Is the bible authoritive and truly inspired?

But what was said to be true 5000 or 2000 or even 1 year ago may not be true at all.For instance, the Bible.

i said the author's names in the post but here it is again: it is the electronic version of the commentary.

using the Bible as an example just make syou obstinate and looking to cause trouble. the Bible is 100% true and there has been no scientific or archaeological discovery thathas provenone part of it false.as i said, which was NOT 'what was said to be true...' what was true 5,000, 2,000 years ago is still true today and that is the Bible not secular science and its evolutionary alternatives.

I'm sorry but you continue to post untruths, falsehoods, even after you have been given the evidence that parts of the Bible are false.There was no Biblical Flood. This has been provided to you several times and you never address the FACT that the Biblical Flood has been refuted.If necessary I will gladly post the point by point evidence that totally refutes the Biblical Flood myths.

If you're going to talk to me I'd appreciate it if you could write like an educated person instead of like a grade-school child. Capitalize your sentences. Use appropriate, correct spelling and punctuation.You're not talking with people on Twitter, you're talking to educated scientists. It's time for you to act like it. Your frequent mistakes make it all but impossible to understand what you're trying to say. The Bible has been disproven by an ample number of archeological and scientific discoveries which you have simply dismissed as a conspiracy by "secularists" to attack Christianity. That's not to mention all the archeological discoveries that are completely missing, if the accounts of the Bible are to be believed. ...and from what evidence do you conclude this? Do you see, yet, the circular reasoning you're engaged in? You believe the Bible is authoritative because that's supported by the evidence; evidence that contradicts that notion can be disregarded because the Bible is authoritative.Perfectly circular. Your entire position is a fallacy.

Again, I need to ask. If you are such an expert on ancient Greek, why do you have to do a large cut and paste? Why don't you put something in your own words.Just giving a name is not giving a reference. Was it that hard to actually cite the source?Don't you think biblical commentary and general knowledge may have changed a bit in 140 years.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

What truth? All you have is a bunch of stories told by men who had no knowledge of what the earth, the sun, stars, planets, weather, relation ship of life, plate tectonics, nuclear fission, disease causing microorganisms, electricity , lightning, rainbows and just about anything else. And you expect me to believe their mythological explanations as truth? Talking snakes? Global flood? Tower to heaven?

There is no better love between 2 people than mutual respect for each other WT Young, 2002Who gave anyone the authority to call me an authority on anything.

Gday, But the manuscripts are DIFFERENT, not compatible. Matthew 6:13 - The Lord's PrayerEarly and important MSS (Aleph, B, D, Z, 205, 547) as well as some fathers (Tertullian, Origen, and Cyprian) have :
"And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil"

Other MSS have :
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen"

And a few MSS have another version :
"And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the father, the son, and the holy spirit for ever. Amen"

A few MSS exclude the words "the power" or "the glory" or "the kingdom".The Lord's Prayer is one of the more variant parts of the NT. Now,
this prayer was supposedly taught by Jesus himself.
but God FAILED to preserve it,
and Jesus followers FAILED to remember it.Kap

Gday, But the manuscripts we have now are all different. I have posted many such examples, you just refuse to even discuss them - such as the many differences in the Lord's Prayer, or the change to the words of God at the Baptism.If all the manuscripts are different, then they MUST have been altered.Which version of the Lord's Prayer do YOU think is original? I have read it.
It's faithful beliefs and apologetics.
Quoting beliefs is not evidence, you aren't in church now.Kap

Show us in any of today's good Bible translations where God's salvation in Christ Jesus has been altered from the manuscripts from which they have been translated?

Who gets to define a good Bible translation, John? You? The Pope? Buzsaw? Archaeologist?

He also has not seen the Samaritan Orthodox Canon. It includes only the first five books as Canonical, none of the books after that are recognized as Canon.

Gday, I did.
I posted numerous examples of CHANGES to the NT.Such as the various CHANGES made to the Lord's Prayer.
Which version of the Lord's Prayer do YOU agree with?
Why?What about the other changes I quoted - will you just ignore them all, like 'archeologist' does?Kap

Gday John 10:10Why did you post a list of different Bible translations?
Did you not notice all those translations are DIFFERENT? These are three DIFFERENT translations that have very DIFFERENT words in them.How can they ALL be "word-for-word" when they have DIFFERENT WORDS in them !?Kapyong
