Bible Question (short): Angel, How is the Bible incomplete? |
Question (full): Scripture ... 1 Cor 13:10, 2 Pet 1:16-21, 2 Tim 3:16, 1 Jhn 1:1-3 ... Angel, When I said ... "when Revelation was written, then prophecy and knowledge complete" ... it was one of two choices for about prefect (1 Cor 13:10). You said ... "Yet, we know that though the book of Revelation is complete as far as the offering of written revelations, we still need the Holy Spirit to do the actual interpretation and further refinement of the revealed matter... SO THE BIBLE ITSELF IS NOT COMPLETE! It is not lacking further revelations (new information/prophecies)... so in that sence it is perfected; yet, the written revelations cannot be resolved by man except through the Divine assistance of the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1:20-21) emphasis mine.. Why do you say, “the Bible in itself is not complete”? What do we need to add to the Bible? Is what we add inspired or just interpreted? When looking at this passage, I would start in verse 16, where we read we (Paul and others) did not follow cleverly devised tales. Then in verse 19 they had the prophetic word made more sure … they took the OT prophetic word and saw it proven (vv 16b-18) and now were telling what saw and heard (1 John 1:1-3). So I see verses 20-21 as saying the OT prophecy of Scripture is inspired. The NT is inspired, too (2 Tim 3:16). Searcher |
