Divinity of Jesus

Might I ask that we follow the Forum Guidelines in regards for respecting each other? Since this thread is focusing on the historical aspects of Jesus, any scripture used as documentation is open to question and alternative theories of the interpretation of such scripture are not in and of themselves discriminatory.Stick to the texts that you wish to quote, and I want to encourage everyone to respect one another.

We once had a discussion here concerning what philosophical purpose the Bible Study Forum had. Perhaps you can reopen that topic and add your two cents in as to what the purpose of Bible Study should be.To some, the Bible is inerrant and should be respected as the very "word of God." To others, the Bible is entirely a human document formed for human agendas.When Bible Study was originally proposed, I voiced my opinion of its purpose:

quote:

---

Bible Study is for the faith based interpretations (philosophically and theologically) of the text.

​

Accuracy/Innerrancy is the scholars and their attempts at explaining the history of the authors, the identity of the authors, and the secular based questions and academic disciplines surrounding the text.

Perhaps you are right, Jaywill. At any rate, I think personally that this topic should stay here for now, unless anyone else objects. Edited by Phat, : changed identity to AdminPhat
