I recently read an artical that claimed 1 Timothy, Titus, and a portion of 1 Corinthians were forged after Paul's death, and theirfore, not autherd by God guiding Paul. They may have claimed it; but, they can't prove it. In order to prove that something was forged you'd have to know what else the forger wrote and be able to compare that with the above books. They don't have that kind of information.

When the critics have been proven to be so wrong, on so many points, and some are quite simple, why should we listen to them on anything?

Hi, David. The fiasco with the Ten Commandments shows that the Creator cannot be identified as the author of the Bible. He has inspired it but the Bible is definitely the product of human effort.

It is widely believed but there is not basis for the belief that the Bible is the written version of Jesus Christ. A written version of Jesus Christ was never necessary because the living Word is eternal. Jesus is eternal, yes. But, man doesn't live on that plane so God chose to speak to man through His prophets, etc.. They wrote down what God inspired them to write. Jesus promised that after He left He would send the comforter who would bring to mind what He had taught them and waht was written beforehand. Romans 15:4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Right on David!
This is basically what the 2nd Quarter of our Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guide was all about.
Christ affirmed the inspiration and truth of the Scriptures. I don't see where He questioned this even once.

Daryl, I don't think you have a full grasp of why Jesus came to earth. He did not come here to validate the Scriptures.

He came here to fulfill them, which is the same thing as validating them.
Matthew 26:56 But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.

I guess the Great Controversy is all about the validity of the Scriptures. OK.

In a sense it really is for the fact that the Plan of Salvation and the battle against good and evil are both revealed in the Scriptures.

Are you suggesting that the Scriptures are the basis for the Plan of Salvation? I don't understand.

I didn't suggest that the Scriptures are the basis for the Plan of Salvation, however, the Scriptures reveal the Plan of Salvation, as well as reveal the Great Controversy going on between Christ and the devil, between good and evil.
