No "god" of the bible would be stupid enough to use text as a form of communication

The God of the Bible is wise to communicate through written text. First, My positive argument: Because God said so. 1. I am a Christian. According to the Bible's definition of a Christian, I am a student (disciple) of Christ. I believe what Christ taught. Since Jesus Christ is truly God, His words have ultimate authority. Colossians 1:16-17 reads "For by him all things were created, In heaven and on earth, Visible and invisible, Whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, And in him all things hold together. " Christ is the Creator of everything, Including every fact in existence. And Jesus believed in the supreme authority of the Bible, And thus so do I. 2. The Bible is self-attesting in its authority. The same Spirit of revelation we experience in nature (Romans 1:18-22), Is experienced more loudly and clearly in the words of the Bible (2 Peter 1:19). 3. "The Bible evidences itself to be God's Word by the heavenliness of its doctrine, The unity of its parts, Its power to convert sinners and to edify saints; but the Spirit of God only, Bearing witness by and with the Scriptures in our hearts, Is able fully to persuade us that the Bible is the Word of God. " - Benjamin Keach (1). I would further add that the Bible's inerrancy further evidences itself. 4. The Bible uses claims for itself to be the very word of God in 2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is breathed out by God". This point is valid and sound, But doesn't offer much explanatory power on its own. I only include this argument because it would be absurd to call something "the Word of God", If it does not claim the same thing for itself. Second, My negative argument:>NOTHING established in scripture. . . 0 updates. . . I don't understand this critique. God spoke clearly and correctly the first time, So there is no need to update. >There"s translations upon translations upon translations upon translations upon copies upon copies upon copies upon copies upon dead languages upon dead languages with absolutely 0% of a chance to trace it back to the original. There are many translations, But I deny the "translations upon translations" narrative. The vast majority of translations are translated directly from the Hebrew, Aramaic, And Greek manuscripts. The Bible is not a telephone game where the next translation depends on the previous translation. "Ad fontes! "For the number of copies, This is true, But it does not help your case. There was one original manuscript, Which was probably copied 100 times. Then the original wore out. Then each of those 100 copies were copied 100 times. And thus you might think of this model more like an evolution tree, As opposed to the telephone game. So when we have 10, 000+ manuscripts, And you can determine family trees, Then going back to the original text is not too terribly difficult. Dan Wallace has a good video describing this process, Which is accepted by both Christians and skeptics (2). Dead languages is irrelevant since we know how to read them. >So absolutely nobody is interpreting correctly. You would have to know the correct interpretation to say "you are interpreting it falsely". Under my worldview, I can say "you are wrong", Because the Bible is clear. >Their quotes/ verses have changed over time. Please give an example. >Who has the right and or know how to change ANY of god"s languageNobody! We are in full agreement here! :)>or to amputate it into ---their--- language? Did they consult god and or jesus to see if this was OK? We have precedent for doing this because the apostles did the same thing. The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, And yet they almost always quote a Greek translation (LXX), And the gift of tongues was given by the Holy Spirit to explain the Scriptures in languages the speaker did not understand. This did not absolutely replace the Hebrew, But it allows for translations to be used in instruction and worship. >Nobody can even prove that this god of the bible exists! I cannot prove that God exists in a similar sense that I cannot prove the laws of logic exist. They are fundamental presuppositions. I can only point out that you suppress the truth. You cannot judge God - He will judge you. - Sources:(1) http://www. Reformedreader. Org/ccc/keachcat. Htm Question 5(2) https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=6lEmch2OAhs
