Does the Bible have No Errors?

Does the Bible have No Errors?

Yes, as it was originally given to the prophets, the Bible contains no errors. This is because it is the inspired word of God (2 Timothy 3:16), and God does not make mistakes, and He always tells the truth (Titus 1:3). Now, that doesn’t mean that in its being copied throughout the thousands of years by fallible human hands, that some textual errors have not slipped into the Bible. A few have. However, this simply reinforces the integrity of the scriptures, since we know where those errors have occurred through study of the ancient texts. The certainty of the text of the Bible is sure despite human error.no errors

Some say that the Bible has contradictions in it. This is false. A contradiction is the affirmation of both the truth and falsehood of the same precisely stated statement. Some look at two statements in the Bible that discuss two different things and conclude a contradiction. The statements “Moses was a Hebrew,” and “Moses was an Egyptian” are not contradictory because both are true. The statements “Moses was a Hebrew, and Moses was not a Hebrew” are contradictory. This is the difficulty with proving a contradiction. There are plenty of books devoted to explaining alleged Bible contradictions, and they are worth reading.

More importantly, however, the content of the Bible is inerrant. This means that when we study it, we are reading actual history, understanding truth about God, and learning correct morality. As 2 Timothy 2:16-17 make clear, the scriptures are “profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” This means that there is no other source of information we need to be completed person of God.

God bless you, and I love you.

Confesses and Forsakes?

Confess and Forsake Sin?

“Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.” (Proverbs 28:13 ESV)

confess conceal

Are you one who confesses your sin?

Let’s get one thing straight. All people sin. Unrighteous people sin. Righteous people sin. All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory at some point in their lives. What is the difference between when a righteous person sins and when a wicked person sins? The one who is righteous, when he sins, he will confess his sin and turn away from them in repentance. This takes courage and integrity. It takes great personal integrity to repent,  especially when no other person knows of the sin. It takes courage to repent and take ownership of one’s faults, especially when the sin is widely known.

In contrast, the one who seeks to cover up or hide his sins will not prosper. The unrighteous man may think he has hidden away his sins from the world, and they may be for a time, but God knows! The “secret” sinner thinks because no one else knows of his wrongdoing that he will continue to prosper. In this world he may prosper, even directly from his sin, but his worldly prosperity has no bearing upon his spiritual well-being. In the end, his sin, though unknown to the world at large is known unto God and it will bring the eventual spiritual wages of sin upon him.

“Some men’s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.”(1 Timothy 5:24 KJV)

Abusing the Mental State of a Child

Abusing the Mental State of a Child

Dear Christian teachers, employers, politicians, preachers, and elders, you are NOT doing a child who identifies as the opposite sex, or an animal, or whatever, any favors by agreeing with their fantasy. You are not helping their mental state. You are not helping them get to heaven. You are not encouraging them to be a be good student, employee, or citizen by going along with what amounts to child abuse.gender fantasy

We have adults (most of whom have debased minds), encouraging MINORS to surgically alter their bodies, permanently. We have children who are depressed and committing suicide because they thought surgery and hormone therapy would fill their void. If ever there was a hill for Christians to die on it would be on how we allow children to be treated.

Jesus said very clearly: “But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to sin, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were drowned in the depth of the sea.” (Matthew 18:6).

HEAR THIS: THEY DON’T NEED HORMONE THERAPY. THEY NEED JESUS CHRIST!

Stop calling little Billy “Sally.” God created Billy, not Sally. He is a “he,” not a “she.” Shame on us for going along with this sinful insanity. If your school, job, or position requires it then maybe it’s time to walk out—en masse!

Maybe it’s time we fight for God and children rather than remaining one of Satan’s silent warriors. Stop offering up excuses and do what is right!

Ezekiel – Know that I am the Lord

Ezekiel – Know that I am the Lord

The Book of Ezekiel is a fairly lengthy book.  It covers the Lord’s instruction of prophecy through the mouth and actions of Ezekiel.  Ezekiel is to prophecy to the children of Israel in Captivity.  He is in captivity in Babylon and the time frame is approximately 597 BC. ezekiel watchman

The book begins with a description of the Glory of God.  It is something which is discussed in chapter 1 and then again in chapter 10.  For a great study, consult also Revelation chapter 4.   The description of the Lord, the living creatures, cherubim, and the wheels is interesting and with each passage the vision becomes clearer.

In the video below, I discuss how my study is approached.  I tend to use a lot of colors for various reasons, but specifically to identify key words and themes.  For instance, I might use blue when I come across passages prophecying the coming of Jesus.  One of the main things that I do is highlight reoccuring phrases.  This is specifically the focus of this study. By the time I had hit chapter 16, I saw a phrase which was popping up often.  Once I did a word search, the results surprised me!  While I do not discuss all the details of what I have discovered, I do note some interesting findings and I share them with you.

The Bible is fascinating and Ezekiel really provides a great study when you have time.  I hope the thoughts I share with you below cause you to consider taking a closer look at word studies.  Once I start finding key words or phrases, my mind cannot help but be propelled forward as I try to answer the question about why is this being said!

More Than Songs for Children

More Than Songs for Children

Those songs which we sang years ago can easily be laid aside, and we forget their powerful messages. Paul talked about “putting away childish things” (1 Cor. 13:11), but this has nothing to do with forgetting those vital truths we learned even before we went to school. Look at one of those songs.songs for children

“This little light of mine…” or in another version, “This little Christian light of mine” (even though they are not yet Christians}, is at the beginning of the song. It is not just children who have a light, Jesus wants all of us to be the light of the world (Matt. 5:14). We are lights because we are followers of the Light (John 9:5). We reflect His glory into the world of darkness. We must not overlook just how powerful “this little Christian light” of mine is. When Jesus said, “You are the light of the world,” the word “you” is plural (KJV—Ye are the light) but the word “light” is singular. By yourself you may think you have no influence on others, but never forget that a city (composed of many lights) cannot be hidden.

“All around the neighborhood…” is where I’m gonna let it shine. We all live in a different “hood,” and this is why we must see the lost souls on our streets, in our workplace and in every shop we visit. Remember how Jesus described what it means to love your neighbor. The man who helped the battered man beside the road to Jericho was not from that “hood.” In fact, he was from another nation (a Samaritan), yet he was the one who Jesus described as the neighbor. Your “hood” begins at your front door and follows you to every place you go each day.

“Hide it under a bushel…” Jesus said we should put our lights on a candlestick to give light to all of those in the house. Not just some, but all in the house! There is no selectivity in choosing those who see our lights. There is a consistency of character that is determined, not by the audience, but by our moral fiber. Men in darkness may hate the light (John 3:19-20), but we are not “secret” Christians.

“Don’t let Satan…” put it out. Paul says that we wrestle against “the god of this age” “blinded” those who are unbelievers (2 Cor. 4:4) and this god will do all he can to keep our lights hidden “…lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them” (4:4). Far too many Christians have let Satan hide their lights under a bushel.

“I’m gonna let it shine, let it shine, let it shine.” Shining our lights demands we make a firm decision about what we are “gonna” do! Have you faithfully done this? Perhaps we should not have forgotten the words of this song. It may not be a children’s song after all!
