Interesting remark, in light of the fact that it was the Bible's words (pearls) that were trampled.
Just as Jesus said they would be.
Matthew 7:6 is Sunday school material for teens and adults.
There is nothing inappropriate about someone demonstrating Matthew 7:6, using someone's request to: "Show a single verse where it states that the writer of any of the Gospels was a first hand witness to anything in the Gospels;" then, when a verse is shown, reply: "So you have a second hand account, a man claiming to be writing stories told to him by people claiming to be eye witnesses. So much for being the words of Jesus."
Matthew 7:6 is not an R-rated portion of Scripture.
The flood is the flood. The only falseness about the flood is those who claim the flood is false, among other things.
That is silly. When it says Jesus spoke to John, or Peter and said something, obviously they were witnesses.
Everyone knows that the name on the book in the bible is the name of the person who wrote it, that's obvious.
I don't know what all the fuss is about.
Obviously the new testament tells of what happened to the persons, and what was said etc. No one says it should have been written in a first person style. Yet obviously it happened to the folks writing and written of. In some cases we see the first person too.When it refers to these events in the 3rd person, it is obviously not a first hand account.

Re 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. John 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? 24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
Hoo ha!
Have you any basis to call John and Peter and Jesus, and Paul, and Luke, and Timothy, and Silas, and Mark, and all the folks in the bible fictional? That is insane.So, I can write a short story in first person, doesn't mean the fictional character is the author.

Because PSarah mentioned fictional characters.Why do you say that?
Not written by many people and verified enough to be held by the common body of the day as sacred!I have read many stories that are "based upon an actual event" that were clearly not true.
There are very often real names in those stories. That means those people could have been real, it lends no credibility to your story.
That is not what I am getting at, what I am trying to say is the first person speech doesn't mean that the events happened to the author, nor is the name of the biblical book necessarily the name of the author.
Unless they were liars all, yes, what they recorded and died for does need to be true actually.... I am trying to say is the first person speech doesn't mean that the events happened to the author, nor is the name of the biblical book necessarily the name of the author.

What people believe depends on what they chose to believe. The integrity of the events, prophesies, and people of the bible are well respected and passed down through time. In my opinion, one would need a rebel who has forsaken reason, and has a head bloody and unbowed to God, and was determined come hell or high water to dive as deeply into delusion as possible, to find any alternative no matter how vile or crazy....to engage in the rabid sort of Last Thursdayism some evos seem to want to at least pretend they advocate.

How would you know?And the Bible is full of fictional characters too.
Too bad man is full of errors.Too bad the Bible is so full of errors that that has not happened to it, isn't it?
Do we need to go over how badly failed the Tyre prophesy was again?
I try. Hey, what's not to believe?Yes, Christians do that all of the time. That is why there are thousands of different sects or different interpretations of the Bible. No one believes the whole Bible, not even you.
In the case of John for example, He identified himself as the person doing something with Jesus, not just by name.Many people died defending lies, it is unfortunate but it happens. However, there is also the possibility they happened to have the same name as the person they were writing about.
Better to think based on something rather than to just sort of conspiracy theory day dream stuff.They did not need to all be liars. I would think that most of them were simply mistaken.
