And I've explained to you over and over that the principles of God's salvation that are in Christ Jesus that are in today's Bibles have not changed since they were witten many hundreds of years ago.
They work today just like they worked then, for those God is calling to Himself. Peace

quote:Yes, you need the Holy Spirit to lead you to the foot of the cross where salvation is found in the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, you need the Holy Spirit to lead you in paths of righteousness in Christ Jesus after you find God's salvation. It's as simple and as difficuly as that! Peace

quote:(1) We need the Bible to reveal God's plan of salvation for man in our Lord Jesus Christ. (2) We need the Spirit who draws sinner man to God's salvation. (3) We need the Spirit of the Lord to lead us in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Why do we need both the Bible source and inside help? Because God designed His salvation plan that way!

quote:Twist & shout your words all you will, and they are still your words, not mine! The Bible is authorative and inspired for those God is drawing to Himself. You may not want there to be God of the Bible who speaks to His children from the pages of the Bible by the gift of His Spirit, but "God designed His salvation plan that way!" Peace

quote:Now you are getting close to understanding the truth of the God of the Bible (see John 6:44). The question that remains for you is this: Are you willing to be a John 3:16 "whosoever will" or a "whosoever won't"?

Bart Ehrman never found true faith in our Lord Jesus Christ through the gift of His Spirit, relying instead on intellectual beliefs that had no substance. Instead of pressing on into the reality of God who rewards those who dilligently seek Him (Heb 11:6), Bart turned back to unbelief. Bart never found the Lord who does this:

I've read enough of Ehrman's writings and testimony to know that he never found the Lord of Acts 2, forever stuck in trying to accept and understand the veracity of the Gospels. His wife accepts his unbelief, while she enjoys the substance of her faith in our Lord. Sad story!

The Acts 2 experience that has been happening to Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ for the last 2000 years confirms that the Bible is authoritive and truly inspired, confirming all the Bible prophesies which led up to Acts 2.
Yes, "it is about the book and what is/was written." Either what has been happening to Believers for 2000 years confirms the truth of what was written then, or it doesn't. Billions of Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ that have entered into the Acts 2 experience know the Bible is authoritive and truly inspired. Billions of unbelievers say it doesn't. Maybe will just have to leave it at that. Peace Edited by John 10:10, : No reason given.

quote:Just where do you think authority and inspiration come from? You must think it comes from man, and not from something higher than man. Yes, understanding the reality of the Bible can help people make an informed choice. But when you start out by saying/believing that it doesn't matter if what the authors wrote is true or not, how can you or anyone else possibly make an informed choice. Either what the authors wrote in the Bible still happens to those whom God is calling to Himself, or it doesn't. Either God saves sinners, or He doesn't. That is the true reality that can help people make an informed choice, not by spending endless hours in textual criticisms.
