Certainly all Scripture in the Bible from Genesis to Revelation is God's word and is authoritative (true and reliable) in it's original manuscripts. But we do not have any original manuscripts.
I don't say it has needed correction by God but there are disputes about the accuracy of the manuscripts we have now. There may be copyists mistakes and certainly there are some differences between the manuscripts we have.
Does that answer your question?
Yes. Thank you.
You do believe that God gave His unerring Word of truth to His prophets and apostles, to write down as His Scripture. But you don't believe that God also ensured His Scriptures were preserved unerringly for future generations.
Therefore, you don't believe the writings we have are as unerring as the original manuscripts, that are gone (for now), and so while the original writings were all Scripture indeed, the writings today are not.
Therefore, you do not believe them as all Scripture and sole authority for Word of God: I.e. Sola Scriptura that was true in the days of the original manuscripts is no longer true for today.
And, since we don't know for sure which modern writings are accurately copied from original manuscripts or not, then man today must make decisions for himself which writings are true Scripture or not.
I am a believer in them as all Scripture as I have them. You are not. I take them all as truth of God and am dutybound as a confessed believer in the God of the Bible, to allow any and all such Scripture to have sole authority over me in salvation, justification, reproof, correction, and perfecting in Christ Jesus.
You do not. You also go to traditions and writings that have no place in the writings of the Bible, as we have them, because you reject all such Bible writings as Scripture of truth.
You reject Sola Scriptura, because you reject the writings
called 'Moses to John' cannot all be the true writings of Moses to John, because you do not believe that God who gave them to Moses an John, also kept them unerringly as from Moses and John for us today.
My God did, and I am convinced by the Bible itself, as I read it, that it is perfectly unerring without any self-contradiction and all true of God.
When I read any writing in the Bible, I am reading Scripture that Moses and John wrote themselves from God, because my God of the Bible has ensured it for my soul's sake.
My faith in my God says He preserved His Word perfectly in the Bible writings and are all Scripture. Your unbelief does not.
You are an unbeliever of the Bible today as the unerring Scripture of God given to us by God, since the days of His prophets and apostles.
You are obviously a very learned. I do respect your plain scholarship. I do not respect your unbelief in the Bible today as all Scripture, and your stated lack of trust in my God to ensure it is indeed all Scripture.
My faith in God and in Jesus Christ today began, when I knew there was a God in heaven, that had to be guiding all those men over those thousands of years to be writing things so perfectly intertwined, so as to have no contradiction between themselves whatsoever. And I have found that all such apparent contradictions are not contradiction at all. And I firmly believe God had His Word written in such a way as to allow anyone without faith in Him, His Word, and His Scriptures as written, to think there is, so that He takes the crafty in their own craftiness.
My proposal to you therefore is to disprove Sola Scriptura by proving contradiction of anything written in the Bible. No manuscript talk, nor even 'going to the Greek'. I read Scripture in English. Show me in such writings of the Bible, plainly written in English, where they cannot be Scripture, because they contradict each other, so that they cannot both be true.
I hope you take me up on this, because I believe you would be a worthy opponent.
Thanks again for you honest answer.
