Empty words. After it has been proven that Gospels are not perfect, why is suddenly not believing that epistles or Acts are perfect "not believing Scriptures"?Looks like proof of unbelief to me.
You either believe Scripture, or you don't.
Your choice.
I choose to believe it.
Come on, enough of these logical fallacies. "You either believe Scripture or you don't" is obviously a false dichotomy.
It's a very true statement. Either you believe in the words of GOD are you don't. There is no in between.
This statement would be far more at home in Islam where their text is supposedly the literal dictation of God rather than in Christianity where the views all boil down to inspiration of some sort. And there is quite a bit of latitude on how one understands how inspiration operated/operates.It's a very true statement. Either you believe in the words of GOD are you don't. There is no in between.
Why would it matter? Would we believe any book that says it is inerrant and infallible just because it says it is?Where in scripture does it say that GOD's word is inerrant and infallible?
The Gospel writers didn't always worry about getting every single event in perfect time order. Instead, they sometimes grouped stories together or arranged them in ways that would help teach important lessons about who Jesus was and what he came to do.I don't remember. . .but each writer does not always include the whole record.
You have to interweave the accounts to get the complete picture.

I am a little confused by what I am reading so may I ask for clarification?I think you are missing the problem. If God did not supernaturally protect Gospels from errors, there is no reason why should other parts of the Bible be free of errors. Just because we have only one version of for example epistles is by the nature of those writings. It is not a proof of anything.
Really? You think there is grey area with GOD on this?
Many will tell you it is God breathed. From 2 Timothy 3:16You didn't answer the question, but let me answer it for you,.... it doesn't.
Yep. If there wasn't a functional grey area, there wouldn't be dozens of interpretative traditions of Christianity, all claiming that they, and only they, have the hot-line to the Holy Spirit.
Faith isn't dependent upon having a New Testament in your hands and reading it correctly. It does help though.
Doesn't "God breathed" imply that? To many it does.Does it say infallible?
Sorry, mankind may work like that, but GOD doesn't. If you are not sealed unto the day of redemption, then your probably not His.
Oh, puh-lease. Spare me the oh so enlightend Pentecostal one-upmanship. I see you as a fellow Christian, you can and should do the same for me in return. Besides, you don't even know what I believe, so maybe put a lid on the condemnation and overassurance.
Yea, I'm certainly forcing you to reply to me.
