“There would have been no bible at the time Jesus lived. “

You can’t possibly be serious, because no one who knows anything about the Bible would make such and ignorant statement.

Have you even read the Bible, Old Testament or New, ever???

How many times did Jesus quote from the Old Testament? Do you recall? What scriptures did he quote when tempted by Stan himself?

I will never understand how people like this author pull “facts” out of their rear ends, which are not facts at all, and pretend to be educated. It is laughable.

Have you ever heard of “Moses”? Have you ever heard of the Psalms, written by King David? Have you ever heard of the book of Job? All written before Jesus was born.

Just wow.

Lots of typos, but ypou get my drift. If you’re gonna stake your eternity on some cock-sure dismissal of the Bible, based on the flimsy evidence you’ve presented....good luck with that.

I think you’re being a little too hard on the General.

He is quite correct that the final canon of the Bible was not fully in place when Jesus walked the earth.

The OT was in process of canonization, with some sections of the present fully accepted as such, and possibly others, notably the “Writings,” not yet promoted to canonical status.

The NT of course has not yet been written when Jesus was around. There was a generally accepted NT canon by early 200s, but various groups were still arguing over the issue of which books to include and exclude a LOT later.

For instance, Luther tried to get four books of the canon removed from his followers’ Bibles. It didn’t take.

The Council of Trent accepted several books of the OT as canonical that most Protestants consider apocryphal.

It all fits Roman Catholic indoctrination.

Indeed. And Franky Schaeffer knows this but I think he’s desperately trying to convince himself otherwise.
