Bible Question:
I thought this should have its very own discussion. I've seen on this forum as well as other places, recently and not so recently, the act of maybe placing slightly more of an emphasis on certain Scripture due to accuracy, who spoke it and when it was penned. Is there not problem with this way of thinking due to the author of all Scripture? Shouldn’t we hold all of His words at the same level? Or am I maybe being a bit too sensitive here? Looking forward to comments. Stand in His grace, WOS |
Bible Answer: WOS, Good morning brother. No I don't necessarily think your being too sensitive. The basic tenet of scripture according to 2 Timothy 3:16,17 is that it's all God breathed. We may place more focus on certain segments of scripture than others, But! We gotta take the bible as a whole. We gotta remember That God is the author, men may have penned it but God authored it and did not place any more validity on one part than the other. People can't afford to discount any part of God's Word. It helps to keep Romans 15:4 in mind. I will say this though there may be some manuscripts that may be more accurate than others but we gotta be careful with that. In Him, lionheart |
