In 2 Timothy 3:16 the Bible declares scripture to be "God breathed". Some of the religious politicians like to change the wording that confuses people so they can teach what they want. Just teach what the Bible declares. That was done awhile back when someone started saying Christians were Christ followers. Just use the words scripture uses and teach that.
"God breathed" is a phrase that only otherwise occurs when referring to God breathing life into Adam. So one could simply argue that God breathes life into the text, regardless of any flaws it contains. Just as God breathes life into us, even though we are flawed.
@@joshuapjung long before most of scripture was written it was read to others with a voice that contains all the elements of voice and not like reading flat. Imagine someone reading music vs it being interpreted and then played. There is a big difference in listening to scripture read well and it being read flat.
If the events described in the Bible didn't happen, you don't retain "meaning". You make the God involved in those events into nothing more than a figment of man's imagination.
“If the events described in [Jesus’ parables] didn’t happen, you don’t retain ‘meaning’. You make the God [and His eternal truths revealed] in those [story] events into nothing more than a figment of [Jesus’] imagination.”
Darby does not teach at Wheaton College. Walton does, and as someone who has been a student in his class I can say that he is a terrific professor and strongly believes Scripture.
They are responding to the nonsense coming out of Wheaton 40 years earlier😮 Read Inerrancy by Norm Geisler and you will see that the two claims Walton mentioned are in fact incoherent! What is the mathematical formula for measuring the circumference of a round square? In the US Census how many married bachelors are there rounded to the nearest 10,000? How does one test the truth value if a book that no longer exists? Since interpretations per se are not inerrant but all theology is based on interpretations then how much theology is inerrant? So what do we have left, names, places, events, conversations. 😅 Do we really want to use the enlightenment to frame how we measure the Bible?😮

Well -- I am glad these two arm wavers have it all figured out.

Theopneustos was always used to mean "life-giving" before the third century. Translating it as "inspired " is a recent choice.

Erin Darby is wrong when she says there's no evidence for the exodus and conquest narrative in Exodus and the book of Joshua
Yep. All these intellectuals are indoctrinated with the lies of the world. Its where they start.
Correct …in fact there are entire book-length treatments on the findings and also documentaries😮
Darby’s pontification in not inerrant. She probably also believes that aliens built the pyramids.
If the events described in the Bible didn't happen, you don't retain "meaning". You make the God involved in those events into nothing more than a figment of man's imagination.
Right!
“If the events described in [Jesus’ parables] didn’t happen, you don’t retain ‘meaning’. You make the God [and His eternal truths revealed] in those [story] events into nothing more than a figment of [Jesus’] imagination.”
She is clear, and right. He beats about the bush.
This woman makes me think that american universities will give a phd to anyone
