Why Are Scriptures Wrong

Decent Essays
Scriptures is the actual conversations and experiences that talks about Christianity. A part of the scriptures contains Faith and Belief. Scriptures are in both testaments that Christians often turn to for guidance. The people who wrote these scriptures into the bible had faith and belief to be able to write these. It took a very long time to write the Bible and the people that wrote it have faith themselves that it would get done. As we talked about in class, scriptures comes back to authority. Who had the authority if what scriptures should go in the bible and vice versa. Could the faith and belief when writing these scriptures be wrong? Nobody’s faith and belief is the same. Everyone has their own opinion of how they obtain their faith.

    Now more than ever, the world is more closely connected through the nearly-instantaneous exchange of ideas and information. This exchange of ideas means that collaboration for the advancement of knowledge on a particular subject is possible and facilitates advancements in that field. On the other hand, having access to the abundance of contrasting ideas also means that people have more to think about and more they can argue about. One of said arguments is whether the Bible is really trustworthy. There are too many different beliefs about the Bible to list them all, but some of the main ones are that the Bible is the word of God and true and trustworthy, the Bible is just a book written by man and, therefore, vulnerable to the weaknesses of any human-written work and fallible, or that the Bible is mostly true but has some inaccuracies, thus casting doubt as to whether it is inspired by God.…

    Bible Contradictions

    Although many people believe the bible is corrupted and full of contradictions, to Christians the “contradictions” are different ways of describing the same object. The bible is a very reliable source and once the verses are broken down and looked further into the “contradictions” will not seem so contradictory anymore. The first contradiction comes from the verses of Mark 14:30 and Matthew 26:34. The problem is how many times did the rooster crow and what did Jesus really say? The answer to this is that, both books do not state how many times the rooster but state that Peter will deny the Lord three times.…

There are several different theories as to how the Bible was inspired, such as the dynamic and verbal theories. According to Millard J. Erickson in his book, “Introducing Christian Doctrine”, the dynamic theory “emphasizes the combination of divine and human elements in the process of inspiration and of the writing of the Bible”, while the verbal theory “insists that the Holy Spirit’s influence extends beyond the direction of thoughts to the selection of words used to convey the message.” Of the many theories, these two are the ones that make the most sense to me, and I have had a hard time deciding between the two, but after further…
