Subject: Revelation in the Gospels? |
Bible Note: Jim- First, about the facts of the gospels. There were other sources at the time that Jesus could have related His experiences to, such as his mother. And you are right, He did have time after His ressurection to relate other information. But scripture says the Word is God-breathed and inspired by the HOly Spirit (2 Tim. 3:16) and the gospels are scripture. How can you explain the fall of Lucifer? No one was there to witness it. It was given by inspiration. If these words and/or visions were given to the prophets, were they more believable than Matthew, Mark, and the others? As to creation being in the number of days that were written in scripture, I find this a lot more easier to believe than what science is trying to get us to believe. But if you question, looking to find scripture as allegorical, what parts are you going to say are just stories and not fact? Instead of trying to fit the Word to what science says happened, go the opposite way and see if science can fit God's Word. Archaelogists are finding more and more facts proving the OT stories true that they said couldn't happen. How long until they realize the "big bang" was actually a "spoken Word"? I find the temptation of Eve fascinating in this regard. She had the Word of God right with her, but she listened to the other who said He couldn't mean what He said. God bless Debbie |
