Fabian, I hope you will answer a question for me.
If you condemn those who learn and follow the written Word, then from what does your Pastor(?) get his material to teach you? I don’t understand.

OBVIOUSLY; you did NOT let your cursor linger over the images...

I reckon I’m not bright enough to understand, Elsie. If a person claims to be Christian but then says, in a way, to not cling to the Word that instructs on how to be a Christian, then how ...
Ah. I don’t think I can make sense of it. I just don’t get how that is supposed to work.
To: SouthernClaire
Yes, that is like reading a manual for a Ford when you have a Chevy.

The argument is circular.
1. The Bible says it is the Word of God.
2. We know what the Bible says is true because it’s the Word of God.
IOW, it is because it says it is and it says so because it is. This is standard evangelical theology, but it’s horrible logic.

the entire Bible meshes together That's suspect. You don't think the writers (whoever they were) knew of the prophecies and framed the story accordingly?

They’re not. They’re pseudepigraphic and they’re not history — they’re inspirational works pitched to specific audiences. They’re based on the oral tradition, which tends to be a long game of telephone, as it gets distorted through being passed along from one source to another.
And they have scribal errors, some accidental and often incidental, but some both deliberate and significant.
Isn't that what Longnecker/the OP just said?
