Re: Did Paul intend for his writings to be Holy Wr
Is truth still truth even if it comes from a philosopher?

Truth is truth. All truth is God's.

There are absolute truths Daniel, and all of them are of God. God cannot lie.

Re: Did Paul intend for his writings to be Holy Wr
i dont think even the apostle paul was arrogant enough to think his thoughts were scripture quality but god breathed through him because he foresaw our need for principles and scriptural word to follow, in the canonization process god influenced the right people that were involved and invoked his will on the the putting together of the bible, so god did it, without needing pauls intentions, dt

Re: Did Paul intend for his writings to be Holy Wr
Its odd that Bro. Dan would start this thread. I have just begun reading (for the first time) "The Lost Books of the Bible". It contains "The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Laodiceans"

I was reading parts of this book, Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell and he mentions that truth is always truth no matter who it comes from. Many times growing up in our particular religion we are taught that we have the truth and then when we find out we aren't the only ones that have truth we can reject what we have been taught.

Okay ... do you think Paul introduced "new commandments" that were not aligned w/ Scripture as we know it/he knew it ?...
For example ... there is no prohibition of jewelry in the Old Testament ... furthermore it is celebrated by God in dressing Israel metaphorically ... Patriarchs used it ... the Jewish people use it until this day... Jesus speaks of it as a reward in one of his parables ....
Yet, modern-day truth bearers ....when formulating doctrine .... use prooftexts from two of his letters to teach that God is against jewelry.

it is my opinion that the apostle paul wrote the epistles under the influence of the holy ghost, god himself knowing that they would become part of the bible, his word and our only hope bro dan, hey how you doing with your friend, bro, dt
