Bible Question:
I second this! If we start wondering if the NT is flawed maybe we should start wondering if the OT is flawed too. We could also start wondering if the word is true at all or just some man made story! We are to believe and know on faith! Faith is the evidence of things not seen! We are told to have faith! Faith that the bible is truly the word of God without flaw. Faith that God is real. Faith that Jesus lived. NO the NT is not flawed - I know this because I have faith in God; that He was in total control of the bible and every word that went into it! Whoever believes that the NT is flawed does not believe in the power of God. Without believeing in the power of God can one truly be saved? |
Bible Answer: May God richly bless you for this testimony, prayon....When we begin to cast doubts on the inerrant truth of the Bible, we put ourselves upon a pathway that leads us to ultimate destruction. The by-ways of human error and human wisdom lead to apostasy, to agnosticism, to atheism, to paganism. Once we permit a crack in the dam, the floodgates open rapidly. That's why many members of this forum have risen up so strongly against even the insinuation that Apostolic teaching could have been in error. We believe that it is wrong, terribly wrong, to entertain any possibility for error in the teachings, written or oral, of the Apostles of Jesus Christ. This forum is not the proper medium for any such wild speculation. There are any number of other places where anything goes and wherein one can philosophize and muse to his heart's content. Let those who wish to engage in such activities take their baggage and check it in at those places, but not on this study Bible forum. We are here to study God's word, not question it. The premise that God's word is authoritative and inerrant is a given, a sine qua non, on this forum. This is not to thwart honest questions by honest seekers after the truth, but it is to discourage vain discourse -- philosophical and metaphysical musings that have no didactic merit whatever. --Hank |
