    When Scripture speaks----God speaks!!!

    Although I agree somewhat with Helen's statement concerning the infallability of the original manuscripts-----taken for granted that none of us will ever be able to put his or her hands ON those originals---we must---we must---we must---preach and teach the Scriptures we hold in our hands as infallable, inspired, and inerrant!!!

    When Scripture that you read daily speaks----God Speaks!!!!! Scripture spoke infallabily and inerrantly to Pharoah----and the same Scripture still speaks infallabily and inerrantly to us!!!!!

    "So say on, Scripture! Say on!!! Because when you(Scripture) speak---God speaks!!!!!!"

    Amen, Brother Blackbird -- Preach it! :thumbs:

    I can be sure that the HCSB (Christian Standard Bible
    /Holman, 2003/ ) Scripture I hold in my hand is the authoritative
    Word of God, infallibile, inspired, and inerrant.

    I haven't gone back and read all the posts so I hope I'm not repeating anything.

    AMEN! to David's post!:thumbsup:

    2 Timothy 3:16-17 is a favorite passage of mine. Can you imagine if verse 16 read something like this:

    "Most Scripture is partially God-breathed and profitable(usually)for teaching(except where wrong), rebuking (assuming you are certain you have the authority), correcting(when you find the inerrent parts), and training in righteousness(unless it concerns sexist and culturally prejudiced moralizing)so that the man of God may(possibly)be thoroughly equipped for most good works.":tonofbricks:
    Source-"Ready with an Answer"-Page313(It contains an excellent chapter on Biblical Inerrancy)

    If you continue in this vein, you end up with a "Jesus Seminar" Bible. A mangled mess of nothing.:BangHead:

    Isn't it amazing that only years ago when someone said, "I believe in the inspiration of the Bible the meaning was understood?

    Only five years ago, I used to make the statement:
    "I believe the Bible is the divinely inspired, inerrant, authoritative word of God.

    Now?:
    "I believe in the verbal, plenary, infallible, inerrant, unlimited inspiration of the Bible."

    Where does the madness stop?

    I believe the scriptures are true and accurate in accordance with the Chicago Statement on Biblical Innerancy :wavey:

    Thanks for your post.

    But, I gotta ask, because the only people I have heard call him the anti-christ were mormons, where did that come from?

    In Christ,

    Football, pizza, and inerrency

    Posted by Lions84
    Well, I know that the Bears are in Chicago, and IMHO I think they will go to the Superbowl this year(so will the colts).:smilewinkgrin: The first time since 1986. Remember the video?...and Chicago has good pizza. But, I'm not familiar with the Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrency. Could you give me some details or a link?:)

    Can the Word of God have error?

    If the Word of God is divinely inspired, it would have to be inerrent, because God does not make errors.

    the Chicago Statement on Inerrancy is considered the standard evangelical statement on the issue. Here is a link via the Southeastern Seminary web-site.

    If we believe that the very Word of God is His testimony to us His Church

    . . . and that very Word of God tells us to go into the highways and biways

    . . . and invite those we find to the wedding feast

    . . . do we believe if we do not GO?

    the oldests versions of the Bible don't even have the name of God correct, as the Religuous leaders fealt that his name was too pure to be spoken, so they altered the enunciation and spelling even. So how can our Bibles be inerrant when we can't even call Him the right name?

    Actually . . . they did not misspell His name (baruch hashem)

    If you knew half of what you claim, then tell me what baruch hashem means . . .

    ;)

    God and His Word are without error.

    I heard David Jeremiah say it, or i exprapolated. Either way we'll never have the true scriptures until the revelation. I will never trust Human actions or words.

    Tho't so . . . it is always amazing how little so many experts know . . .

    David Jeremiah?

    Well, I guess, based upon YOUR data, he might poorly educated . . .

    ;)

    Our of respect for the name of God, (blessed name) they (Jews) did not record the vowels when they began keeping record of vowel pointing . . . that was a thousand or more years after the OT first recorded His (blessed name) - got any idea what Baruch Hashem means, yet?

    The tetragrammaton . . . more can be found at: http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/rs/2/Judaism/name/

    Ya' coulda asked . . .
