Actually, He engraved on tables of stone:
quote:
Exo 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.
And when Moses broke the originals, God Himself wrote the replacements:
quote:
Exo 34:1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon these tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.
It's pretty clear that God makest a distinction between "written by" and "inspired by" even if fundies don't.
Edited by ringo, : "Changed "makes" to "makest" because it's funnier.

As the message has been shown to be reliable in the area it does add credibility to whatever else Jesus says.
A good example of that would be the Internet. Since it is reliable in some areas, it must be credible in other areas too.
Or not?

Not so much eh.
Yes, that's my point. Reliability of the message doesn't imply credibility of the source.
