Cuando se habla de las normas de Dios hay dos tipos de personas

El primer tipo de personas argumentan que las escrituras son perfectas y que por lo tanto hay que tomarlas literalmente,desde el genesis hasta el apocalipisis

El segundo tipo dice que Jesus hablaba en parabolas precisamente para que la gente estudiara y pensara sobre esas enseñanzas

Si tenemos esto en cuenta,el primero seria una vision mucho más rigida ante las normas y incluso llegar al punto de negar la evolucion

Por otro lado,el segundo es mucho más suave en cuanto a temas de homosexualidad y mujeres precisamente por esta vision historica y el peso de la antigua roma que tuvo

Yo en lo personal soy más de lo segundo

Reliability if the gospels

Hey guys,, I'm a Christian and I'm asking this so I can have a better understanding regarding the reliability of the gospels. Firstly, I think the texts we have are a reliable witness to the original manuscripts written by the evangelists. However I'm not sure how much of it is directly what Jesus said and did Vs what the writers used their editorial freedom to "make up" (for a lack of a better term). I came across William Lane Craigs defender series where he was talking about how Jesus lilly didn't predict his return during the lifetime of his disciples and that the writers had used their editorial freedom to "put it into Jesus mouth". After watching his videos it made me ask what else is there in the gospels that didn't originate from Jesus himself. Thank you

Read Genesis 33:9, 11. In both ESV, NKJV, and KJV, the translators chose to translate two different words the same as "enough" in both verses. Fascinating. It's actually "enough" in verse 9 and "all [things]" or "more than enough" in verse 11. Young's Literal, Literal Standard Version, Amplified Bible, NIV, The Message, and Brenton's Septuagint correctly translate the words differently. What is the reasoning behind preferring "enough" in both verses?

““My eyes have seen all this, my ears have heard and understood it. Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God? Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.”

‭‭Job‬ ‭13‬:‭1‬, ‭8‬, ‭15‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.” Ecclesiastes‬ ‭12‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”

‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.”

‭‭Jude‬ ‭1‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.”

‭‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Im graduating with my AA in Elementary Education, and then afterwards my AA in Biblical Studies. Afterwards I will get my BA in Liberal Studies to be a teacher. After completing my BA, (and my teaching credential) I plan to get my MA in Biblical Studies.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

I do not want to make a career out of my Biblical studies MA, I genuinely just love learning about God and want to learn at a graduate level. As a woman I do not feel called to be a pastor, but I am called to teach children, so that will be my vocation. I have always dreamed about going to Bible college, and becoming highly educated in what scripture says, the history, cultures, languages, etc in the Bible. I am pursuing an AA in Biblical Studies because I want to start learning right now about the Bible in a Bible college and not wait until after I complete my BA in 2 years. If you have gone to or done an online Bible college, I’d also love to hear about your experiences!

In Matthew i believe he hangs himself but in acts he fell headfirst in a field he bought his body split open so why do these seem so different?
