Subject: How is the Bible the Word of God? |
Bible Note: Hank, Just so you know, I interperted your last post as somewhat sarcastic. I apologize if this is not so, but on the assumption that it was, let me say that I will take complete blame for how old I am. I know this is not your fault- it is totally mine. Howver, I have read the same bible as you have. I am old enough to read and write and think. I know that I am just a little kid to you, but I think that there were some who saw Timothy in this way as well. Now to the point: Theo- "God" pneustos- "spirit, breathe" I find it interesting that you have arrived at the exact definition of this word. Could you please explain it to me? I surely don't know what it means, and I think that if someone says that they do, they are kidding themself... but I am curious as to your definition. By the way, I have never denied the inspiration of the bible or God's part in it at any time on any post in this forum on purpose. If I have given that impression, I recant. What I am saying is that I do not go along with a verbal, plenary view of inspiration, and I don't see how we can use 2 Tim to support it. Let me just say that My instructors have taught me that the bible is the verbal, plenary, inerrant, inspired word of God. I know the full argument entirely. There is no need to present it to me. ischus |
