Bible Question:
Luke 1:1 Inasmuch as many have undertaken to compile an account of the things accomplished among us, Luke 1:2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the beginning were eyewitnesses and servants of the word, Luke 1:3 it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus; Luke 1:4 so that you may know the exact truth about the things you have been taught. (there's that word "truth" again! :-) ) Am I correct in saying that though "(t)he Bible was never meant to be, and certainly isn't, a comprehensive history of the world," it is the only history that can be relied upon to be inerrant? Hank, although you said that the Word alone is inspired, some don't seem to see the implication that that means that the Word is inerrant. I thought I'd make that explicit. |
Bible Answer: Lionstrong, greetings. We haven't "interacted" in quite a while, so I'll try to interact amicably and not act up :-) Yes sir, I believe with all my heart that the Scriptures are historically correct. If we believe in God and believe that the Scriptures are God-breathed, that doesn't leave us much wiggle room to come up with alternate humanly-conceived theories, does it?.......Concerning secular historical documents, while some are considerably more reliable than are others, none is perhaps without some error or exaggeration here and there. Some are fairly objective and others quite subjective in the manner in which they treat their material. A sterling example of historical error is Herodotus in his History of the Greco-Persian Wars. Modern historians generally agree that his work is riddled with fantasies and inaccuracies..... But I stray from the question. Suffice it to say that secular historical background does not have to be without some error in order to be helpful to us today in our quest to learn more about people and their manner of life in Bible times. What we want is a general view that does not require pin-point accuracy of every detail. No secular work, historical or otherwise, that I know of has been subjected to anything approaching the minute, virtually microscopic scrutiny that the Bible has. No one yet has truly proved the Bible wrong. And I join an army of believers who believe that no one ever will. --Hank |
