No. It is a statement of the relative importance of the (secondary) human authors & the (Primary) Divine Author.Is that called controlling the narrative by claiming God controlled the narrative in order to make the narrative of the controllers unquestionable?
The author of Hebrews is not mentioned in the letter. So we don't know who wrote it. That does not mean it is a forgery or that it is not inspired.Most scholars agree that not all of Paul's epistles were written by Paul. Almost all scholars think that Hebrews wasn't written by him, even Luther and Calvin believed it wasn't written by Paul. Luther thought it was written by Apollo.
So if most agree that Hebrews was forged by someone claiming to be Paul, why is it in the Bible?
The argument can be "it is inspired by God even if it wasn't written by Paul", but then again, I could argue that many apocryphal books could be included in the Bible based on that argument, for example, we know that 1 Enoch wasn't written by Enoch and many say it was Spin-off literature from ancient times, however, it is referd to by some of the authors of the NT, so, who is then to claim that its not inspired? or The Gospel of Thomas, it also wasn't written by Thomas and has a protognostic vibe, could be inspired thou....
But the biggest problem I see is: how can a letter be inspired by God if someone is comitting fraud by claiming he is Paul? and Hebrews is not the only letter in dispute...
I like the idea from early Christianity that the letter was written by Paul in hebrew and translated into greek by Luke, but still, many say that the letter is very different from Luke's other work.
Or maybe Paul told one of his disciples to write a letter whilst giving him some pointers on what the letter should cover.
Thomas Aquinas defended Paul's authorship, and some (very few) modern scholars claim it was written by Paul.
Either way, it is something that makes me doubt the infalibility of the Bible.
Which Jesus said was the return of God in governance over mankind. (but we like to make it all about us in diverse ways)the TRUTH contained in the scripture of the revelation of the Christ
That is a side issue. The death and resurrection of the Christ is ground zero in the scripture.Which Jesus said was the return of God in governance over mankind. (but we like to make it all about us in diverse ways)
No, in the religion. The Messiah and governance of God was what the Jews expected and got even though they rejected it. They didn't build the temple on resurrection but rather reunification with God.The death and resurrection of the Christ is ground zero in the scripture.
I don't think you have understood what @Paidiske was saying. In no way was she perverting the names of God's Holy Apostles.Why do people, with no fear of God before their eyes, love to pervert the names of God’s holy apostles and prophets, just to sound “intelligent”?
I listened to an interview an atheist had on his YouTube blog with fellow atheist and new testament scholar Bart Ehrman.Most scholars agree that not all of Paul's epistles were written by Paul. Almost all scholars think that Hebrews wasn't written by him, even Luther and Calvin believed it wasn't written by Paul. Luther thought it was written by Apollo.
