Scripture Alone

[Verse 1: Flame] I can hear your questions homie Is that book reliable Yes it is, the testaments are very verifiable What do you believe in What do you abide by Maybe it's a mixture of different stuff Tie dye You boys are all syncretists Synching in your own thoughts The book that I hold to Cohesive and never off Say that my book carrying lies But it's quite the contrary Sixty-Six holy scripts Its more like a library Written by forty authors in three different languages English is not one them Greek and Hebrew surely is Inspired and inerrant Whoa what does that mean It's from God and without error in absolutely everything Yeah it addresses class in session Boy I hope you learn somethin' Heard them lies from other guys Boy I hope turn from 'em Why does matter though If the Bible's false or true Matter fact 'fore you answer that let me caution you Don't play with epistemology Homie we need absolutes If there's no such thing as truth He can do what he wanna do She can do what she wanna do And can't nobody say nothing If a killer pull them choppers out feel like spraying something Can't nobody say its wrong And we all know that's a lie Somebody outside of us has to speak and rectify That's just what God did in the Christian holy book Why don't you crack it open, sit down, take a look [Spoken Bridge: Flame] God is communicating with us man The Bible is the most thoroughly documented work of all antiquity If we can't trust in the Bible, than we can't trust nothing [Verse 2: Flame] Lets go Why thy give my book a hard time Especially the New Testament Bitextual variance That's utterly irrelevant To the proper understanding and translation of the text Yes with more manuscript there are more variants But the more the merrier Homie this is not a threat This is strong evidence We possess the original text Have these manuscripts Different areas Different times But they all testify to the same text Just blows my mind God is so Ain't no words to explain How he preserved his word through dessert plains and heavy rains But they try to tell us that the Bible's been corrupted I say they are misinformed and they might as well cut it See Flame is bout to get deep And I ain't talking scuba gear I'm talking real scholarly Bought to bring some proof in here P75, Codex Vaticanus These are two manuscripts from scriptures in the cannon And When I say cannon I ain't talking about boom But the collection of books that all function as the rule Back to p75 It's from the second century The other's from the fourth Sorry for the history One hundred and fifty years these copies are separated But it's so fascinating how they are so closely related But there is no team either Controlling the transmission Just God and his Holy Spirit Looking out for his Christians
