The Bible: Basic Reasoning
The Bible: Basic Reasoning
I engage in some basic reasoning which logically follows from some simple facts about the Bible. I am surprised at the large number of Bible advocates who have not even considered the implication of many simple facts. Follow is a brief list of topics discussed.
King James Version
Comments on the development of the numerous ancient and modern canons called the Bible
Divergent views of Jews at the beginning of the Christian era
The question of the Dead Sea Scrolls
There was not a gap of several centuries, as many have assumed, in Jewish religious writings between what are called the OT and the NT
The New Testament views regarding the after life - heaven, hell, judgment etc. - have their roots, not in the Protestant OT or NT, but rather in Jewish writings available at the beginning of the Christian era some of which can be found in some ancient and modern canons, and some which are not found in any canon.
Footnotes and study Bibles
A caller insisted that baptism is found in the Old Testament
An email asked questions as to why LDS continue to use the KJV
A caller commented on Tyndale’s translation and execution
Response to an email about documents upon which parts of the four Gospels were based
