All that any of us knows about God has been revealed in the Bible. Wasn’t it through the Bible that you came to know Christ Jesus? Sure it was! I believe that Christ Jesus is God incarnate (God in the flesh) and due to the fact that He quoted from Scripture I believe all Scripture to be true. If it weren’t so, surely He would not have quoted from it. Look what He said: "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets (Old Testament Scripture); I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law (Old Testament Scripture) until everything is accomplished." (Matthew 5:17-18) By saying this, Christ Jesus was affirming that even the dot on the letter “ i “ in Scripture is the word of God. If I believed that the Bible could contain error, then I wouldn’t believe any of it. If one part could be wrong, then any part could be wrong (even that which points the way to salvation). The Bible, however, is without error. Over time, many have tried to disprove the Bible yet they have failed to do so (it has stood the test). The fulfillment of prophecy (contained in Scripture) also affirms that it is without error. |
