Christians: I submit that the author/s of -1 Corinthians 2:12-13; and 2 Timothy 3:16-17 did not necessarily?

Question

mean that the writing of the "bible" was God-inspired but that the two books were? At the time of the writing of these two books, the bible had not been canonised. In fact the church created the bible as a collective of books suppossedly written by God-inspired authors. What's your views?

Answer 1

I am not sure what you are referring to in the Corinthians passage but both of these are written by Paul. If you read vs. 15 in 2 Tim. you will see that Paul is referring to the OT. He states that ALL Scripture is given by inspiration. This is the same claim that Peter makes in his writings. The OT was considered inspired by the writers of the NT. The writers of the NT claim inspiration themselves, Peter even making mention of Paul's writings. It is true that all the NT were not canonized at this time but it is common knowledge that many of the writings of Paul, Peter, James, and the Gospels, did receive great circulation before the Bible was officially recognized by the church.

Answer 2

I have never seen so much detail in the Bible than in the area of judgment. Yet it is this very subject where so many people, Christians included, get it so wrong. Here are just a few basic principles. A Christian is never to ex-communicate or condemn - Matthew 7:1 A Christian is not to judge a non-Christian - 1 Corinthians 5:13 A Christian IS suppose to judge someone claiming to be a believer - 1 Corinthians 5:12 A non-believer's judgment carries no weight with God - 1 Corinthians 2:15 The Christian is judged daily right now, the non-believer later - 1 Peter 4:17 Since the believer's old nature is dead and is born again in Christ, the end judgment will no longer apply. - John 5:24

Answer 3

Paul wrote those books. I don't like him. I think that there was something wrong with him, and he lashed out.
