Nothing in the Bible goes against God.  No, we don't agree more than we disagree and this kind of statement proves it.

Where did I say anything in the bible goes against God? The argument I'm making is that, with the exception of places where the words are directly attributed to God, e.g. "God said..." or words in red, they are the words of men inspired by God, as opposed to "channeling" God. They are good for teaching, reproof, etc...

LOL, no that is not why the four Gospels are not identical.  

It's one reason. ;)

And who has the authority to differentiate between what is from God and what is actually from man?   

Each of us has that authority regarding our own beliefs. If you want to know if you have the God given authority to do a thing, try to do it. If you can, you've at least been given the authority to choose to do it.  It doesn't necessarily mean you should or shouldn't do to. Murder would be an example of this.

Paul said that for him all things are permissible, but not all things are profitable. That is the Christian life. And because of our belief, it means that some things, though permissible, are far from our thoughts - or our actions.

No, it is not.  You really have no clue about what you're talking about.

That makes the Bible servant to reader and make the reader the arbiter of Scripture.   And that is not a Christian perspective.

No, you don't have any God-given authority to decide for  yourself  which parts of the Bible are from God and which parts are not.  Your perspective is not the Christian perspective and really has no basis in truth.

And that verse by Paul does not apply to this issue.  It certainly doesn't give you the kind of license you have conned yourself into thinking you have to arbitrarily decide for yourself which parts of the Bible are from God and which parts are not.

The Bible, 100% of is inspired by God and that is the only correct and Christian way to look at it . If you say otherwise, YOU will have to stand before God and account to Him why you thought you could sit in judgment on His words.   I would not want to be in  your shoes.  I will just believe that the whole Bible is the Word of God.   That is what Christians believe and know.

Yes it is. And one of the frustrations I'm having is having to work with folks who seem to think that if I disagree with their opinion It means I must be either ignorant or stupid. Neither is true. We clearly interpret differently or, more likely, trust different extra-biblical authorities.

But I can't tell you how much prayer and meditation on God's words as well as the authors of the books in the bible really does help. :)

So, you don't think we are free to believe what we choose to believe?

Being that the New Testament was not written, we must give more attention and place more importance to the words of Jesus versus the words of Paul. 

 

The writings of Paul in the Bible are either the inspired word of God and should be fully accepted.. Or they are suspect and should be totally removed from the Bible.. There should never be this half way stand that places more importance on one part of the Bible or another part of the Bible.. All parts of the Bible are the Word of God.. if not then the Bible is no Holy and thus it cannot be trusted..  So it is one way or the other.. Either people accept the Holy Bible as a whole or they don't..

You forgot they also add, "unspiritual" and "unsaved."  ;)

Yes. And as a matter of fact, it's one of the things I want to ask God, regarding how I "should have" interpreted each and every verse of the hundreds, if not thousands of English translations of the words written by men inspired by God.

Fortunately, there is nothing in the bible about salvation depending on that.

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
