Is the bible the word of God or men?

Hi all,

quote:

---

The Bible is a book that contains some of the entirety of scripture available to us, that has been handcrafted by the Council of Nicea

---

Trossthree -
the Council of Nicea had nothing to do with choosing the books of the Bible.This is merely a common urban legend.Iasion

Hi all,

Please provide some references for your silly claim.

---

I beg your pardon?
This is a known historical fact.The Council of Nicea did NOT choose the books of the Bible at all.
You linked to a page on the council, but you clearly didn't even READ it at all - go back and read your link - you will find no mention therein of the council deciding the books of the bible.

I would be amused to read some more information on your claim.

---

Why didn't you read the facts in the first place?Why didn't you go and check the facts when I questioned your claim?Have a read of the canons of the Council here:
CHURCH FATHERS: First Council of Nicaea (A.D. 325)Note the contents - the council did not even discuss the books of the Bible at all.Your claim is false.Iasion

It says so "All scripture is God breathed"

Firstly -
no it doesn't, there is no word "is" present in the Greek. The sentence is ambiguous. Have you ever checked the original Greek?Secondly -
this is from a pastoral epistle - a letter FORGED in the name of Paul. Do you think a FORGERY is good proof?Thirdly -
this letter was not scripture itself when it was written. Do you think it refers to ITSELF as scripture?Fourthly -
using the Bible to "prove" the Bible is circular nonsense. Do you think The Lord of The Rings proves The Hobbit true?Iasion

First, learn how to SPELL correctly.
Second, learn how not to be a hypocrite.

I'm pretty sure that a load of made up bull crap, unless you feel like proving it. Paul wrote that?

It is a consensus of modern NT scholarship that the Pastorals are forgeries. It appears you have never studied the facts. Try here for reasons why it is considered a forgery :

Okay, but do we really want to look at evolution it has more holes than what I said

Why are you changing the subject?Anyway - evolution is an observed fact. This appears to be another subject you have never studied.Iasion
