All inspired scripture: security analysis
1. All inspired scripture: security analysis
These ideas are a starting point and will be developed.
2. All inspired scripture: security analysis
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: [kjv]
All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is helpful ...
All scripture that is God-breathed is helpful ...
Which translation is more open to deception, wandering off-track, improper inferences, etc.? A security analysis looks at how an assumed meaning can be exploited by some for their own advantage.
The
KJV (King James Version) and Latin contain the "
and". However, the Greek word for "
and" is
not present in some early Greek manuscripts which changes the meaning of the words.
New Testament text and translation commentary. p. 676. Phillip W. Comfort. Tyndale House Publishers. 2008. In such cases, one should investigate the implications for both possibilities and make decisions accordingly.
3. A reproof on the use of the word reproof
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: [kjv]
πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη [gnt]
omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et … docendum … arguendum … corrigendum … erudiendum … iustitia [v]
Many people assume that all scripture is good for "
reproof" as in good for "
admonishing" someone.
The Greek word translated as "
reproof" meant more of an "
argument of disproof" as in nicely showing someone the error in their reasoning using "
evidence". The Latin Vulgate word is
"argumentum" ≈ "argument, evidence, proof",
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: [kjv]
All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is helpful ...
All scripture that is God-breathed is helpful ...

4. 2 Timothy 3:16 Scripture
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: [kjv]
πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη [gnt]
omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et … docendum … arguendum … corrigendum … erudiendum … iustitia [v]
The Greek for "
profitable" is that of "
helpful". In context, it could be "
profitable".
5. 2 Timothy 3:16 Scripture
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: [kjv]
πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη [gnt]
omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et … docendum … arguendum … corrigendum … erudiendum … iustitia [v]
Some Greek manuscripts add the "
and" which changes the meaning of the text. The "
is given by" is inferred in the English assuming the "
and" should be present.
The Greek for "
all" means "
everything" in the domain of discussion.
6. 2 Timothy 3:16 Scripture
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: [kjv]
πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη [gnt]
omnis scriptura divinitus inspirata et … docendum … arguendum … corrigendum … erudiendum … iustitia [v]
The only "
scripture" at the time were the "
holy writings" of the
OT (Old Testament). The
NT (New Testament) in written form does not appear to have existed at that time.
Can one justify changing "
all scripture" as in "
all writing" that is "
inspired by God" to include writing that would happen in the future?
Discuss: How does selecting which writing to include or exclude in the "
holy scriptures" influence the meaning of this verse?
7. 2 Timothy 3:16-17
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: [kjv]
3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. [kjv]
The "
inspiration of God" is, in the Greek, "
God breathed". The "
breathed" is the word used at Pentecost..
Discuss: What is the difference and implications in the following translations.
All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is helpful ...
All scripture that is God-breathed is helpful ...
Which translation is more open to deception, wandering off-track, improper inferences, etc.?
8. 2 Timothy 3:16
KJV: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Greek: πασα γραφη θεοπνευστος και ωφελιμος προς διδασκαλιαν προς ελεγχον ελεγμον προς επανορθωσιν προς παιδειαν την εν δικαιοσυνη
9. Bus stop analogy
Bus goes from stop 1 to 2 to 3 to 4.
There are a lot of people getting on at stop 3.
It can be hard to get to the front of the line.
Solution: Walk the short distance to stop 2 and get on, or a longer distance to stop 1 and get on.
Problem solved.
10. Babylon
How did Babylon fall so quickly after Daniel and the Writing on the Wall?
Babylon had strong fortifications and a canal/moat system.
The Persian general diverted the river upstream.
The soldiers waded through the lowered water into the city.
The city fell without much of a battle.
Reported by Herodotus.
11. Encryption
Proper encryption is hard to break.
Solution: Find a way to get into the system before the encryption is done (e.g., at the keyboard level, etc.).
12. General method
General method: Get into the system upstream.
Start with the original texts.
Change the meaning of the words.
Change the dictionaries used to lookup the words.
Decide which text get accepted into the canon.
Convince everyone that all the text (scripture) is inspired and inerrant.
Better yet, select a translation loosely tied to the original language and make that translation inspired and inerrant.
Those believing this appear to fit the description of the captivated women in the house.
13. Thoughts
Idea (taught in the Brethren Church at one time): Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Deceivers try to get upstream.
Control the thoughts of others and their thoughts will allow you to control them.
Part of this deception is in making those controlled think that it is their own idea.
Some pastors appear to use modern psychology ideas and techniques to plant ideas or dots that help people connect the dots to come to the ideas that that pastor has decided the congregation should reach.
14. Prisoners
The best way to keep a prisoner from escaping is to make sure he never knows he's in prison. Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821-1881), author of
Crime and punishment.
Russian: Фёдор Михайлович Достоевский (1821-1881)
Analogy:
The best way to keep people separated from the love of Christ is to not let them know they have separated themselves from the love of Christ.
One way:
Convince the people that nothing can separate them from the love of Christ. Therefore, they do not need to worry about anything.
15. Solution
One solution to this problem is to recognize that fault tolerant error correcting interpretations are needed.
These method have been studied in computation and information theory.
Claude Shannon
Hamming (codes)
The primary idea is that redundancy can be used both to detect and (help) correct errors in data transmission.
