The Old Testament Is Not Inspired By God

sixty six different books, which are sub-divided into the Old and New Testament. The division is because the Old is the books that we inherited from the Jewish faith and the New Testament is during the time of and after the Messiah, had come and is only in the Christian Bible. The Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are given by the inspiration of God because, they complement each other, they declare prophecy and fulfillment, and God is revealed through them. The word “inspiration means breathed

HOW DO WE KNOW THE NEW TESTAMENT IS GOD'S WORD? Introduction There is much debate over the accuracy and the inerrancy of Scripture. Pertaining to this debate there exists an underlying question as to whether or not the New Testament is considered part of the canon or for that matter if it is actually given by the inspiration of God. How did the books that are in the New Testament get there? Who decided which books should be added or taken out? Do we have all the books that we should have

The early church had the writing of the Old Testament but did not have a formal set of canonized books regarding the Messiah to draw their inspiration from. Though they had letters from Apostles there were many heretical writings that were circulating throughout the lands that were teaching doctrine different from those who knew Christ personally. Josephus stated that no one had been bold enough to add, take away, or change the wording in the Old Testament scripture (), this was what the Church

Marcus Parker February 1, 2011 CHHI 301-B02 LUO Professor Michael Mitchell The Foundation of Orthodoxy and the Canon God is the Divine Author of a set of books, songs, narratives and letters that were written as a way for man to draw nearer to Him through His loving Son Jesus the Christ. God’s Word is an expression of who God is and who His Son is. J. Scott Duvall and J. Daniel Hays wrote a book called Grasping God’s Word. Within this book, the authors inspire their readers by giving a

Grady 2 Validity of the New Testament through Canonicity In the world of science, before anything is accepted it must be proven that it is valid. In the world that we live in order for someone to believe something you have to have proof. For example, in order for a theory to be accepted in science it has to be tested. When Newton came up with the theory that mass attracts every other mass in the universe and etc, he had to go through different steps to make his theory be considered a theory.

whether a book was inspired by god. They are as follows: Was it written by a prophet of god? Did the writer have credentials from god? Did it tell the truth? Did it evince the power to transform life? Was it accepted or received by the people it was written for? The most important query was whether the writer was a prophet, because propheticity determined canonicity. The prophet of god was the one who voiced what god had revealed. If it was not by a prophet then it was not the word of God. Therefore,

refer more to the New Testament than to the Old Testament, when trying to answer issues about their daily lives. This is becoming a trend because it appears to be logical that the New Testament would be more applicable to our lives than the Old Testament is, since it was written more recently than the Old Testament. Although this is a persistent theme in our culture, this should not be the case because the Old Testament should be held as just as authoritative as the New Testament, if not more so. I

My beliefs about the bible incorporate the written words which were inspired by God through the Holy Spirit to the human scribes as truth. To full understand the bible, one should understand the cultures of the people in the biblical world and their understanding and influences of the world around them. Scriptures are historical, narrative, and are factual. Some of the words transcribed by monks over the centuries may have lost some of the true meaning. The errors one find in the scriptures are

One of the keys to understand the Old Testament that I have learned is to know the genres of the books. The Old Testament is divided into many genres, but these are four major genres which are narrative, poetry, wisdom, and prophecy. By knowing and understanding the genres of each chapter of the book it helps the readers to approach it better, because for an example when we read Psalms we know that it is poetry so we would interpret it as poem and not literally as it says. Furthermore, learning the

"You can 't trust the Bible. I 's full of all kinds of contradictions and errors". This is a very common charge made against the Bible today. You may have heard this kind of thing from a friend or coworker. Maybe you have even heard this kind of things stated on TV, but is it true? Is the Bible an unreliable book full of errors and contradictions? To answer this question let us look at some of the more commonly cited proofs for this assertion. Some, in an attempt to prove the Bible contains contradictions
