TESTIMONY OF CHRIST TO THE INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE

TESTIMONY OF CHRIST TO THE INSPIRATION OF THE BIBLE

Christ Always Assumes that Scripture is of God and Hence Final in Authority

Mark 7:9-13 Moses said (8) Commandments, the word of God (13)

"And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. For Moses said, Honor thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death: But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free. And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother; Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye."

 

Men today are doing the same with God's word saying that is your interpretation and such like so they can bend the Words of God to make their present conduct which they deem is proper and God honoring. High and lofty intellects that are far above yours so honor their interpretation. God is too clear on the issues that they promote. Science has made tremendous inroads gaining credibility with their own faith statements on the origination of this world and mankind spreading creation out over millions of years. Jesus said in one OT quote that Adam and Eve were there at the beginning. There goes one of the faith statements concerning millions of years that the scientists use to gain a foothold over the 6th day work of Jesus. This is Truth's interpretation. Want to call Him a Liar?

"And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female," Matt. 19:4.
