I'm not at all mad. I just think that your posts have so far been juvenile and ignorant.Don't get mad at me I am just asking.
How can this be true?! Bach wrote his symphonies down, and Da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. Original works from both of these men are still in existence.It's just as trustworthy as Bach's symphonies or the Mona Lisa.
No, you are making the ignorant suggestion that the absence of an 'original' Genesis manuscript is somehow evidence of something.I am ignorant because I am asking for the evidence, ...
Please don't put words in my mouth. It's transparently dishonest, and only serves to further demonstrate the worthlessness of your position.Hello! you said that YHWH
is all mighty, he is the protector
and the the preserver..so where are they
I am ignorant because I am asking for the evidence, that not one of you here is given, and because you cant bring the proof so you have to resort to calling me names
Your a cry cry baby
If the Bible is not 100% accurate in what it says, then how can you trust it at all? If small, insignificant verse #6 is wrong, then how can you put your faith in the belief that immensely important verse #22 is right? So isn't inerrancy mandatory?
Your first sentence says it all! Amen! Good post!!jojom,
A person using the excuse that the Bible is not 100% accurate, is really trying his best to find an excuse for not obeying the word of The Almighty, Omniscient God.
God is going to judge this world, using His son, Jesus Christ. The basis for this judgment is The Bible, the word of God.
If any person is truly interested in knowing the word of God, it is very easy to find the truth, even if some Bibles have a very few errors in them. All a person has to do is compare each Bible with others, for it is very unlikely that the same error will be in the same place in every Bible.
I make sure that I get the truth, buy having around 40ty different Bibles, and interliniers to compare.
Bible scholars have been searching for accuracy for many years, and they have found that, all reason for not believing what the Bible says, has now, no basis whatsoever.
It has been found that no man can even copy a whole Bible without making a mistake, let alone translate a whole Bible into another language.
Are you going to use the excuse, that because it is impossible to translate a Bible completely inerrantly, you are going to dismiss the Bible and die an everlasting death??? Is so, I would say that is not very wise, when all you have to do is compare Bible translations to get the truth, even is very small things.
Any errors that are found in the Holy Bible, are very insignificant, usually errors in names or numbers. These errors have, many times, been found, not to be errors at all, but different names used by the different languages in the area. Many names of people were also used as numbers.
The thing we want to keep in mind is, any error ever found in the Bible had nothing to do with the life giving MESSAGE from God contained in His Holy word.
God has promised that He would not allow errors to His word, Ps 12:6,7. The Bible tells us to search for truth as we would for treasure, silver or gold, and if we do we will find the very knowledge of God, Pr 2:2-9.
Do not let laziness keep you from finding salvation, and the opportunity of living in that paradise, that God promises to all who love Him.
One more point; people who call themselves Higher Critics, have been searching the scriptures for hundreds of years, to find the smallest error in God's word. Each and every time they have claimed to have found an error, they later had to eat crow, to their own shame and embarrassment.
That is redundant. If a person is trying to find an excuse then of course they are using an excuse, but that isn't my situation. I never went looking for an excuse. A literal interpretation of the Bible makes it into something it never was, so the person who insists it is 100% accurate is the one making excuses for whatever reason. Usually they are trying to put other people, particularly children, on guilt trips to turn them into servants, usually to accumulate real estate and power. Have you ever noticed how the many different churches are often right across the street from one another and how wasteful that is? I notice, and I also notice how many churches are in debt today paying for land they don't need. These are the churches that insist the Bible is 100% accurate and put their congregation on guilt trips, meanwhile somebody gets rich. A lot of people go to church once per week so that a few people may have six days off from work. Naturally those people at the top continue to insist the Bible is 100% accurate.A person using the excuse that the Bible is not 100% accurate, is really trying his best to find an excuse for not obeying the word of The Almighty, Omniscient God.
So what? How does this impact my question: "If the Bible is not 100% accurate in what it says, then how can you trust it at all? If small, insignificant verse #6 is wrong, then how can you put your faith in the belief that immensely important verse #22 is right? So isn't inerrancy mandatory?"jojom,

Outhouse,
There is absolutely no basis for reasoning with a person who does not believe The Holy Scriptures.
Belief in the Scriptures and faith in the ransom sacrifice of Jesus
The Apostles were the authority on Bible
The Bible says that ALL scripture is inspired by God,
Paul states that what is written is not the word of man, but the word of God.
God will send His son very soon to judge
if God allowed His word to be adulterated, it would not be His word,
