- I believe that the Bible is only the words of God not men. I believe God used men to physically pen His words, but they are not men's words.
- I believe the bible is the only book to be perfect, pure, fair and tested and therefore the only source of truth. Any truth man speaks comes from the bible.
- If the bible is perfect then I believe all things in it to be true whether I understand them or not. I have also personally put the bible to the test in my own life and its words have shown to be true in my own life as well. (Its the only thing that has truly shown me hope, direction, lasting purpose and peace)
- I believe that the bible is without error. If they are God's words then they are perfect. It claims to be perfect and so far in history and in personal experience everything has come to pass as claimed. If I ever find what I believe to be an error I believe its either because of my lack of study and understanding or simply due to my sinful nature and inability to see things as God intended. I believe if you seek it out you will find that what you thought an error is really just another truth to be understood.
- Jeremiah 23:29 reminded me that God's word is powerful enough to shatter the hardest of hearts and will consume (like a fire) the things that are temporary. Isaiah 55:11 reminded me that I can have hope that God's Word will accomplish what He set out for it to do. It also reminds me that I can go my own way if I want, but God's going to do His thing... with or without me. He would prefer with me and so would I :) Psalm 119 is a good reminder that the earth stands because of God's word....enough said for me.
Isn't it amazing how 5 verses 10-15 minutes a day can teach you so much? It also gives you so much discussion in a discipleship group or biblestudy. Stick with me, because next week we are all going to find out what we believe the Bible's Subject and Purpose is.
