No, this could not have been the case. There are too many doublets - somewhat different versions of the same story - and contradictions.
As to the gospels, we now know that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke were substantially based on the Gospel of Mark, and that the Gospel of John was loosely based on Luke, with some material taken direct from Mark. This could not be the case if God had inspired these writings, or even if they were based on eyewitness accounts.
There is no scripture that says that God dies.
Yes, the scripture mentions that God does not test us.
though i may be wrong, i don't think there are actual steps to praying, with or without scripture. i either read out the passage or verse and close my eyes (normally it is a Psalm glorifying God or asking for his help.) or you can think about the message of the scripture and pray with that in mind.
2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
The Holy Spirit spoke to these people who healed the sick, knew Jesus, prayed, fasted, people who had a relationship with God. Gods spirit spoke to them and told them the words to write down in scripture.
All scripture is God breathed
This means that the devil is a [fallen] son of God he can cite, or quote scripture as well as any Biblical scholar, and twist the words to his benefit according to Christian beliefs.
The heart of the sacred scripture is in the Gospel.Because JESUS CHRIST the incarnate Word of GOD is the heart and fullness of God's Revelation.
No, God did not promise that life would be easy in scripture. Instead, scripture often speaks of trials and challenges that believers may face.
According to scripture, God knows when we will die because he is all-knowing and has a plan for each person's life.
Catholics describe God in words, mostly using His own Words in the Sacred Scripture. God the Son is often represented in images, as He took on a human body so He is and will always remain human. God the Father and God the Son, do not now, and never will be anything other than pure Spirit so any image would be blasphemous.
The word of God is the word of God if you believe it. You cannot get anything more accurate than the actual words spoken by God, which is the word of God.
