…through the pens of men.
The Catholic church complied the bible. It was the bishops of the Catholic church, who through prayer, were guided to make sure the the written Word was maintained. The bible as you hold in your hand today was not final for nearly 350 years after the resurrection of Christ.
There is one more very critical point to remember, but let me pose a question:
Have you ever read or heard of the Didache?
to answer your question, No, I don’t know what that is.
to further emphasis my point, let me again copy these verses for the dear readers.
Jeremiah 36 (King James Version)
1And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah,
that this word came unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
**2Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all the words that I have spoken unto thee **against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day.
4Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and
Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken unto him, upon a roll of a book.
This is our example, to teach us how the bible was penned. The scribes, such as paul, such as john such as daniel, such as moses, all recieved revelation FROM GOD, FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.
Read the bible verse that is from the bible that teaches how the bible was written, AND TRUST IN IT dear readers.
I don’t understand the two posters after my initial post, what point are you provin, in all charity my friends, how can you counter a bible teaching with your own understanding as you see it.
Your understanding is flawed, it is human,
my understanding, that which i copied and pasted for you dear readers, is perfect and from the mouth of God. these are not my words, this is not interpreted strangely. this is clear teaching, given for example showing us exactly how the bible was made. And that is from the mouth of God, to the man who scribed the words spoken to Him.
God spoke to Jeremiah,
Jeremiah spoke to Baruch,
Baruch scribed the Word that was spoken to him.
That is the example the bible gives, from generation to generation, it is the same, all revelation comes from God,
[2 Peter 1:20] Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. [21] For the prophecy came not in the old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
again, for you dear readers who can look at this, and then never give it a second thought, instead trusting in what you already know as truth, well then that is not trusting in the word of God and that is not a child of God.
2Peter 1:20;;;from cover to cover, nothing is from the mind of a man. No man out of the recesses of his brain, wrote the word of God. From cover to cover, all revelation, is given by God, to man, who is MOVED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT TO WRITE.
that is plain as day, yet the two posters responding to me deemed it unneccesary to consider these verses that teach biblical truth.
Read Jeremiah 36 all the way through. It is the same then as it was in 95ad on the island of Patmos for the John, the revelation is given from the mouth of God, and the scribe copied what was given to him.
Rest assured, this teaches that all scripture is the word of God, from cover to cover.
God is the alpha and omega, He knows the beginning from the end, the revelation as we have it, meaning the word of God, ie the bible, is ONE CONTINUOUS BOOK.
Look at the original Hebrew and Greek. It is one continuous teaching, no page breaks, no paragrahs, no spaces, no punctuation, no verse numberes, no chapter headings, it is one continuous book.
IE “take thee a roll of a book”
Which book is in question here, it is called the bible, the word of God.
here is the same language:
Exodus 17:14
And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua: for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven.
Exodus 24:7
And he took the book of the covenant, and read in the audience of the people: and they said, All that the LORD hath said will we do, and be obedient.
Deuteronomy 17:18
And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book out of that which is before the priests the Levites:
Isaiah 29:11
And the vision of all is become unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray thee: and he saith, I cannot; for it is sealed:
Daniel 12:4
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Revelation 5:1
And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book[the very same book that Daniel sealed] written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
Revelation 5:2
And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
Revelation 5:5
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the
Revelation 5:9
And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
Revelation 22:10
And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
I know they are wrong, I’ve seen sources before but right now I am looking for one.
thanks for your replies!
