No he does not believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God, which makes it all the more curious since by rejecting the Bible's authority N4S doesn't have an authority to stand on other than his own opinions formed by those who themselves rejected the Bible as God's Word.
Furthermore the point about the Jews not believing in the afterlife is not big shocker, the Saduccess didn't believe in the ressurection, angels, or spirits. That's not breaking news. That wasn't even breaking news 2000 years ago. Jesus rebuked them for this telling them "You do ERR, NOT KNOWING the scripture" despite the fact that they MEMORIZED the entire scripture AND often in Jesus time the High Priest was a Saducee. So how does the fact that "Jews" didn't believe in the afterlife as "Christians" do even factor in? It is non-sequitur argument.
And to do so is to reject many statements in the Old Testament, even as far back as the book of Job (widely considered the oldest book in the Old Testament).
Thus, because N4S has rejected the Bible as the Word of God, and has not offered an alternative authoritative source, WE each become the authority, and our opinions reign supreme. Folly if there ever was.
