Who is really in charge of inspiration?

This was addressed in Nicea in three hundreds. The Holy Roman Catholic church canonized the books that would be included in the bible and settle questions on various topics concerning the tenants of the faith. In other words started calling the shots.Since there is no way to know whether the text is from a divine god, the church began the tradition of in the 1800 during The first Vatican council known as Papal infallibility, which concluded that when the Pope speaks "from the chair" His words are guided by the holy ghost and infallible. I know, I know the next question would be. " how do we know that that is truly the Holy ghost and not some demon?" The answer is simple.
Rule number 1. The pope guided by the Holy Ghost is in charge of inspiration.
Rule number 2. If one doubt that is in charge of inspiration see rule number one.Edited by 1.61803, : spellingEdited by 1.61803, : No reason given.

Hi Phat, I agree with what you say. But it in no ways satisfies the OP question of how one can be certain the inspiration is truly from a benevolent God and not a demon etc... The bible was cannonized during the council of Nicea in the 300's. The Catholic church could not have the laity going believing, teaching and practicing what ever they wanted. Why? control of course. But I digress, the question of how one truly knows the text is truly divine was emphatically addressed and answered by the Catholic Church. The Church also went on to burn and destroy any text or churches that did not concur during the inquisitions. And to that end once and for all decreed anyone not onboard a heretic.

Yes. It is imperative for the institution or church to validate the things they are saying are inspired from God. This is a bible study forum. It is assumed people are deriving they're information from historical church doctrines and biblical sources. And of course those sources are the very thing in question. No?In other words there is no way to know which is why it is taken on faith.

Hello Nij, Oh the first on to jump into your head, sort of inspired? Sure but when you get down to the nitty gritty many premises boil down to a argument to authority.I bet you on a daily bases believe things without evidence.
Every time you read the paper or watch TV or just about any assimilation of facts. Do you personally verify all sources?
Why do you believe the things you do? Because you have intellect and an empirical nature does not mean your information may not be flawed.We all operate on the notion of belief. Some people seem content to live their lives under less stringent criteria. Some folks accept things based of their traditions, customs and yes religion. If you’re convinced they have it wrong to believe in mythology so what. Good thing you brought this thread up, your unflinching devotion to guide the unwashed ignorant masses is to be commended.
Your opinion is duly noted. But for now, some people less intelligent and enlightened than you, will let their faith continue to serve them well if you do not mind.
