on Scripture
So over the last week or so I should have been reading and writing for my seminary classes, but, instead, have had nothing but the importance and truth of the inspiration, validity, and necessity of Scripture. I have a great friend who is struggling and rolling over in his mind whether or not the Bible is in fact the Truth of God handed down by His Holy Spirit to the minds of ordinary men over the course of a few thousand years and penned by them in complete inerrancy and held constant by His Divine Will over the course of time. I wish I had the time to deal with this as thoroughly as I would like (as this is a significantly important doctrine to believe and sustain). However, I have, instead, been forced to throw out a line here or there as I have had time to offer. I am sufficiently concerned and troubled by the entire discussion as I am not able to offer my best reasoning and argumentation to defend the Truth of Scripture but can only hope that the Spirit of God will illumine my mind, his, or both in due time. My main concern is that I have not in any distinguishable way adulterated the Truth or misrepresented the Triune God in any way.

In support of your position,
"The wild thing is, so much of what is real lies beyond the realm of our senses. In fact, all the things that matter most - love, justice, peace, truth, and so on - are known only by the ripples they create in the world; they can't be either proven or discovered solely through the sense."
-Steven James
i love you, which is probably a sin unto itself. i wish i'd been reading this. i miss the good old days before facebook when blogs were the way to keep up with each other. and i absolutely cannot wait to get back up there and hang out with you guys. you should get prayed up for thr trip and you and chris should probably do a prayer walk around the apartment for my stay. i'm actually writing a paper on the doctrin of the word right now. but that doesn't mean i have a clue. i have trouble believing anything, so obviously this too. i've got a lot of good books, if you want to borrow any. they kinda fell to the side during the i wonder if there is a God stage.
