Bible Question: Someone on this forum has raised the question, "Was Paul always right?" And I ask, if Paul was not always right in his teaching, do we have a flawed New Testament? |
Bible Answer: Greetings, Hank; Please don't misunderstand me when I say this, because I speak as one who believes that the whole Bible is God's Word, inerrant, infallible, eternal truth. But regarding _all_ that Paul taught we do not know, because all that he taught as he traveled on his missionary journeys is not recorded in Scripture. But what is important is that what God inspired him to write to the churches is without error. The New Testament "in its original autographs" is flawless in all that it teaches. |
