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 Jesus is God incarnate (God in the flesh), and due to the fact that He quoted from Scripture, I believe that all Scripture is true. If it were not 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 until everything is accomplished."1 By saying this, 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, in Scripture, also affirms that it is without error. Bible References: 1 (Matthew 5:17-18 NIV, words in parenthesis are mine) |
