God's Unaltered Word

Good Morning!! The Word of God is a unified and faultless, body of truth,...It cannot be broken. As Jesus reminded His audience; It cannot be properly taught or accepted in parts. It cannot be broken up, in order to pit one verse or truth against another,...they all stand or fall together. The same word "broken" is used in the book of Acts when a congregation "broke up", after a meeting. (13:43) Each person went his or her own way, without regard to the others in the crowd. Jesus says the Scripture is not like this,...not a single verse goes astray from the rest, or expresses truth apart from the rest.

If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?—John 10:35-36  

On the other hand, almost every major cult or aberration of orthodox Christianity, has come out of affirming one part of Scripture, while denying or ignoring the rest. This always produces lop-sided theology. It's only by taking a careful and thorough "analogy of the faith", that we come to a well-rounded, accurate understanding of God's message to, and for us. Is this how your read the Bible? Is this how you study the Bible? Do you pick favorite verses, or "pet" texts, in order to shape your opinions of God, and His Word, or do you perform the hard work of systematic exegesis in order to grow in grace, and in the understanding of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?

The Bible is perfect and whole,...but it's only perfect, when it is whole.

The scripture cannot be broken, so the ones who wrest the scriptures,...bending, twisting God's Word,
...do so to their own destruction.(2 Peter 3:16)

"Being a disciple of Christ means agreeing to take on His priorities, agendas, and missions, as our own."
