see Him risen. Or that the second to see Him were the apostles. (What about the two He met on the road before appearing to the apostles.) It is really very simple. As to the other charges your questioner put to you,....well what exactly is the question. It is easy to condemn an entire book or two of the Bible. Especially if you do not present any evidence. The only scripture mentioned has been shown to support other scripture where there was a "women at the empty tomb". Do not listen to these self-proclaimed debunkers. Examine what they say. God Bless....Jensen |

Thanks, Jensen! Sometimes they come at me so hard and heavy, I'm almost tempted to give up before I start... You're right, of course, and I should have recognized the simple point you bring up myself... Thanks for being an encourager! God bless, Cheryl |
