1 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | Hank | 141910 | ||
Years ago I came to the conclusion that any effort to separate the Scriptures into essential parts and non-essential parts is futile, fatuous and inane. It's as pointless as trying to assign different values to links in a chain. God inspired all Scripture (2 Timothy 3:16), and the product of His inspiration is a divinely woven fabric, complete and perfect, that does not lend itself well at all to the severely limited and bumbling efforts of human beings to make a "qualitative analysis" of the relative importance of various passages of Scripture. Better by far to read and study all of God's word as it is written and forget about what's important and what's not: All of it is important God inspired it all and therefore all of it is important. Since all of it is the word of God, all of it is likewise essential. Who are we to suggest otherwise or assign degrees of importance to God's holy book? Black, red, green or blue, it's the words that count, not their hue! --Hank | ||||||
2 | Christ Jesus testimony / Red writing | Rev 1:1 | kalos | 141929 | ||
Hank: Isn't it amazing? On this Study BIBLE Forum, all one has to do is point out that "All Scripture is inspired by God", and the next thing you know, the forum is bombarded by posts rebuking, reproving and correcting the one who made this point. I give up! I really do! Moreover, here is another instance where the Scriptures in the original languages can allegedly be improved upon. According to the logic of some, the ancient texts are incomplete and flawed not only because they fail to capitalize pronouns, but also because they did not place the words of Christ in red. I have nothing against red letter Bibles. In fact, I personally prefer a red letter Bible. But does anyone ever consider this: that in the Hebrew and Greek texts we cannot always be certain where a quotation ends (since these texts do not contain quotation marks)? Therefore, the risk of error increases when one decides which words to print in red and which to print in black. Grace to you, Kalos |
