Do you believe the scriptures are inspired works of the Holy Spirit?
Inspired?.... maybe some of it.... How much?... Who knows.?.
The NTest was written or dictated to scribes by someone...
Could be the ones named but maybe not...
Don’t really matter to me... it’s somebody’s opinion....
Interesting lore to be sure....
I doubt the Holy Spirit dictated it....
Why?... since almost nobody could read anyway....
Does that make it un-useful?.. NO.. it is useful...
Same with the old testament..
You realize in the beginning the Jews forbade anyone writing down scripture..
It was told and memorized verbally..
God is indeed real and able to be contacted by you -OR- “it”(he) is NOT...
The question; Do you know God. personally?.. -or- know about God?.. big difference...
Has always been the question... still is...
Hostility...................................
Some think that questioning their opinion is hostile..
Others think challenging their dogma is hostile.....
Looks like Narcissism to me... even Passive aggressive traits...
Have known many like that... but can deal with it.. piece of cake..
There appears to be a lot of unwarranted surety in the results of a process (ideas -> words -> ideas) that is notoriously unreliable.
