Yes that is what we are told.
Have you considered how the rule of Constantine the Great has effected what we now understand to be the Bible?
There is a God and I worship and rely on Him, but with all that we have learnt about I have some serious doubts about what we’ve been given as “The Truth”.
The point is that Constantine had a major role in the development of much of the foundation of Christianity as we know it. So, would it not make sense for Constantine to rewrite, add to and edit out parts that would directly challenge the Roman Empire? Of course it would.
To directly answer that question, of course I do. God is capable of almost anything, but just because He can does not mean He does..
Man has been corrupting the word of God since the beginning.
Unless you are a Catholic wouldn’t you say the Catholic Church has corrupted the Bible?
Did it only become uncorrupted after Martin Luther?
Many men have taken the Bible and added to it and or removed from it. Do you really believe that the one you look at has not had that happen to it? The Dogma that has been placed on Christians to believe the Bible can not be flawed because it is the word of God is flawed in itself. To correlate the “actual words” of God with being the same thing as a book that man has had his hands all over is perilous to say the least.
I couldn’t tell you what’s missing or what’s been added or “interpreted” incorrectly, but there’s no doubt in my mind that man has put his on thoughts and desires into what we except today as the word of God.
Without the Catholic Church there would be no bible as you know it today. All the teachings of Christ and apostles were passed down orally and through sacred tradition. People back then could barely even read.
The terms Catholic and Christians were synonymous ever since 107AD and in reality it still is.
You’re meaning to say Christ allowed humanity to be in error for one thousand five hundred years following His teachings until Martin Luther somehow uncovered the truth as he was a monk priest trying to marry a nun?
Luther removed books from the original bible and this began the Protestant reformation. Now we have over 45,000 different Christian denominations all claiming to possess the truth. They cannot all be true all at once. Surely Christ would not have wanted such division amongst His people
In some ways you proved my point..
I need to be clear that I’m not questioning God I’m questioning the decisions of man to omit from and add to the Bible what they see fit.
I also question the dogmas that man gives to society based on their interpretations of the Bible.
If you believe the Bible was perfectly preserved and divinely protected from flawed humans then why would it be allowed to be taught in imperfect ways?
There’s a lot to unwrap here but really it boils down to faith.
The case can be made he allows his image to be corrupted as well as words.
I would remind you he is in the free will business. We suffer the consequences of allowing his words to be corrupted.
