The Bible: Is it trustworthy?

Original Source: christian-with-a-view

Is the Bible the inerrant word of God? Is the Bible trustworthy? Should the Bible be the rule for faith and practice for Christians?



Have you ever noticed that those who believe the Bible to be filled with errors and contradictions often quote from the Bible to support their denominational doctrines? Is it not disingenuous for them to state the that the Bible is not trustworthy and then use Scripture as proof of their religious beliefs?


EVEN THE DEVIL QUOTED SCRIPTURE AS BEING TRUSTWORTHY: [Matthew 4:5-7] Then the devil took Him into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, 'He will command His angels concerning You'; 'On their hands they will bear You up, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.' " Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.' "



The devil knows God written word is true. Jesus rebuked the devil for misusing Scripture, not for denying the written word of God as being untrustworthy.


[John 20:30-31] Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.


If the Bible is filled with errors and contradictions, then it has been written in vain. The apostle John said it was written that men might believe that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of God and for salvation, through believing in His name.


YOU CAN EITHER TRUST ALL OF WHAT WAS WRITTEN OR NONE OF IT. YOU CANNOT HAVE IT BOTH WAYS!


THE BIBLE IS TRUSTWORTHY!
