The Bible has error – Jesus does not. The Bible is a fallible vehicle for information. Just like preaching, teaching, and prophesy. When a person preaches the content of God they always contaminate it to varying degrees. Their theology shapes the way they interpret that internal spiritual truth.It is ignorant to believe a man can’t preach perfection under the influence of the Holy Spirit yet he can write that way. Unless the perfect man Jesus was here in his flesh we can’t know the spiritual things perfectly through our flesh. We won’t be able to know or express truth and word perfectly until we receive our glorified bodies and have no conflict with our flesh. Paul disagrees with the common orthodoxy of the Church and their canon; he admits he was unable to do this.
1 Corinthians 13:12
“For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.”
But you don’t have to take my word for it. (queue chime)
PART 3
I believe that the Bible in it's original form was perfect. Man's translation, interpretation, application, and ability to receive it are fallible. Therefore, our current copies lack. And certainly our current teaching and hearing lack.
