Hi CG D,You still haven't sorted out the Truth which The Creator GOD declared?
Your allegations/guessing would become clear should you be so inclined to "truly search the Scriptures" rather than believing the heresy of mankind.
I didn't write the Bible. Or change anything.[/quote]
You didn't write it, but somebody did. And, it wasn't God. It was people that claimed God told them at best. The same as other religions that you claim are false. You didn't write it but you and others have interpreted it, a hundred different ways. I'm exaggerating of course, it's probably a thousand.
Hi CG D, Yes, "somebody" did write what was written in the O.T and Somebody did write the N.T. The O.T. was written by the prophets chosen by GOD to deliver his messages(which were inspired, but the words by which those messages were presented were the prophets and in a language of the people's understanding) to the people who claimed to have HIM as their GOD.
Those writers of the N.T. were sent into the world to proclaim the "whatsoever I have told you"(as witnesses) which was given to Jesus by GOD, THE Father(and in accordance to the principles previously given the those O.T. prophets and at Sinai). Those(N.T.) writers were witnesses to all that Jesus had said and done in revealing the right principles and relationship which all who choose to be HIS Followers and subjects would obey.
Did GOD prophesy that there would come a "falling away" from HIS Truths? Yes, That is seen in Dan.7:25, and Paul emphasizes the soon happening of that truth--2Thess.2:3-4. Acts 20:29-32.
That applied to the Jewish people and to those who claim to be "followers of the way"/Christians.
PS.33:4, "For the word of the LORD
is right; and all his works
are done in truth. "
John 17:17, "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
Your choice. ALL will answer to GOD for their decisions. Mankind's opinions or the truths revealed by GOD?
