Just out of curiosity, have you ever examined the arguments against the higher criticism and textual criticism that you are supporting on this forum? By that I mean works such as Josh McDowell's _More Evidence that Demands a Verdict_. If so, what do you think of it? The main concern I have with your position is that the scholarship you are referring to exists for the sole purpose of pointing out that the Bible is a product of human hands alone, that they are NOT the words of God. If the Bible has been written and re-written (and by that I assume that you also mean "edited" by human beings over and over again), how can you say that they are indeed the words of God? --Joe! |

The bible has been written and rewritten we see that today with the differen versions, KJV is my pick because I feel it is the most accurate. As I said prior the bible is the word of God and is God breathed. the scripture has proven to be accurate in my life and if there are any errors in scripture they are so very minute that it dosen't matter. I don't know where you live but I live on the East Coast and am about to go to bed. If you have anymore questions or responses please post them but I will answer them on tomorrow evening. I have not read Josh McDowell. I have studied Gottwald. | ||||||

The KJV is not a REWRITE of the Bible, but rather a translation of the Bible from manuscripts in the original languages. The most accurate versions would be in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Koine Greek, not in English or any other modern language. I would recommend the McDowell book, because it is always helpful to look at scholarly work that presents the opposite view of the one which one holds. I know that you said that the Bible is the word of God, but then you say that specific books of the Bible are edits and re-edits and compilations and the efforts of men who lived centuries apart. This is why all of the JEDP "scholars" say that the Bible is NOT the word of God. You claim that Scripture has been proven to be accurate "in your life." Does that mean that if the Qu'ran proved to be accurate in your life (as Muslims claim that it is accurate in theirs), that it would suddenly be the word of God? Either the Bible is what it claims to be or it is not the word of God. Those two points of view are not able to be logically reconciled. --Joe! |

i appreciate your advice and will look into some of Josh McDowells books. I have and will never say that the bible is not the word of God. Since manuscripts have been written and rewrriten the contents are accurate or close to accurate as possible. The Quran denies the deity of Jesus Christ that alone is enough for me. Any teaching that denies Jesus Christ as the son of God is inaccurate in itself. I do not following behind every whim and doctrine. Using Islam and/or the Quran was a poor choice. Mohammad first practice judaism and got mad with the jews and started his own religion. God gives all of us that are in Christ Jesus wisdom and discernment if we ask. | ||||||
