Ok, I also enjoyed your material. And I also have a youth class and would like to share with them. I was very interested in your comments on who authored the Bible. I am a Sunday School Superintendent and Bible teacher. I like your format and, with your permission, start having my teachers use this material for the teen class.
Cannot wait or you take on the unknown authors. This was such a great read and I love your style of writing. It was easy, informative, entertaining, and funny! Thank you! I have been studying the scriptures for a very very long time, but sometimes you can become lazy and just want a small recipe of writers this article was awesome. I really appreciated it. I agree with you about what you said about King David he was a jerk.
I applaud your admitting right off that you do not know the author of Hebrews—lack of knowledge is not a sin. It is an unknown kettle of fish. Glad you enjoyed it Dinah! Thank you so much! Your overview of the authors of the Bible is incredibly helpful. You summarize this all so brilliantly. Thanks again! In the first line you answered my argument. Maybe HE inspired the words to be put down. I am 60 years old now, and oncertainly I was told as a little girl. There are going to be a lot of questions ask, and a lot of people want know.
People will make up answers to suit themselves. Because GOD will tell us himself if we really want to know. Some traditions suppose Job to have been written by Moses and Hebrews to be written by Paul or Timothy. So how can we accurately say that all of these men were led by God?
Also how can we say that the people that translated the bible did not put what they want in there? This is amazing. Thank you for doing all of this to help us understand the bible and who the Holy Spirit touched. Great job! This is not accurate according to modern Biblical scholarship.
Moses did not write the first 5 books, although tradition says he did. Modern scholars know that several different writers at various times wrote pieces of those books and it was put together sometime in the years before Jesus.
But basically its a gross oversimplification of how our Holy Book was written. Actually he did Sarah, in spite of what liberal scholars say. Jesus even gave credit to Moses; and the Pentateuch was referenced during the times of the Kings and Prophets. This was well before years before Christ. Paul and Peter also both emphasized the inspiration of Scripture.
Many people need it to be simplified to help them learn slowly, too much too soon can turn people off. It encourages them to want to learn more. In my bible, Ezekiel eats a grain cake baked over human excrement, not the poop itself. I think I like my version better Good catch: the way I worded it made it sound like the cakes were made with the feces cooked in.
I have never defiled myself. From my youth until now I have never eaten anything found dead or torn by wild animals. No impure meat has ever entered my mouth. Thank God for his mercy! There really were around 40 authors of the Bible, but the Bible and tradition only call out around 35 by name. I do not know who wrote Hebrews.
