Don’t be intimidated by the length of this post. I’ve just included several Bible versions of the same two verses. Different versions state this differently, but I just want to know the meaning of the phrase “Scripture cannot be broken” (which is worded differently in different versions).

[35] If he called them gods to whom the word of God came (and scripture cannot be broken),
[36] do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, `You are blaspheming,' because I said, `I am the Son of God'? John 10:35-36 RSV

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;
36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? John 10:35-36 KJV

35 If He called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), 36 do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? John 10:35-36 NKJV


35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? John 10:35-36 NIV

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came (and the scripture cannot be broken), 36 say ye of him, whom the Father [a]sanctified and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? John 10:35-36 ASV

35 If those to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’—and the scripture cannot be annulled— 36 can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? John 10:35-36 NRSV

Since you DID say "don't be Intimidated by by the length of this post and that you had posted different versions of the same scripture"I figure this thread will be about,which bible we should use and not the Interpretation of that scripture.

One thing I will say about scripture(s)can not be broken,Is,If the scripture(s)that they are using do not harmonize with the scripture(s) you are using,(I'm talking about the Holy Bible of course)then there Is error In someone's Interpretation.

ever notice how important descendants are in the bible? like God doesnt say " I am the God of abraham alone, but the God of abraham isaac and Jacob? and the promise of covenant was given to abraham and goes all the way down the line to all of His descendants? Blessing is passed from father to eldest son in the ot. in essence The Life of the Father, is carried on By the Son, as well as the blessing. thats why jacobs blessing from isaac is such a big deal in scripture. Because Jacob blessed Isaac all isaac Had was then Jacobs Just as abraham passed the blessing to isaac rather than ishmael. the blessing and promise of God is whats important. Jesus Claim came from prophecy His claim was that He was Gods Only begotten Son, to the keepers of the mosaic Law this meant Jesus was equal to God in the same sense as the worth of the blessing is passed from Father to Son. Jesus said this multiple times " all that the Father has is mine" of course we Know Jesus was born of mary, but His spirit was that of God His Father. Jesus is the only One who has no earthly Father, besides adam who was created and not concieved.

In the Bible, the fathers Life is in the Son. and the inheritance of God is eternal Life, that inheritance belongs to Jesus and all that He chooses to share it with. those He chooses to share eternal Life with, are known as Gods children through that inheritance and it only can come from the rightful heir who is Jesus the Christ and Son of God.

scripture cannot be broken because it is Gods word, if God speaks, His declaration will be and it cannot change. thats why when adam died through sin, God didnt Just say well never mind lets start over, because He already said " when you eat of this fruit, you will surely die"<<< its irrevocable when God speaks it creates. satan was clever because even though this is a safeguard for adam, satan used it against Him by knowing " if i can get Him to eat this fruit, He will die because God said if He does it he will die. same principle as "God said Let there be light, and then there was Light"

rather than God saying nevermind, adams ( mans) certain death was fulfilled in Christ. which was also spoken beforehand through the prophets "God cannot Lie" nor can what He says be erased or can He be wrong. if He says it, it is and cannot fail to come to pass as He decreed it, Our creators words Create. the scripture is His word and cannot be broken or changed nor will it fail to come to pass.

and this is the scripture Jesus was referring to, another pointing to what Jesus would do and why men are known as "gods" because adam was the first man, and God breathed into Him the spirit.

psalm 82 "{A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit ALL NATIONS.

No, this wasn't meant to be about which Bible is the best. I'm not aware of any perfect versions of the Bible. I used to stand by the old Revised Standard Version, which I was given as a child, but I'm gaining a respect for the New King James Version.

I sort of wanted to get into the "scripture can't be broken" thing. Isn't this the scripture people use to prove that the Bible is the infallible Word of God?
