Hi Folks,

If only the autographs "were inspired", if all inspiration is past, then nobody has had a fully inspired Bible ever .. in any time, language or place.

The following is present tense .. "is given"

2 Timothy 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God,
and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in righteousness:


Scripture is given .. today .. and is profitable .. today.

I simply do not understand the reluctance of these summit folks and others to simply declare:

"By the grace of God, I have the 100% pure word of God in my hands, inspired and preserved. The Holy Bible, the Authorized Version, the King James Bible. Readable by the ploughman, and even the scholar. Thank you Lord Jesus for your perfect word."

Shalom,
Steven Avery
