What people say about it is always a secondary source, a commentary as it were. God established His words in the Old Testament directly to His called people through Moses: He told us what would work if we want to be His. The prophets spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit to show how what God said applied to the situation they saw to both warn and encourage. Jesus (understandably ) spoke with authority to show how what God had said applied to the world in Truth, in contrast to the misrepresentations of the present system of religious leadership. What Peter and Paul wrote was to help people in various situations understand what God had said to begin with. They used various methods and illustrations but the intent was to help people hear the same unchanging truth about what works if we want to be His. It always encourages me to realize that God is not a moving target: He and what He says are constants we can trust with our lives. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My job is to seek the truth. I think that should be everybody's job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think muzzling people we disagree with is helpful in our pursuit of the truth. One thing we DO know: When God and Jesus are quoted in the Bible, we have the inerrant and inspired word of God, or at least, I would hope we could all agree on that.

Hi: Not quite sure where you are going with this. IF you disqualify some NT books as not being inspired truth, how would you do that, and on what basis do you assume some books in NT are not truth???? I think you are on a somewhat slippery slope discounting some NT books as not being truth . . . Ray . . . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
