Inspiration of the Words of the Bible

Posted on by

As I listen to a lecture on the errors of Bart Ehrman’s book Misquoting Jesus, a helpful comment was made — and worth keeping in mind. One problem Ehrman raises is this: how can we know what God said in the inspired Word, if we do not have the original manuscripts of the Ot and NT?

The answer: Let us remember that divine inspiration of the words of Scripture is NOT limited to the ink of the words first written. The inspiration was of the words — the terms themselves — not simply the physical first edition. If we have a body of manuscript copies that faithfully contain the original words, (and we do!), we have the inspried Word of God.

Read, believe and obey.

Stimulus cash: smart or shifty?

Many of you may (or may not) know of my economics background. As I consider the cash being sent our way, some questions should arise: is this a good move by our government? Will it do much good? Could it do any harm? I encourage you to think about such questions.

A fine bit of helpful thinking, from David Kotter, can be found HERE at Challies.
