(So the words/book does not become a point of worship/false idol.)
Quote:Why? Because God in the bible never claimed the bible is without error. To say it is is to speak where the bible is silent.
Quote:Then is god imperfect?wow that was a huge leap in logic.. How does one go from" the bible never claims perfection" to God is imperfect.
As I already pointed out the imperfection of the bible only means the book/bible is not God.
Quote: Why wasn't he able to write (read - Inspire people to write) a perfect the bible?why would He want to? When what He has given is enough for the faithful to find Him, and the doubters the doubt they need to stay away from Him?
Quote:What if it's imperfect?then it is on God to forgive us when we follow a passage in error or it is up to Him to Change said passage as per a discovery like the Dead Sea scrolls.
Quote:Meaning all we need to have a direct interactive relationship with the Holy Spirit is found in the Bible. Because the Holy Spirit is indeed God, He then and his instruction is without error.
Quote:So if we have a connection with the holy spirit everything else can be ignored and we are saved?You'd have your answer if you simply reconstruct the context in which this quote of mine was taken.
Quote:Speaking of what is and is not in the bible the doctines of an Omni max God is not mentioned anywhere. This too is a religious teaching we have adopted extra-biblically.
Quote:Who invented that?The first vatican consul in the mid 1800's

Quote:Yes, supposedly it looks that way
Quote:In short being the Great I am/Apha and Omega means God is whom ever He wants to be.
Quote:So god is a chameleon?Is God a Chamaeleonidae? No.
I Wrote:Does it mean He can create a rock so big He can't lift it? Yes! if He wants too, and No if He does not! Does it mean He is bound by the defination of Omni benovlence? Again yes if He wants to Be No if He does not. Like wise does it mean a perfect God can have a bible published that is not perfect as God is perfect? Yes if He want's to No if He does not.
you Wrote:If he is omnibenevolent why can he commit evil?First, God never claims to be Omnibenevolent
Second, Evil is identified as being a deep desire to be outside of God's expressed will (Sin.) if God wills to do something, then it ceases to be a sin.
Understand God is the beginning and end of all things. Meaning He is the standard in which things are judged. Sin and evil is not a standard that big enough to judge God.
Quote:Christian English is complicated, translate that to regular EnglishGod being the alpha and omega does not subject Him to the paradoxes that being hailed as an Omni max God Does.
Quote:Explain this better. Is the bible perfect or not? and if it isn't, how do you know which parts are the truth about god and which aren't?See above. God is responsible for content of scripture or our forgiveness for following something less than perfect.
