So? What proof do you offer that these documents contain the word of God?
So you think that only the mormons get burning breasts? *grin*
I'm repeatedly told, by others at this site, that the "burning in the breast" schtick is a perniciously Mormon sign-seeking activity, and that no decent Christian would dare presume to have God answer a prayer in such a way.
Cubic no one lost the original writings of the Bible because they were protected by God.
Then quote me the source, chapter and verse, of Matthew's cited prophecy about the Messiah being a Nazarene.
Jesus should know what is inspired writings.He quoted every book in the Protestant OT canon.
Interesting that the Book of Jude, which you claim is inspired, also quotes from something not found in the Old Testament. What's Jude referencing?
I will say to you what I often say to the Arminians. You have a weak god..he could not protect his word..he could not repeat the lost material without error to Joseph (did he forget what he had said)
God doesn't perform magic tricks by magically restoring lost scriptures or by retranslating or rewording poorly worded or translated sections of scripture when nobody's looking. Of course, we believe that He sends angels to do such things, but you guys don't seem to want to buy into that.
Where's the missing Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 5:9)? The missing Epistle to the Ephesians (Eph. 3:3)? The missing Epistle to the Colossians, written from Laodicea (Col. 4:16)? How about the missing Epistle of Jude (Jude 3)? The missing declaration of belief mentioned by Luke (1:1)?
I find it interesting you trust the works of a oft mistaken prophet...and build your faith on that..and you question the ability of God to guide a council of men...
I question the ability of God to guide a council of apostate men. God, being the good libertarian that He is, doesn't coerce people to do stuff that they're determined to do in ways that are not in accordance with His will.
Most Born again Christians will tell you that they had an intense spiritual experience at the time of their salvation..

Cubic ..Jude does speak from tradition ..so? Obviously if the source of his quote was inspired the entire document would have been included..but God had what He wanted known in the bible through Jude. I think it speaks to the accuracy of the word that the original source is not in there..
