@JohnAnneMarie2 @JasonR32169 @AshMinnehan @TheStaad Again, you are taking this book to be literal when it's not. These verses emphasize the sacredness of God’s revealed truth and the serious consequences of distorting it. Revelation affirms salvation through faith in Christ (Revelation 1:5–6; 3:20–21).

@JohnAnneMarie2 @JasonR32169 @AshMinnehan @TheStaad Have you asked Grok any of these questions? Or Google? Do you believe you have "eyes to see and ears to hear" when it comes to these subjects? Or have you bought into this idea that the NT has been usurped to the point where you're blinded by your rejection of them?

I'm not trying to "wriggle" out of anything. Maybe you could think more carefully about your rhetoric? You call certain books of the bible "fake" when you have no proof of this other than your own understanding or the understanding of others who hold your same ideology and then claim that people are trying to "wriggle" out of answering your question when you disagree with them. You have clearly only listened to those who you agree with and push back on anyone who disagrees with your conclusions. Again, the bible is a book of FAITH. If you don't have faith that the bible is real in its current state, there really is no hope in reaching you. I never said the book of Revelation was written TO GOD. Revelation 1:1 doesn't expound on the meaning of the word "shortly". Typically, if there was a time frame that was in mind, there would be something in the prophecy about it. "Scholars note that “shortly” here does not necessarily mean “within a few years” in human terms, but rather that once the events start, they will happen quickly in sequence. For example, the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70 was “shortly” after the prophecy began, but the full fulfillment of Revelation’s vision is still future. It is a call to watchfulness, reflecting the urgency of God’s plan and the rapidity with which His purposes will unfold when they begin."

Revelation 1:1 1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, Revelation 22:18-19 18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll. The scroll spoken of is specifically of Revelation alone. Not the entire bible. A scroll was a specific length during this time, and one scroll couldn't have held the entire bible alone. Most scrolls were up to about 35 feet long. The Great Isaiah scroll found in the Dead Sea Scrolls was around 24 feet long. John wasn't changing anything in the bible with this revelation. It is strictly prophetic and symbolic. Unlike Mohammed, John wasn't trying to control the narrative and change it to his specifications in order to make the bible in HIS image, he was giving future prophecies that we should look for at the end of days. It never changed anything fundamental about scripture. It's really just an expansion of Isaiah as it draws a lot of the same imagery from that book. Everything in the book draws from bits and pieces of the OT. I watched a really interesting video on Isaiah that was really quite remarkable. I'm going to add it so you can watch it if you'd like. Maybe you can let me know what you think of it. youtu.be/yBCWUyNLy-Q

Revelation is not a meant to be read LITERALLY like the rest of the bible. It's actually called "THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST" and is full of prophesy and revelatory imagery, much like Isaiah which it heavily draws from, another book I struggle with. It's hard to understand because it uses difficult to imagine complex symbolism, apocalyptic imagery, and prophetic language rooted in historical and cultural contexts of the time it was written. I have a hard time understanding it myself. I need people who have spent years dedicating their lives trying to suss out what it means to help me understand all the symbolism shown throughout. You'll have to explain why you believe it "condemns itself". Lots of people have misunderstood or misinterpreted it for centuries. The Catholics believe the "Queen of Heaven" spoken of in Jeremiah, and alluded to in Revelation, is Jesus's mother, Mary, but it's not. It's symbolic of the CHURCH. Those who are indwelt with the Holy Spirit spread across the entire globe, with no particular organizational denomination attached to them. The one thing a lot of modern-day Christians fail to realize is that the bible wasn't written for US. It was written for the people of the 1st century which makes it hard for us, who are so far removed from living like the people in those times, to comprehend a lot of the meaning. Much of the bible was also written with a lot of poetry. A type of reading I am completely unfamiliar with. I feel like I'm reading a book filled with typographical errors because it's almost like I stutter when reading it. Poetry is just not in my wheelhouse, and my brain isn't used to reading things that way making it seem or feel mechanical and unrealistic. Maybe you suffer from the same problem, but haven't recognized it as such? Jesus spoke in parables, a lot, because He knew that those who WOULD understand had the "ears to hear and the eyes to see" while those who didn't, wouldn't understand what he was talking about. God wants us to be curious about Him and try to understand what He's speaking to us about. Those who shrug their shoulders at the parable and walk away are not interested in what God has to say, have no interest in living a Godly life. They're happy immersed in the world. It's good that you're curious, but don't allow your need for perfect understanding destroy the good the bible represents as a whole. We aren't meant to understand everything perfectly this side of Heaven. The one thing the bible teaches ad nauseum is the fact that we must have FAITH that the bible is what it says it is and live our lives according to its teachings, regardless of the people who may or may not have written it down. If God cannot control the words that He had people author for Him and canonized to His specifications, then we don't have a very powerful God.

