For those wanting to know more about bottom-up and top-down processing. https://www.verywellmind.com/bottom-up-processing-and-perception-4584296

It all goes back to Tydale, anyway. Except Llamsa. He goes back to an Aramaic translation of the Greek.

Like the Tyndale Bible? That's pretty raw, but he was still kinda academic about it all.

What was in the collection that they had already begun making?

Qustions from T-BONE, answers from Mike what writers were unbelievers? . I was referring to compilers and people controlling the manuscripts. how did you know they were unbelievers? . It is safe to assume the adversary had his agents in there, due to the high stakes. how is the integrity of the Bible undermined? .The body of knowledge built up in a human mind can get undermined in the TRUST area when information from the wrong sources is considered too deeply. We see the integrity of the Word undermined step by step as she processes info from the devil. You know, it's the PFAL model, the PFAL Postulate.

You can always start a new topic and make it your own. BUT, one thing is certain: the will of God is definitely NOT the word of God. That's been established.

Re: Job Another thing Bullinger just got wrong, unless Mike is misquoting him. The STORY of Job probably DOES predate the Pentateuch. But the VERSION in the Hebrew Bible was WRITTEN.... no one really knows. It could have been written as late as the book of Daniel, 4th century BCE. (Actually, Daniel is probably later than that.) And Moses didn't write anything. The good news is, so what? These details don't affect the meaning one may derive from scripture. They don't matter at all. **When I have time and I'm not bombarded and can catch up on all these posts and responses and attacks, I will take Bullinger's Four Crucified toilet and clean it sentence by sentence. It will be a real dandy.

I think you underestimate just how (H-O-W) huge that mistake was. Thank God for... well... God! All better now. I started a new topic in Humor. It's not as hilarious as this one, unless you think circles are funny.

Humor is the rightful place for this doctrinal thread. If you appreciate the non sequitur humor of Monty Python, Mr. Show, Kids in the Hall, and The State, you'll love this doctrinal thread of pure, grade ababababa bull$hit.

I'm not making an argument. You're making assumptions and accusations, AGAIN. I asked a simple, legitimate and relevant QUESTION in the midst of a DISCUSSION. I already reproved, corrected and warned you about this, Mike.

A canon is a list of books deemed authoritative or genuine. I'm trying to follow.

No, no, no, NO!!! The Word = TheBible+Believing+ChristInYou+YourWalk The will of God is not part of the equation.

Where in 2 Timothy are the canonical books listed?

Craig Has His Own Offshoot Going On
Nathan_Jr replied to Stayed Too Long's topic in Out of the Way: The Offshoots
My only thought is these words come from a place of profound perception, heightened awareness, and divine sensitivity. -
Pure gold!!! Every second of this film is pure genius.

Lots of info and videos of sermons on his site. For free! You can find him teaching virtually his entire class on YouTube, as well. For free! The differences are more than I am willing to parse, but I'm sure a few spotters can provide some details. From what I remember, the differences are subtle and semantic and nuanced - just enough to claim they're not the same. https://ctcoftexas.com/about/

When honestly investigating or honestly researching, confirmation bias in any amount is always bad. Any use of confirmation bias ain't good in an HONEST investigation. You looked at my FORMAT? MY format? I haven't detailed or outlined a format. I merely offered a simple definition. What is my format? My definition doesn't limit types of evidence. In fact, it demands that ALL types of evidence be considered. What could be broader in scope than what I offered it means to investigate, to research? I'm open to a better definition. You are making assumptions again. You are starting with conclusions. The implication of your assumptions is a false accusation. You are ignoring the internal evidence of my writing. Look at the internal evidence of my posts in this entire internet forum. I don't preclude or dismiss ANY kind of evidence. Rather, I have always encouraged a closer examination of ALL evidence, not just the evidence that fits a conclusion. And I always begin with I don't know. I start with questions, not answers. I'm going to caution you this one last time, Mike. The assumptions and accusations and unjustified, unprovoked attacks have only one source: The Accuser, The Adversary.

This sentence is not only deliciously ironic, it's instructive. What does it mean to investigate? Is seeking confirmation bias investigation? When one knows how (H-O-W) to investigate, to research, one follows the evidence wherever it leads. One must be able to look with a mind free to look. The answer, the conclusion, the truth, is accepted, whatever it is. What one WANTS the truth to be can only ever get in the way of finding the truth. One must be open to one's beliefs and assumptions (postulates) being wrong if one is to endeavor honest investigation, honest research, if one ever wants to find the truth.

Did you read Bruce Metzger's entire article from which you quoted? You might find it edifying. He is very generous and reassuring to any Christian or Pauline apologist concerning the formation of the canon. It's a short article. It's written in an easy, non-academic style. Any member of a church or a research ministry with a 7th grade education can understand it. You also might find it comforting that he worked at the alma mater of your daddy in the word, T7TMOG. Bruce Metzger may be the most important scholar of textual criticism of the 20th century.
