Who makes him mute or deaf, seeing or blind? Is it not I, Yahweh? 12 Now go! I will help[c] you speak and I will teach you what to say.” Footnotes: Exodus 4:10 = Moses Exodus 4:10 Lit heavy of mouth and heavy of tongue Exodus 4:12 Lit will be with you Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2002, 2003, 2009 by Holman Bible Publishers, Nashville Tennessee.

Was it God himself or a historic figure? Scriptures and names welcome. Thx The Bible we know today, the Canon of scripture, wasn't compiled in Paul's time.Before his conversion Paul, known as Saul, Paul being the Greek translation of his name, was a Jewish Pharisee who traveled the lands and persecuted, oversaw the execution, of the first Christians. Which were Jewish converts who were deemed apostate for turning from the Jewish faith. Saul held the cloak of the apostle Stephen as he was stoned to death. Being a Pharisee Paul was very well educated and legalistic. The scripture he spoke of being inspired by God was the Torah. Not what is our Bible today because it did not exist. There is a great deal of information on how the Bible was compiled. How we arrived at the Canon, which means it is closed scripture determined as the last time God will deliver his revelations to the earth's people, is also available on-line. This may help start you out. I hope you enjoy. NOVA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God breathed or whispered what the apostles were to write. The Holy Spirit is the author of the Bible. Jesus said and did only what the Father told Him to do. Mathew and John recalled His words with the help of the Holy Spirit. Mark wrote down the words Peter recalled. Luke wrote down what the apostles gave Him to write. 2Pe 1:21 For no prophecy ever originated because some man willed it [to do so—it never came by human impulse], but men spoke from God who were borne along (moved and impelled) by the Holy Spirit. Joh 16:12 "I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. Joh 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. Joh 16:14 He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. Joh 16:15 All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you. The Bible is the word of God, not of man. That is why it is called Holy Bible, the Sacred Scriptures. 1Th 2:13 ESV And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers. 1Th 2:13 AMP And we also [especially] thank God continually for this, that when you received the message of God [which you heard] from us, you welcomed it not as the word of [mere] men, but as it truly is, the Word of God, which is effectually at work in you who believe [exercising its superhuman power in those who adhere to and trust in and rely on it].

Guest Judas Machabeus Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 yes there is many verses of scripture that you can point to.... my question is where in the bible is the list of books that are inspired. It says scriptures but what are the scriptures? On 5/14/2017 at 3:24 PM, Guest said: Who first said the Bible was the inspired word of God? Was it God himself or a historic figure? Scriptures and names welcome. Thx The bible is a collection of books, Who first said that the bible (collection) of books is the inspired word of God. I think this is a good question and you can't go to the bible to get the answer. I'm not sure if the intention of "Guest" was this exercise or not, but it's hard to be sola scriptura when your scriptura needs man to define it.

Guest Judas Machabeus Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 17 hours ago, Yowm said: This may be so, but 'men' are included in Church Councils, correct? By what basis would these men/Church Councils determine which books are inspired and which are not, except by the Scriptures internal witness? this is circular reasoning... the bible is inspired because it says its inspired? What internal witness does scripture give to say the Gospel of Mark is inspired work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