I didn't say that I believe the bible is GOD. GOD is GOD. The bible is His word. It is His template to guide humanity to traverse in the best possible way, a sinful and corrupt world. Do you think it's in your best interest to render judgment on how people perceive the bible? Is everyone who lives their lives through the biblical worldview worshipping the bible in your eyes? Was Jesus treating the bible as God whenever he referred back to it when he preached His sermons? Jesus said the words "𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒅" many times throughout His ministry. He didn't once say, "have you read what Daniel, Samuel or Ezekiel said?"

In the most basic answer that I can give you regarding how I verify the authenticity of the bible is this. I don't waste my time trying to verify the bible's authenticity or debunking a library of books written over 1500 years by over 40 different authors whose words were all soundly vetted and interpreted to be in line with Jesus teachings prior to them being added to canon by men who know far more than I ever could about the origins of each book. While you may believe that the Timothy epistles are "fake", I don't. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 reads: 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. How can you take Jesus's sayings as "Gospel Truth"? Jesus never wrote a single word of the Gospel. We don't know with any certainty who wrote either John or Matthew. Luke and Mark had never actually met Jesus. They took the word of the people who had known Him. Most of the Gospels weren't written during Jesus's lifetime in the flesh. They were written much later. Both Mark and Luke knew Paul and were discipled by him. How can you trust anything those 2 had to say since they were so heavily influenced by him? The comparison to the way Acts was written and the way the pastoral epistles were written are very similar. They could have been the same writer. We also know that Luke acted as Paul's secretary. That being said, the bible was written by GOD through His inspiration of men. There are many books in both the OT and the NT that we're not 100% certain of their authorship. That doesn't mean we don't believe them by virtue of us not having a firm grasp on authorship. We have no idea who wrote Hebrews. You can choose to believe in the authenticity of the bible or not. That is your prerogative. Once you allow one little thread to be pulled, you start running into the problem of the garment unraveling altogether. This is what deconstructionists do. They pick apart the bible until it no longer has any meaning. You can do the same thing with words. I think of the bible in much the same way that Voddie Baucham did. He said this: "I choose to believe the Bible because it is a reliable collection of historical documents written down by eyewitnesses during the lifetime of other eyewitnesses. They reported supernatural events that took place in fulfillment of specific prophecies and claimed that their writings are divine rather than human in origin." He expounds on what he means in the following clip from one of his sermons. youtu.be/X8ckDnUjV7c

Are you picking and choosing things you want to believe using your own understanding? Where is it that you're supposed to be "SEEKING TRUTH"? I'm not sure Jesus thought that the apostles were supposed to "seek truth" from the world. Every word of the bible, including the epistles you question, are in line with the rest of the bible. The epistles you question were canonized by men who were far more theologically capable and much closer to the subject matter than we are. Even the people who question who wrote them don't claim they're "FAKE". Unfortunately, nothing anyone can point you to that will even remotely get you close to accepting them as belonging in the bible if you don't wish to believe it. We can point to other epistles from other apostles, such as 2 Peter 3:15-16 where he calls Paul's epistles scripture, but you think that epistle is FAKE. Why do you believe they're "FAKE"? Is it possible that they were dictated by Paul and then a scribe wrote them down after the fact, using his own vernacular instead of Paul's? Or maybe it's the fact that those epistles were written when he was older and experience had taught him a thing or two and his wording was a bit harsher when dealing with problematic churches he'd planted. The epistles that Paul wrote aren't in chronological order in the bible. They go from the longest to the shortest. Maybe if you read them in the proper order in which they were written, they might give you a different perspective. I'll leave it at this. BILLIONS of people across the globe believe every word of the bible. It's up to you if you want to trust that the Lord has provided you with the truth. If you choose not to, that's your prerogative. God will not force you to do anything you don't wish to do, and He won't force you to be in His presence if you choose not to believe in His word. John 14:6 I am the way, the 𝒕𝒓𝒖𝒕𝒉 and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Psalm 25:5 5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.

@JohnAnneMarie2 @EX_EV0LUTIONIST @AshMinnehan @TheStaad I haven't felt led to go down that rabbit hole so for now I'll trust that the Omnipotent, Sovereign, Creator and Sustainer of every molecule in the universe managed to get what wanted in a comparatively little book called the bible, so that His children wouldn't be led astray.
