They do question them all. They put them through the fire of authenticity. Especially a Group of writings that declare the words came from GOD, and ARE WHO HE IS.
[for lurkers] Jesus is the New Testament AND the OLD Testament in the flesh. JESUS IS GOD. He obeyed every law, He fulfilled every obligation, He is the epitome of God’s laws for us. In doing so He shows us who the Father is in relation to us. We can know God as our FATHER because Jesus showed us that side of Him. Jesus did not show Jesus the avenger of the innocent or the Judge on the throne or the ruler of the world who yields a rod of iron for our own good.
It is who He is and was and will be but He had to obey every iota of the Law so that He could be perfect and sacrificial. Only then could Jesus take our punishment. Only then could we see God in person.
Oh my. Hell is seeing God and not being forgiven. Hell is what happens to people when they don’t accept the gift. They see God for eternity. It is His righteousness that burns. You know how people react to others who are nice and they spit on them because they see themselves in truth? That is what it is. There is no good in them anymore and they can only hate, be jealous, envious, angry, spiteful, murderous, sadistic, selfish, satanic.
The Bible is burning those who are not believers. It is hated. It is mocked. The haters must prove it false because it is the TRUTH and it reveals their true selves. Just like it does believers but while we are healed by it they continue to die.
Sorry, that’s how my mind works.
The real problem with The Bible (and similar religious books) is not what is in the book, it is that each of our minds works differently. Each has different 'knowledge' and each 'thinks' something different than others.
The Bible may be close to perfect, the people who read and interpret it are not. Therein lies the confusion.
