The point is that as much as they would like to claim inerrancy and infallibility, there has NEVER been one universal Canon, and it is unlikely that there ever will be such a critter.

The best they can do is shout "Mine, Mine, Mine" and stick their fingers in their ears to drown out the voices from all the others that have the Absolute Truth® who, like them are shouting "Mine, Mine, Mine".

Yea. Like, if the Bible were really true everybody would agree
about everything in it, like everyone agrees about everything else.

Re: Redaction and all that

Cheery chat between truth seeker and skeptic

Skeptic: I have been searching Internet for 10 years and see no difference between the Bible's stories and those about the Tooth Fairy.

Truth Seeker: How many debates have you had about the Tooth Fairy?

Skeptic: None.

Truth Seeker: How many debates have you had on the Bible?

Skeptic: About 800!

Truth Seeker: But there just the same?

Skeptic: That's right.

Truth Seeker: Well let me tell you about my exper ....

Moderator: OFF TOPIC!

Re: Redaction and all that

What makes you think there's any difference between a skeptic and a truth seeker?

A skeptic of course can be a seeker of the truth too.

Re: Fundies believe in No Christ but My Christ

So many divinely-inspired Bibles, which one to choose....?

If the Bible causes you to love Christ more, to depend upon and live unto Christ more, don't worry about it. It is safe. It is adaquate for you. God will cover the rest.

If it distracts you from Christ rather than attracts you to Christ, then you can pray to ask God to lead you to a better Bible.

Whatever Bible brings you deeper into Jesus is Okay. God will cover the rest. Don't worry about it.

Just be sure that when you come to the Bible, any Bible, at the same time you are coming to God in your heart. Even if you have the genuine autograph of the Bible and you come with your heart closed to God it will do you no good.

Some people come to the Bible blind. And when they go away from it they are more blind. Their problem is not with the Bible translation. It is with the closedness of thier heart and the unwillingness to be touched within by the Holy Spirit.

Don't be like that.
