Bible Question:
Somebody asked this on another forum I'm on. Does anbody have any good answers? If the men who wrote the Bible were God-inspired, why can't others be God-inspired as well? That is an excellent question...and I'm VERY surprised that none of the Christians here have responded. How about it folks? |
Bible Answer: A few verses to consider regarding the completeness of the Bible: Deut 4:1-2 4:1"And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to perform, in order that you may live and go in and take possession of the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, is giving you. 2You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. NAS Deut 12:32-13:1 32"Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it. NAS Josh 1:6-8 7Only be strong and very courageous; be careful to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, so that you may have success wherever you go. 8This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success. NAS Prov 30:6 6Do not add to His words Lest He reprove you, and you be proved a liar. NAS Matt 28:19-20 19"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. " NAS Rev 22:18-19 18I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God shall add to him the plagues which are written in this book; 19and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book. NAS God apparently does not expect to add to His own word. Additionally, several verses speak for the completeness of the disclosed master plan of God. Jude 3-4 3Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. NAS Jude 5 5Now I desire to remind you, though you know all things once for all, that the Lord, after saving a people out of the land of Egypt, subsequently destroyed those who did not believe. NAS Acts 20:27 27"For I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole purpose of God. NAS 2 Peter 3:1-2 3:1This is now, beloved, the second letter I am writing to you in which I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder, 2that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles. NAS 1 Cor 14:33 33for God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. NAS Keep praying for guidance and God will be faithful. |
