1 | Can we say that all of the scriptures | 2 Tim 3:16 | Hank | 43256 | ||
In the final scheme of things, man is not the judge and jury of Scripture; what he says about it carries little weight in the world at large, but what he thinks about it can lead either to salvation in heaven or condemnation in hell. It's what God says about Scripture that really counts. He says that all Scripture is God-breathed and profitable. We can believe it or not. If we refuse to believe parts of the Bible, we may as well refuse to believe any of it. Why? Because the Bible says ALL Scripture is inspired by God and is profitable. When any "wiser-than-God" finite, flawed and sinful human being refuses to believe all the Bible, but only the parts he likes or agrees with, he is in effect saying that 2 Timothy 3:16 is wrong and thus calling God a liar. That's how it is. God does not give us a middle ground; He does not negotiate; He does not compromise His truth. Jesus said it best: "He who is not with Me is against Me." (Matt. 12:30) --Hank | ||||||

Raven and Hank, thanks for your Biblical response, I too believe it from cover to cover. Makes no difference what man may think, It is UNAMINOUS, God through His inspired writers WROTE HIS MIND AND WILL. Thank God for the Unadulterated Word. | ||||||

Remember though that Paul was refering to the Old Testament when he wrote to Timothy. The New Testament as we know it did not yet exist. However I believe that it can also be applied to the New Testament. We must be ever thankful that Paul was in chains and not able to travel to the churches he wrote to, otherwise he would have taught face to face and much of what he said may not have been written down. In our culture of books and audio visual recordings, especially the immediacy of information at our fingertips via the Internet, we have never trained our minds to retain things as people did in Jesus' time. Almost everything then was passed on by word of mouth, without error, from the Apostles to the churches. The church grew and existed for sometime without the bible that we know today but that bible that we hold so dear does not contain a fraction of the things those churches heard and were taught. John 21:25 "Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written." |
