 To test the Word?

Yes of course, for the word of God stands to testing! Ask questions always for again the word of God stands up to questions.

Are you suggesting that Scripture is not complete?
If so, I would contend with that!
The canon of Scripture was closed in 90's AD
Revelation 22:17 (KJV)

[17] And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

[18] For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

[19] And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

And God has equipped us fully with it
2 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)

[15] And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

[16] All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

[17] That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

The communication from God is complete and to suggest otherwise seems contrary to the intended communication of God to us... 

 

 

What would scholars do if the letter that Paul seems to have written,  based upon the context of the existing Corinthians text, were to be found is  a question, one  not unique to me at all. 

Would there be a review by scholars to determine it's validity and whether it is inspired of God or  not? I think there would be such reviews.

There obviously have been many  reviews over the many centuries in the past on the content of the Bible and the meaning and proper application of  it's precepts commands and even history.

What is rather marvelous is how it holds up over those many centuries, whether in original languages or even transliterations in various languages.

On earth. In heaven the Book of Life is either recording our actions, or dictating them, depending on one's belief.

Test the Spirits

4 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. 4 Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. 6 We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.1 John 4:4-7

There is enough in Scripture for what is than to go looking for what if's.... what if is a waste of time...

No, the Word of God does not stand for testing. Testing God is not acceptable when the test is rooted in doubt.

Jasher 5

9 And Noah and Methuselah spoke all the words of the Lord to the sons of men, day after day, constantly speaking to them.

10 But the sons of men would not hearken to them, nor incline their ears to their words, and they were stiffnecked.

11 And the Lord granted them a period of one hundred and twenty years, saying, If they will return, then will God repent of the evil, so as not to destroy the earth.

 

Jasher 6

16 And all the sons of men that were left upon the earth, became exhausted through evil on account of the rain, for the waters were coming more violently upon the earth, and the animals and beasts were still surrounding the ark.

17 And the sons of men assembled together, about seven hundred thousand men and women, and they came unto Noah to the ark.

18 And they called to Noah, saying, Open for us that we may come to thee in the ark--and wherefore shall we die?

19 And Noah, with a loud voice, answered them from the ark, saying, Have you not all rebelled against the Lord, and said that he does not exist? and therefore the Lord brought upon you this evil, to destroy and cut you off from the face of the earth.

20 Is not this the thing that I spoke to you of one hundred and twenty years back, and you would not hearken to the voice of the Lord, and now do you desire to live upon earth?

21 And they said to Noah, We are ready to return to the Lord; only open for us that we may live and not die.

22 And Noah answered them, saying, Behold now that you see the trouble of your souls, you wish to return to the Lord; why did you not return during these hundred and twenty years, which the Lord granted you as the determined period?

Jasher are mere fictions or Jewish moral treatises.

the bible doesnt say a lion will lay down with a lamb it says a wolf will:

isaiah 11:6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb

noah didnt have ppl mocking him when he was building the ark

so where did these ideas come from?

Amazing how the traditions of man (and supplementary memory) does this.

The lion and lamb refer to the Messiah Jesus in scripture (Lamb of God Lion of Judah).

Noah is referred to as a preacher of righteousness, so building a barge in the middle of the desert

(plus the fact that it may not have even rained to that point in history yet) may have helped the

suppositional ridicule of Noah... but you are correct, the scripture does not record that he was mocked.

Hebrews 9:16-17 states that the New Testament did not begin until Jesus' death on the cross (not at

Matthew 1:1).

Jesus is his own prototype human of a distinct but similar human race (1 Corinthians 15:45) making the

virgin Miryam bat Eli Jesus' gestational surrogate rather than his DNA sharing mother. Which gave Jesus the

[legal] heritage of our human race and Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Judah, David.

Jesus' return predicated upon the outcry of Israel for him to save them (Psalm 118:25-26 / Matthew 23:37-39).

There are so many misunderstandings and misinterpretations and addition and subtractions to scripture by the hand

of man (which Jesus warned about in Mark 7:7 and Mark 7:13).
