Divine Inspiration

[FallentoReason]

we've had this discussion several times now. It does not matter when mark ends. The bible is a tool, and in it's role it is the complete inspired word of God. Now if we are only responsiable for what we have been given to understand. Which can only ever be a small portion of all the bible contains. Meaning we will have cut the bible short in our own capasity to comperhend it. Or in our studies if we have been given over to insight and explaination that goes beyond the written words of a given translation in a particular passage, then we in effect have extended the message, and again are responsiable to share it.

I still don't understand how you can accept errors as being a part of "God's plan" in making the Bible. That makes no sense.

Interesting what you say here. How exactly are you doing people a favour by preaching to them in that case? You're making them aware of more things where they need to be in line. Of instead you never introduced the Bible to someone then they have less to 'live up to'.

The Bible is complete in the purpose in which God intended. Your question suggests that you are looking to worship or deify the bible itself as a means to worship God.(In that the bible needs to be perfect as you imagine God to be perfect) Almost like a reliquary/item or a sort of idol worship. This is yet another 1000 year old false concept of worship. Because again the bible is a tool. We are not to worship the hand tools of the Master Builder. We are to Worship the Master Builder Himself.

I think this misses the point I'm talking about.

Nope. But that does not mean I ignore it either.

Also stop using morality as any kind of standard. It not. We are all 'immoral' all of the time. to say you or I are 'moral' is foolish. Because neither of us can possiable be up to par with God righteous standard. That means we have to default our 'morality' to the ever declining standards of the pop culture. which is completely meaningless.

Ok, so you don't endorse Paul's sexist views but at the same time you assert that the Bible is what tells us what's right and wrong? Contradiction.
