The Holy Scriptures are the pillar and foundation of our faith.People could simply read the book of John and discover how to be saved (therefore it is *sufficient* for that purpose), but that doesn't also necessitate making the book infallible or John into a Christian version of the Oracle of Delphi. Infallibility applies to God alone. The bible is not God.
I always prove those people wrong.
Just wait for the responses to that one.Good point, if the Bible is not infallible...what is the basis for the pope's authority?
Depends on what they don’t believe.Do you think it is possible to be a follower of Christ without believing the Bible is 100% Gods word off of the simple fact that a person may not trust the intentions of human beings? Do you THINK the Bible is 100% the word of God or do you KNOW it’s 100% the word of God?
but I'm confused, why do these say different things
Good point. The Scriptures can be misused via eisegesis.Does it say clearly in the Bible that the pope has authority or do we read between the lines to come to that conclusion? If we are reading between than that’s an opinion and far from infallible I would think.
Because your confused...
Read them it will become manifest.How do these verses show that the Word of God is a collection of writings compiled in the fourth century vs. the actual, living person of God?
Lol don’t know how Cohen got involved in the discussion.Are you proving them wrong with your interpretation of scripture? If so then is it possible that you Cohen actually be wrong?
why they say different outcomes for the earth
Because God is not a God of confusion.How do you know this for a fact?
You are kidding right? You want to pit poetry against prophecy?Super, I have a question then, it's pretty simple but I'm confused, why do these say different things? You probably have a simple answer...
Ecclesiastes 1:4 King James Version (KJV)
4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
2 Peter 3:10-13 King James Version (KJV)
10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
Okay...what exactly are you seeing?
You are kidding right? You want to pit poetry against prophecy?
Solomon was not speaking prophetically and Peter was not speaking poetically.
An orange is not a squirrel and a squirrel is not an orange.
I have taken biblical Hebrew for over a decade, but thanks for the book definition.That means Priest...for @Ken Rank ...
*Kohen or cohen (or kohein; Hebrew: כֹּהֵן kohen, "priest", pl. כֹּהֲנִים kohanim, "priests") is the Hebrew word for "priest", used in reference to the Aaronic priesthood.
Understand. That is why the prophecy and theology threads are sometimes a confusing mess.I'm not sure why the word of God is not consistent between poetry and prophecy then?
Yes. What the Bible says, God says.
For example, would we expect to find eternal life in Messiah in the Torah?
