I think the sovereign God has control over whether or not His Word was manipulated or not... If it were manipulated, it wouldn't have been outside of what He allowed to happen.
Attacking the inerrancy of the Bible has been going on since God gave Moses the Law. I'm sure He is used to it by now as He saw it coming in advance before He breathed creation into existence.
Unless God has told you this directly there is no reason to believe it. God allows every evil under the sun to exist. Including manipulation of His Word. At the end of the day, the Bible is a book written by people. The Word of God is Jesus Christ. John is very clear about this. The Bible is not God nor incorruptible or inerrant. Only God is that. Remember the warning of the Second Commandment. Do not call anything made by the hands of men God. That doesn’t just mean statues of Zeus, that includes the trappings of religion
Only God is God.
'All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; so that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.' 2 Timothy 3:16-17
I believe the Holy Spirit, who dwells within me, would convict me as to if I am reading something, the Bible in this case, that is not divinely inspired. Outside of the Bible, there are no other writings that are divinely inspired.
'For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. ' Hebrews 4:12
We, as Christians, do not worship the Bible, we worship Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I belong to a church that can almost exalt doctrine over the Savior, and it's a sad battle that I have to fight within the body. However, if I cannot rely on the Holy Scriptures that God has provided, how am I led in the process of sanctification? How do I learn more about our Savior?
I am in full agreement that Jesus Christ is the Word of God.
If I am wrong, I apologize in advance, but it seems like you are saying the the Bible cannot be trusted.
Scripture literally translated means God breathed. We both know that means something the Almighty said directly. Not all of the Bible claims that. Most of it doesn’t. So yeah, if the Maker said something directly, that’s Scripture. Everything else is just an opinion.
People can not be trusted. Ever. That is all I am saying and we both agree.
But that voice in your heart. I agree that’s real. He is Risen.
Also, thank you. Thank you for fighting for Jesus over doctrine. It’s the most important fight. Also, I agree, God wouldn’t just leave us hanging. And where we can’t find more in the teaching of ministers and religion, God will reach out to us directly.
Saved my sorry ass even when it wasn’t expected or necessary.
He saved all of our sorry asses... When the time was right, He came and got us and brought us back to Him. I appreciate having a good, healthy dialogue with you, Brother/ Sister, and, since we have eternity in Heaven, getting to meet you someday. I pray the unbelieving eye can read this dialogue, know that we are His, then believe in only Son of God, Jesus Christ. May God bless you and the light He shines through you.
Expected or necessary for God...not me.
