Subject: Faith apart from reading the Bible? |
Bible Note: You are wrong, Steve. You cannot say that there is something truer than the Bible and then say that the Bible is inerrant (meaning "no error"). Truth and error are complete opposites. Is there anything in the Bible that is not truth? If so, it is not inerrant. If not, then nothing can be "truer" than something that is 100 percent true. Or are you saying that Jesus is 120 or 190 percent true? A more precise statement would be that the revelation of God's plan of redemption reached its culmination in Christ. Both the Old Testament and Jesus Christ are revelations of absolute truth. Neither is false in any way. And now that Christ dwells in Heaven once more, how do we in the 21st century objectively learn of Jesus Christ? The Bible is not just a book ABOUT God, or even a book FROM God, but is a book divinely AUTHORED by God. One should never be shamed or ridiculed for revering God's self-revelation in the Scriptures, which He has preserved for all generations that we may know truth. --Joe! |
