What About Those who Have Never Heard of Jesus

[Seamus Fermanagh]

This word of god was selected by humans out of similar words and only after that it acquired the current form. If a collection of humans (with the neccessary authority) gets together and makes another choice, the word of god will be quite different.

Glirandir:

This argument as to selection of contents and the argument regarding translations are more or less moot to this discussion. Those who believe in the Bible believe that it is inspired by the Holy Spirit as to selection and translation. They will not be moved by your argument. Those who preference human agency over divine inspiration are already convinced of your argument.

The faithful will, mostly, be open to your arguing that they themselves may be misunderstanding the messages contained in the Bible. They will simply ignore an attempt to assert that the Bible is, ab initio, solely human in origin.

[Gilrandir]

Those who believe in the Bible believe that it is inspired by the Holy Spirit as to selection and translation.

An outstanding selectivity on the part of the Holy Spirit: finding time to inspire a book, but no time to correct the wrongs afflicting the world.
