      @@sethsuleiman4419I mean, sure we do, there are plenty of times they too have made mistakes in their own understanding and presentation of their subject matter. Like when a professor in my statics class made an error when solving a problem and someone had to point it out. Does his error mean I can't trust him to teach statics? No, it was a mistake, one that the professor acknowledged. Same for all engineering students who become teachers and professors, they are certainly well versed in their subject, but can still easily make mistakes. Does that completely invalidate anything they teach about their subject? No.

      @@sethsuleiman4419 It's the same principle - the writer will do the best of their ability when writing the textbook, and has the benefit of reviewing and proofing what they wrote, but they too are flawed people who can make errors. You can sometimes find errors in the problem sets and answer key they provide. However, I still trust the author of the textbook not on the basis of the author being flawless in their subject, but because they are well-versed in the subject matter. While the books of the bible are certainly a very different subject matter than something like engineering, the authors of each book are well versed in their understanding of God, what he did for them, and God's character. They are not claiming that they themselves are perfect - far from it. But they point to the character of God and recognize that he is moral standard, and made a record of what God did and who he is. It is not because we need the author to be perfect and flawless that we can trust the books in the bible, but rather because they are record keepers who knew God and are explaining his nature and deeds through the books they wrote.

      Ezekiel 29:12: And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
      Ezekiel 29:19: Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
      Mark chapter 13 has Jesus prophesy his return on clouds of glory within the lifetimes of some to whom he spoke:

      It takes the whole story to understand not a "gotcha" moment from a piece of the story. It started with one sin that lead to another etc...From II Samuel 11
      He'd committed the sin if lusting after another mans wife first. Then he acted on that sin and committed adultery with Bathsheba. Then he tried to cover those sins by commanding Uriah to go home to be with Bathsheeba becauswe she had become pregnant. When Uriah refused to stay on the battefront with his men THEN David committed the last in THIS particular line of sin by having him killed in battle.
      The result was the birth of Solomon who eventually became the next King of Israel and was dubbed the wisest man that ever lived. I Kings 4:29-34 But even he had his own sin that lead him astray. Eventually Jesus is born from this bloodline.
      I hope and pray what you take from this is how Satan works but how God also can turn around what was meant for evil for His good. Even what can be learned about abortion here. Look what came from an unwanted pregnancy.

Taking the language of the Bible, as I do, to be mythical, it nevertheless shows, as language is always sure to do, in any age or country, the true standard of the then ruling morality. And I may safely assert that, as a rule, the greater the amount of religion, or which is the same thing - ignorance, the lower the standard of morality; and vice versa. the greater the amount of intelligence, the less there will be of religion, and the standard of morality will range higher. To many this may seem odd, but it is true, as all history will prove. The instances which may he adduced in proof of the truth of this proposition are very many. One example shall suffice here. This happened toward the end of the fifteenth century, near the close of the "dark ages," when the Christian religion was in the height of its power, and brooked no opposition.

Draper, "there was not a class, married or unmarried, clergy or laity, from the holy father Leo X to the beggar by the way-side, free from it. It swept over Europe. Its march was equable, unbroken, universal, making good its ground from its point of appearance in the southwest, steadily and swiftly taking possession of the entire continent, and offering an open manifestation and measure of the secret wickedness of society." (Draper, History Intellectual Development of Europe, p. 496.)

    This issue of God using imperfect people who are nevertheless deemed by Him to be usable enough for Him to be able to get things done well enough for His purposes is also a reason why the inspiration of the Bible has not resulted in the inerrancy of the Bible. The church is still struggling with getting our heads around this, but we need to from an apologetics perspective.

    The Light of Christ’s Gospel
    4 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we do not lose heart. 2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor [a]handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God. 3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, 4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake. 6 For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

    Revelation states that everyone dies and are before his throne in heaven. It seems to me, people, Christians specifically, are the problem. "for man, it is impossible to enter the kingdom of heaven".
    The final battle at Armageddon is between believers (wolves in sheep's clothing) against God. The Churches are building their army of ravenous wolves to war against God. But as hard as they may try to convert unbelievers into Christian wolves, they will fail, because, thankfully, Jesus, the Son, was already victorious. Therefore, He can change the outcome of the warning and shorten those days, so that not all flesh is destroyed. The bad news in doing this, is that anyone who still rejects the Truth at that time, will be cast immediately into the eternal fire, spiritually.

    God is changing sinners to saints, this is on going work of the Holy Spirit in a sinner's heart and mind.
    Praise the Lord for His love for us who do not deserve for His love.
    This love of our Creator and Father
    made me a miserable sinner a saint, still working in me as I received love from Him, He made me (and many others around the world) able to love others and bless them instead hate as I did in my sinful life.
    Being born again from Spirit and water (baptism by immersing fully in water is a symbol of death in sinful life), going out water believer start new life in likeness of Jesus Christ the Lord receiving the Holy Spirit to guide in every day life to know God and obey our Saviour: the Son of God and God the mediator between Holy God and us sinners who receive reconsiliation with our Holy Father in heaven.
    He the Holy ONE, made me (sinner) able to teach others of His words for people salvation.
    I would never immagine how God changed me into saint.
    Halleluja!
    We need to remember we have to humble before Him to receive reconsiliation, to receive forgiveness of sins and His Spiritual gifts 1 Corintians 12 ch.
    Stsy blessed and study continuely the Bible. Amen

    ALL books are written by sinners! People spend thousands to go to college to become lawyers or doctors, yet their education is based on books written by imperfect, sinful humans. Yet, no one ever complains that the information found in textbooks or workbooks is accurate or could contain errors!

    The Creator god did not write the Bible. Why do you people even read it. Live your life and be happy. And go by the Laws of the land.

    He seems a little self righteous....bro has not had a fall or a grave lack of judgement. We are all sinners and fall short.....just live a little you will. But Jesus came not for the righteous..but the unrighteous.

      Speak for yourself my friend. Your life may be in disarray, but mine is perfect. Maybe you should see a specialist that can help you overcome your "sin". Good luck my friend.

      @t-bonewtf every word we speak we sin.
      Every action we take we sin.
      Christ was the ONLY being who ever walked on this earth who remained completely spotless before our father.
      No my friend, like it or not you're still a sinner.

      @mattr.1887 even the ones done with the most noble of intentions...
      "The road to hell is paved with good intentions."
      Hence again Why Christ is the ONLY one to be considered blameless and without fault that has walked this earth.
      Repentance isn't just a 1 time deal.
      Death bed repentance also doesn't really work now does it? Otherwise I can keep committing whoredoms until I am on death row, say I believe in christ face the death penalty and yet seemingly be saved.
      It's an ongoing and never ending process to perfection throughout your mortal existence.

    "The only perfect person in the history of the world is Jesus." If that's true then why did Jesus tell his disciples to steal a donkey if "Thou shalt not steal"? Also, why did Jesus curse and destroy a fig tree when he knew it was not the season for figs? Seems like a "perfect person" would know better.
