ASPEN SAYS; The majority of Christians believe the Bible is an inspired document, however, many disagree on which perspective the Bible is written from. So is the Bible written from God's perspective or Human perspective? When you read the Bible is it human's commentary on God or the other way around? I strongly believe the Bible is inspired, but written by human hand and therefore limited by human perspective. Every word in the Bible is supposed to be there, however the meaning can only be captured in broad strokes because it is filtered through human culture and understanding of God's revelation.
Agree or disagree.
BY SPOT ON, I MEAN THAT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ASPEN HAS THE CLEAREST PERSPECTIVE OF THE BIBLE.
Aspen's questions and view of Scripture are designed to allow Aspen to 'spiritualize' or 'mythologize' those things in Scripture that Aspen doesn't like. It's that plain and that simple. Aspen is certainly not alone on this board in forcing Scripture to conform to his/her subjective personal preferences and presuppositions. Aspen's post has already been answered many times over. Scripture answers very clearly. Unfortunately, the Biblical answer has been given short shrift by those who take a low or sub-orthodox view of Scripture. But what do you expect from those who cherry-pick the Bible according to their own likes and dislikes?
2Ti 3:16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,
2Ti 3:17 that the man of God may be competent, equipped for every good work.
Does that sound like Scripture is limited by 'human perspective?'
