Bible Note: stj, If you can't trust the Apostles who can you trust? When they misunderstood our Lord prior to receiving the Holy Spirit, they were not writing under inspiration. Do you believe the Bible is inspired by God and inerrant in it's original form? When we read the words of the Apostles we are reading the very words of God. That is what is referred to in Christiianity as, "The verbal inspiration of the Bible". So, if one holds that the Apostles could be in error in one area, how do we defend anything they wrote? I think it is very dangerous to go down that road. As far as John physically measuring the temple, it's interesting to me that he had many opportunities to refer back to the destruction of Jerusalem and this would be one of those times. Have you wondered why John, if writing in 95AD, never even hints at the destruction of Jerusalem. After all, it was the most devastating event that has ever happened to the Jew, and the most vindicating event to ever happen to the Christian! Coper |
