Scripture (RSV-Catholic):
* And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.- Luke 22: 44
* Then he released for them Barab'bas, and having scourged Jesus, delivered him to be crucified. - Matthew 27: 26
* and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand. And kneeling before him they mocked him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!" - Matthew 27: 29
* So they took Jesus, and he went out, bearing his own cross, to the place called the place of a skull, which is called in Hebrew Gol'gotha.- John 19: 17
* And when they came to the place which is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on the right and one on the left.- Luke 23: 33

hola amigo,
ReplyDeleteI wonder about the questions "are these passages true?" if we are able to pick and choose what is true in the Bible, then, none of it is true.
If we can say "this is true, but this is not"; then, there is no truth, just individual deciding what they want to follow based on what, their own biases, or what is easy?
Men are fallible, but that is where faith in divine inspiration and the like comes in.
"if we are able to pick and choose what is true in the Bible, then, none of it is true."
ReplyDelete- I agree with this. The point it, there is truth to be found in the Bible. Is there not? And that, from this truth, we can make other deductions. Can we not?

- I'm not sure if you are restricting the scope of this statement to the Bible or expanding it to claims made outside of the Bible. I am going to assume that you are restricting it to the Bible, if not let me know and I can try to respond to that. I, and most professing Christians, believe the whole Bible to be true. I do not believe it is truth because I call it truth, I believe that it is truth because it belongs to God. I can only recognize the truth and respond to it, but not create it for myself.
