Exactly...However, it is not a reasonable question...God says he will preserve his words forever and that the world will pass away but his words will never pass away...
God chose the way of the bible as the means to preserve his words...
One needs to be more specific with the question...For example; what if the bible had never been written, or, what if all bibles suddenly disappeared today including all references to scripture, could we continue on with Christianity...
As long as we have the reference material, someone would be quick to write a bible in this generation...
If we forgo all the reference material, we have to depend on what of scripture we have 'hid in our hearts'...
It would be real tough to become a Christian without the availability of the bible...The scriptures tell us to 'prove all things'...Impossible to prove anything without the standard with which to judge...
So while the current generation may continue on until attrition does it work, I believe Christianity would soon fail to exist...
And without the writings of the Apostles, God would have come up with another means to preserve his words for the generations to come...
But fortunately, we will never be without the scriptures...
Thank you for your thoughts.
To me the question seemed to be a means of plowing the ground to plant the idea that it might be possible to have a Christianity without the Bible, something I don’t think is possible.
Cheers!
