To my mind, if you cast doubt on some of the New Testament, then you cast doubt on the whole thing. Hard to figure out what people base their Christianity on if the New Testament is corrupted.

Why does it have to be all or nothing? You've never cut a bad part off of a potato? If you dare read "the Orthodox Corruption of Scripture". Just a little proof for ya that when it came to the scibes disdain for adoptionists and adoptionists viewpoints that there were some scribal corruptions. No reason to throw out the rest of the highly reliabe NT writings.

I agree, ksen! If it is "not all", as Invincibly has suggested by stating "Why does it have to be all or nothing? ", then which one of you will tell me "authoritatively" that what I am reading is the "word of God".

Once you deny the inerrency of any portion of scripture you cast the total of it into doubt. It becomes every man picking and choosing what they want to believe..

Either the Holy Spirit inspired the entire text and preserved the text or none of it is worth anything
