So, you say you want intellectual debate with Christians? Let's go a round.😄

My mission is call the church to repentance and reform. Most churches are far more under the control of systematic theologies and creeds than focused on scripture.

Shall we see which, if any, of my assertions in this article you agree with?🙏🫂😆😁❓

I agree with all of your assertions. However, I don't believe that the Bible is the Word of God or that it is infallible. In this article you said: 'The bible describes itself as being alive.'

According to John 1, Jesus is the Word of God. The Bible never claims to be the Word of God and it would make more sense to interpret Hebrews 4:12 as referring to Jesus, as the Bible is neither living nor active, and it lacks the ability to judge the thoughts and attitudes of the heart, in contrast to Jesus

who embodies all of these qualities.

The Bible does claim to be "God breathed", so it is straight from God and He is able to keep his words true, clear, and accurate.

Hey, nostr:npub1w695k9y6pv0fa5fz4xsljpnk4w5zk83xcmm92zt4dhzdtfl7waqsdz4wwu,

Glad as I am that you agree with my assertions, I'm doubly puzzled by your position.

The bible is *filled* with self-referential claims that it is the very words of God. Jesus himself repeatedly points out that the scriptures testify of and point to him. God's words (plural) are forever established in heaven. And so I struggle to understand how you can assert that "The Bible never claims to be the Word of God..."

I also am at a loss to comprehend your epistemology. If you don't believe the bible to be either God's word or infallible, what is your basis for knowledge of any kind? I'm honestly wondering. Are you purely a naturalist?

By the way, I'm very appreciative that you've read my article(s) (plural) and are interacting, but I wonder about the basis upon which you can be in agreement with me.
