Thank you

You are most welcome.

It is my understanding and belief that the bible is the word of God, holy and fallible.

That's a contradiction.

 

[Integrity]

That's a contradiction.

That may be your understanding but not mine.

Do you believe Jesus is the Word of God?

 

[Thebrownblob]

That's a contradiction.

He can’t even understand what holy means.

 

[Thebrownblob]

That may be your understanding but not mine.

So you have your own vocabulary as well?

If you see it that way, I will not stop you. Do you have a point?

 

[vantexan]

That may be your understanding but not mine.

Do you believe Jesus is the Word of God?

I certainly do.

 

[BrownFlush]

I believe Jesus is the Word of God, perfect and infallible. He is the Word made flesh, the perfect image of the unseen God. I put all my faith, hope, trust, and love in Him.

It is my understanding and belief that the bible is the word of God, holy and fallible.

So, your understanding of the Bible being holy, as you state, which means divine, which means it's from God, is fallible. If it is Holy as you state, you do realize it would be unholy if it contained errors and inconsistencies.

That may be your understanding, but it is not my understanding. My understanding is that the term holy means set apart. I do agree that the bible is the book of books, consecrated for religious use, however I do believe it is fallible like any other book. I do love the bible. It is my favorite book.

What makes it set apart?

What makes it set apart?

Actually it is not what makes it set apart, it is who consecrated it. You may want to look up the history of the process of the religious of the day selected what to include and exclude.

So the author is what sets it apart?

 

[Integrity]

No.

I believe it was set apart by the religious leaders, it was they who set it apart for religious purposes. They decided over time what was to included, compiled, and set apart or consecrated it.

Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

Hebrews 12:2

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith

I love this.

What is your take on this verse?

KJV ?

 

[BrownFlush]

No.

I'm no scholar on how we got the Bible, but I do know enough about the manuscripts and their compilation.

What I'm trying to get a straight answer from you is, is the Bible a product of God or man?

You‘re probably not going to like this but I believe that the bible is a product of God and man.

Are the words that you are writing in this discussion thread a product of God or man?

Doesn't matter what I like or don't like.
So what makes it fallible?
