AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspiration] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately--behaving honorably with personal integrity and moral courage]; |
Bible Question: Is this to raise the possibility, Lionstrong, that Paul could have not been inerrant in some of his teachings to some of the churches he established? Paul, an Apostle chosen by our Lord to carry His gospel to the nations, could have erred in his teaching? Is this a possibility truly worthy of consideraion? --Hank |
Bible Answer: No, this is not a possibility worthy of anyone's consideration. I would like to comment upon the exceeding foolishness, ignorance and absurdity of even implying or suggesting that the Apostle Paul (and by implication the other Eleven) went around teaching error, inaccuracy and falsehood. To create such doubt in the minds of people as to the accuracy and truthfulness of the Apostles' teaching is to cast doubt upon the New Testament as well as upon Christianity itself. Once one starts speculating on this, the potential for doubt and deception is unlimited. As I say, I would like to comment upon such a nutty notion, but it would do no good whatsoever. Let the foolish and ignorant remain foolish and ignorant. It's their choice. |
