Hi Folks,

Similarly, we all know that the Bible nowhere says "The Bible is 66 books". How do we know this is true ? Christians are to be men and women of faith and discernment.

Hebrews 11:6
But without faith it is impossible to please him:
for he that cometh to God must believe that he is,
and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

What really amazes me is the yeoman efforts of our friend to try to prove a type of unbelief.

"I don't believe God's word is perfect. Why ? Well ... I start with a dubious A which might mean B which sort of implies C which combined with D develops the possibility that E confronts F ... "


Result -

"I can now believe there is no such thing as the pure and perfect word of God. It is all now justified in my own little mind. I can sleep semi-comfortably having convinced myself that God's word will never be pure, in my hands, Final Authority."

Oh, if only those efforts would be used to seek and embrace and declare and defend the pure and perfect word of God. Even if our friend was still unsure of its identity, he could fight to seek and acknowledge and find and declare. He might only receive today the "TR" yet it would still be such a spiritual advance. It is interesting to see how much effort can be placed behind a conceptual disaster of unfaith.

Shalom,
Steven Avery
