The Bible is a collection of books by individuals and some of the information is contradictory. The Bible was written by several penmen, but it has just one Author. "All scripture is inspired by God" (2 Tim. 3:16). When you say that the Bible contradicts itself, you are saying that God contradicts Himself.

Rosangela, you are rewriting the text to say, "Only Scripture is inspired by God." This is not what the text says. Even Paul admitted that he only saw through a glass darkly. He understood that his understanding of the truth was limited and possibly at times wrong. Why do we refuse to accept the facts?

Darius,
Who is the authority that determines what is right and what is wrong in the Bible?

Rosangela, the same authority who determines what is right and what is wrong everywhere else. I don't get the point you are driving at.

The authority that determines what is right and what is wrong in the Bible must be superior to the Bible. Who or what is that authority?

That authority is the Creator of the universe and the Bible agrees that the best way to get to know the hidden things about the Creator is to study the things that He made. This is one area in which Christians don't really seem to care for what the Bible has to say.

Some Christians may not be aware of that Darius. I am referring to post#90447. The Bible mentions the things God has created, we see those things and can maybe get an idea of the wondrous works of God, the design of what He made, and an idea of what He is like for lack of a better term. God Bless, Will

Will, they would if they paid more attention to what the Bible teaches than to the doctrinal positions they can find support for in the text. David practically shouts when he says, "The heavens declare the glory of God." That should be enough. Then Paul turns around and solidifies the position in Rom. 1:20 when he says that the hidden things of the Creator are revealed in the things that he made. But, Christians have a hard time admitting that scientists have revealed more about the nature and characteristics of our Creator than have all our illustrious theologians and professional Christians. You have no idea in what disregard I am held.

Darius, I find what you just posted to be the truth. I believe that we can learn from each other regardless of what we believe, especially when considering that a majority, the popular majority of scientists do not believe in God. Job does a good job at recording some of the things that God has revealed about creation and who made it, and how. Would it be safe to say that this is the bread and butter of your position? Regardless of any "extras" we all look into, but would that be the core of it? If it is then I do not know why you would be held in such disregard, I mean I find it perplexing. Any thoughts? God Bless, Will

That authority is the Creator of the universe What? Did the Creator say that His Word has errors and that it contradicts itself? Where does He say this? As far as I know, what He says is, "The Scripture cannot be broken" (John 10:35), meaning it cannot be made null and void; whatever that says is true, there is no contradicting it, or objecting to it.
