Autographs and manuscripts may not have to do with the title being the "word of God," but it does have something to do with his question regarding inspiration and infallibility.

Read the question I was asked and maybe then you could refrain from being purposefully divisive. He asked, "... IF you view ALL scripture as equally inspired/infallible..."

I have affirmed my belief in the inspiration of scripture a number of times in reply to you JF, so I'm not sure what you are REALLY wanting. People hold to different definitions of those terms and vary regarding current manuscripts versus original autographs, so even that question is more...

This has to be one of the most blatantly false and misrepresentative posts I've read on the BB. Aaron, you really ought to be ashamed of yourself. I know you cannot be so daft as to actually believe that any of us have ever said that we can "save ourselves." Thus, I'm left with no other...

Actually it was moved to the Moderator's only forum by Dr. Bob because of all the reports from your personal attack. Here are my quotes from that thread. Please point out the one where I said that scripture is not "Authoritative." So, God uttered the words, "If you are the Son of God, tell...

:BangHead: No, you showed that John preached the word of God, something we both confirm. You know what, never mind. Call the bible whatever you want, it's fine. This is not worth it.

Show me where I made the claim that the scriptures weren't authoritative. A better question might be, "Which portions of the words you put into my mouth aren't really what I've said?"

See, his post above is case in point of what I just told you. Instead of dealing with my view, he pretends as if I've changed it, but the only thing that has changed is his representation of my views. He gets confused as to which words I actually said and which ones he put in my mouth.

Winman, I appreciate your trying to explain it to him, but I think it is quite evident he doesn't want to understand our point of view. He want's to criticize it, demean it, and undermine it by whatever means possible which necessitates that he takes something very simple and try to make it...

Aaron, you interpret me about like you do the scriptures...by reading into it whatever you want it to say. :laugh: You are entertaining. I'll give you that.

Well said. :thumbs: No one is "deserving," however God in his mercy extends the gospel anyway because He is Love and he desires all to come to repentance and to be saved.

You think being a non-Calvinist, someone who denies regeneration precedes faith, makes me trapped? By what? Calvinism's unfounded and unproven premise. Fine by me. :) If left on his own, you're right. But it is our contention, just like it is yours, that the Holy Spirit doesn't leave us...

:thumbs: He has a tendency of not allowing other's words speak for themselves. :tear:

No. I don't even think they should be a posting member in the Baptist section if they deny this. Why, who denied it?

You wrote: "Sounds good until one reads the Scriptures Skan. John the Apostle was imprisoned for preaching "The Word of God" (Revelation 1:9) which was the Scriptures. That means that Paul, Peter, all the Apostles were preaching the Word of God, or the Scriptures, so no, it doesn't undermine...

I think God would out rank the scriptures which is why we see Christ saying things like "you've heard it say...but I say to you." He was an authority in bringing correct understanding of the scriptures. But, again, I'm not in anyway attempting to lesson the authority of scripture. I'm just...

Let me be clear. NO ONE can be saved apart from the atoning work of Christ. However, it is clear from scripture that God has mercy on people of the OT and credited them as righteous because they believed God. They responded in faith to the revelation they had received. I believe God...

I understand, but I really doubt the author's of the scripture would ever want us to value the scriptures as much as we do the Lord of the scriptures. But, I understand you want to place a high value on scripture and that I can respect. We may just have to agree to disagree as to how high...

Now I understand what you were saying. Please allow me to explain. I wasn't meaning to indicate you did worship scripture (as I explained in more detail to P4T above). I was indicating that you don't worship scripture (no one should), thus proving that Christ is of greater value because you...

Actually, it's because we affirm that the Gospel IS A WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, that supports our view that the Gospel can be understood and believed by someone not yet regenerated. When Paul said that spiritual matters must be discerned or made clear to us by the Spirit you all assume that he...
