Bible Note: Hi Taleb, You do not have to believe Paul is an unbeliever to explain his writings. I ask you why do you think the following statement made its way into the Bible, realizing whom the author really is? 2Timothy 3:15 "...as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you;16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness." Sounds like he is trying to warn people not to misinterpret Paul's writings like others have in the past. This is no trivial event when you really think about it. That is what I see. What do you see? Note: The word wicked is Strong's 113 "athesmos" which means 'one who breaks through the restraint of law and gratifies his lusts' One truth-seeker to another, Greg Boone |
