Subject: How can moses say about his burrial? |
Bible Note: What are you picking on me for. I was answering Hanks question. I thought I did a right nice job too. Seriously I have sat where you evidently are sitting and I have heard the same logical and rational sounding arguments your expounding. But there comes a point where we either say I'm taking the Bible at face value or I'm pitching it because quite frankly I'm not ‘god’ enough to sort through what belongs and what doesn't. If I reject one verse as extraneous to God's word then how do I determine the next verse isn't, if I say one verse doesn’t belong then how do I say another does, if I say this writer really didn’t mean what he said how do I say another means exactly what he said, if I reject the authorship of one verse or two why not three or four? All the arguments have been made, and all the testimony is in, either you say the Bible today is exactly as God would have it or you say it isn’t and reject the whole thing. Because in effect if you reject any you also reject God’s power to preserve His word, He wasn’t able to overcome a zeal of a scribe, he wasn’t able to prevent a contaminate from infecting his word. If God can’t preserve His Word on this earth then how can we believe he can preserve us? We can’t really. To doubt one verse is to doubt the whole. I expect many will argue this point but I can stand on no other. Now that's dogmatic! woof! EdB |
