Subject: So when did "evil" start? |
Bible Note: Greetings Kalos! I think when Lisa refers to the Eloheim and yahweh writings that she is refering to the documentary theories of the Old Testament (please correct me if I am wrong Lisa!) I'm sure you have heard of them, but for the sake of those who haven't, there are many liberal scholars who believe that books like Genesis are actually made up of segments of several different writings. They call these J, E, P, D. The theory is that each writing had distinctive elements which can be identified in the text. In my opinion, they only thing that can be indentified is the bias of the author! Again, I know that you are familiar with this, but others might not be! Might I add that I fully support your comments. The Old Testament canon was closed before the birth of Christ and was fully recognized by Him. The New Testament canon has been closed for almost 2000 years. While other books and writings may be interesting for historical reasons, they are not Scripture! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
