    Will this do?

    An acceptance that something exists or is true, especially one without proof.

    Thank you for your attempt to help me out.
    Let me rephrase my question or perhaps replace it.
    Where does the bible make the claim that it is the word of god.
    I look at it and read it and I have not found any part that says...this book is the word of god...and so I ask why do folk say it is the word of god when it seems there is nothing in the bible that says such.

    Can you point to an introduction or foot note where it says...this book is the word of god and the opinions herein are exclusively the word of god....

    Or try this...why do folk believe it is the word of god when it does not seem to say so...

    It starts..In the begining etc...but clearly there is no note that identifies the author let alone indentifying the author as god...

    It's a biblical prophecy, but the traitors name is Judas Iscariot.

    All Mighty had his hands filled with Invincibility. He's still omnipotent.

    Unfalse is a demon. Truthfully you believe through hate. I believe in pacifism which is a onmonpia for the opposite to transgression. Idk why those religious folk are hateful because Heaven is the city of splendor... what I'm getting at is fighting for pleasure is sadistic and that includes Heaven.

    The closest I know of is 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".

    But that leads directly to: what does "inspiration" mean? What does "scripture" mean?

    om·nip·o·tent
    \äm-ˈni-pə-tənt\
    adjective
    • having complete or unlimited power
    Merriam Webster

    Can hands be filled with invincibility then the rest of unlimited power overflow?

    Which it seems cannot be used to stop confusion

    Thank you.
    That is what I was looking for.
    I would like to think there is more passages like that one...sortta to firm up the proposition.

    I suspect few could provide the answer you have given so may I say well done and again thank you.

    ??? So scripture is given by inspiration of god?
    So not exactly dictated word by word by god?

    Not sure where profitable fits in

    Correction, sure done many times

    Instruction in righteousness (???? no no your doing it wrong, to be righteous you should do it this way???)

    So how does, what I would have thought, such a critical life style instruction manual, get it so wrong?

    Invincibility can be sent to naught by the prince of the power of the air.

    Multiple translations is the problem.

    The original inspirations as recorded were perfect but they were mucked up by translations and editing.

    The original inspiration was that the universe is eternal but they thought universe was a person.

    Probably they heard about Miss Universe and thought she had a Dad.

    I will explain it in my book which you should read before you see the movie or buy the T shirt.

    Well yes, yes thats it...yes I dont like talking about the many good things I will be doing with the income I dont like sounding too righteous. ...

    I just found one of the original scriptures which was a first hand god inspiration..written by the guy that was inspired directly by god...its a treasure....and if you would like a copy and prepared to go to the trouble of drawing a new will to help me with getting a jet so I can do even more good work I could send you one copy with a certificate of authenticity...anyways you know that kill that neighbour who you find working on the sabath...the actual original inspiration says..."if you find your neighbour working on the sabath you should kill your best goat and prepare a bar be que and invite the hard working neighbour over for a meal and a beer when he has finished".

    Wait untill you hear the original about adultery. ..it seems it is ok so long as you dont tell anyone☺.

    Hey, stained glass is very expensive. Did you know that the red glass panes in old cathedrals are made of gold?

    For centuries this was a closely guarded secret. It belonged in the science of alchemy, blasphemy, unless performed by priests and "blessed" glass blowers.
