Viewing entries in
Scripture
We cannot pick and choose which aspects of God’s nature we will accept. The Scriptures are His living Word.
Some believe that their revelation goes beyond the Word of God, and that the Word is merely a partial supplement to truth. But truth divorced from the Word is not truth.
The power of sin and death was defeated on the cross and now all men are once again free to choose their destiny.
Using the Law to understand spiritual truths about the Kingdom and about Christ is not ‘mixing the Law with grace.’
How much importance do we place on the written Word of God? How important was it to God to have His Word written?
The motivation behind the premise that Scripture cannot mean more to you than it did to the original audience is simple. Certain false teachers have an agenda and Scripture gets in the way of that agenda.
So many precious believers continue to live lives of frustration, fear and worry. They have failed to renew their minds to the Word of God. They have allowed strongholds of unbelief, fear and inferiority to dominate them.
There is a growing movement in some Christian circles to establish the Bible as fallible and only an imperfect guide to knowing God and Jesus. The reasons are clear. The Bible gets in the way of the Jesus they have imagined. Nevertheless, Jesus had complete confidence and faith in the Old Testament and made sure that the minds of the disciples were opened to understand it.
