I’m asking you to defend your proposition.
#ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS OF THE BIBLE FREE#
but it is you who have stated that when God inspires it removes a person’s free will. Matt: I don’t know what meant did that God uses to inspire a person. I’m asking you how God inspiring a person removes that person’s free will?Įn_Hakkore: Perhaps you could further define the method of inspiration you are presenting Matt: Okay, and how does God inspiring a person remove a person’s free will?Įn_Hakkore: Because when a person writes, they are freely choosing what words to use using the cognitive skills they have and expressing their own thoughts
Matt: I am waiting for you to tell us what free will is.Įn_Hakkore: “free will” is the ability to make choices freely Matt: Now, why don’t you tell us what free will is?Įn_Hakkore: We can resume after you’re done with your declarations… Matt: I’m only exposing the weakness of your position Is so obvious that what you have done is subjected the word of God to your preferences Matt: You are the one who is making a bunch of assumptions and basing your position on your own assumptions. Matt: I am only responding to what you’re sayingĮn_Hakkore: Then respond one point at a time Matt: You don’t “think he does”? That’s it?Įn_Hakkore: You have the tendency to throw a whole whack of questions out at a time, I can only respond to one at a time Ask your questions one at a time and I will answer them Matt: Where do you get that assumption? not to mention you haven’t defined free will.Įn_Hakkore: I do not think He does it because I see no evidence for it. Matt: What makes you think he doesn’t do it? You mean he values human sinful free will? God values sinfulness?Įn_Hakkore: I stated God values human freedom… and that is all I stated. Matt: Are you saying that God is incapable of overcoming a person’s sin so as to inspire him to write something without error? You have to define free will.Įn_Hakkore: No, I am not saying He is incapable of it, simply that He doesn’t do it because He values human freedom The first issue is whether “free will” is infringed upon by the method of inspiration you propose. Matt: If God inspires a person to write, “There is a God”, does that mean it isn’t true… or is it?Įn_Hakkore: Your second question cannot be answered until the ramifications of your first questions are explored… to which I will turn. Matt: What makes you think he infringes on someone’s “free will” if he inspires them? Can’t God’s spirit in a person, work with a person’s free will, clarify the truth, and bring him to freely write the truth without error?
Matt: You mean God can’t have someone write something without errors?Įn_Hakkore: To me your question equates to will God make someone write something inerrant… and my answer, as noted above, is no because I do not believe He infringes on free will I said breathes it out… through a person En, if God inspires someone to write something, is it inerrant?Įn_Hakkore: No, because I don’t believe God interferes with free will and what comes out on paper has been filtered through an imperfect person
Matt: En, if God breathes out scripture, is it inerrant?Įn_Hakkore: If God wrote something, yes it would be inerrant I believe that this is an inconsistency (not addressed in this dialogue) to believe in such a miraculous and fantastic thing based upon a document that is, basically, untrustworthy. Yet, he affirms that Jesus Christ is God in flesh, something the New Testament clearly teaches. En_Hakkore does not believe in the inerrancy of the original documents of the Old and New Testament. I jump into this dialogue after another person had been speaking with En_Hakkore for a while. This dialogue is an excellent example of how presuppositions imposed upon the word of God, and undermine the authority and sufficiency of Scripture.
