A Challenge for 2007: Be Guided by the Bible

Dr. Jack Graham

PowerPoint Ministries

There is a critical war being waged in our world as we enter the new year. I’m not talking about the war on terror, or even a war being fought with weapons. I’m talking about a war of a completely different kind.

 

This war is a war over the Word of God. It’s a battle for the Bible. And this battle is being fought with questions like:

 

Is the Bible a word of God… or the Word of God? 

Is the Bible a miraculous book… or a man-made book? 

Is the Bible the record of God’s revelation to man… or a record of men concerning God? 

 

Questions like these are certainly being debated in the secular world today. Yet these debates aren’t limited to our secular culture… they are heating up in evangelical and Bible-believing churches and circles all around us!

 

Now, you may ask, “Pastor, why are you making such a big deal out of this? How does this really affect my day-to-day life as a Christian?”

 

I’m glad you asked!

 

We live in a generation where truth is up for grabs. Nothing is black and white anymore. Everything is subject to societal and cultural interpretation. There is no absolute truth! And as a result, many people - and sadly, many Christians - have no real authority in their lives, no real basis for truth and guidance.

But I believe there is a more compelling reason to believe that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God. It is found in Matthew 5:18-19 when Jesus gave the Sermon on the Mount. Here, Jesus lets us know what He believes about the Bible.

It was going to be another 300 years approximately before the bible as we know was going to be compiled. Paul was yet to write his letters, the gospels had not been written etc.
The bible is unlikely to be "the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God" because there are errors in it. A simple search with google will give you plenty of lists to look at. The argument that the bible is the word of God because it says so is a circular or self referencing argument. People that use the bible in the way that the article suggests are open to self deception because they they miss the obvious whilst looking for miracles. Look at the sermens of Benny Hinn for example
