I think the bible is...
I want to review the stuff I believe about the bible because there are some that attack this stuff.
The Holy Scriptures
We teach that the Bible is God’s written revelation to man, and thus the 66 books of the Bible given to us by the Holy Spirit constitute the plenary (inspired equally in all parts) Word of God (1 Cor. 2:7–14; 2 Pet. 1:20,21).
1 God wrote the bible and only the bible is Gods words to us.
2 The bible is the only and final word of God. No other revalation is to make the bible less; It is truth and alone is to be faith.
We teach that the Word of God is an objective, propositional revelation (1 Cor. 2:13; 1 Thess. 2:13), verbally inspired in every word (2 Tim. 3:16), absolutely inerrant in the original documents, infallible, and God-breathed. We teach the literal, grammatical-historical interpretation of Scripture, which affirms the belief that the opening chapters of Genesis present creation in six literal days (Gen. 1:31; Ex. 31:17).
1 The word of God is whole truth.
2 No mistakes are found in the bible ever.
3 The world is made how the bible said it was.
A six days
b God spoke and it was
c Jesus is the theme and the way of salvation is in the bible.
We teach that the Bible constitutes the only infallible rule of faith and practice (Matt. 5:18; 24:35; John 10:35; 16:12,13; 17:17; 1 Cor. 2:13; 2 Tim. 3:15–17; Heb. 4:12; 2 Pet. 1:20,21).
1 No other matter is made in faith if not in the bible.
2 No rule is made by tradition of man because God made man and God rules over them
3 If the bible said it we do it
4 If its not in the bible forget it we do not do it
We teach that God spoke in His written Word by a process of dual authorship. The Holy Spirit so superintended the human authors that, through their individual personalities and different styles of writing, they composed and recorded God’s Word to man (2 Pet. 1:20,21) without error in the whole or in the part (Matt. 5:18; 2 Tim. 3:16).
1 No error are in the bible. It means what it said
2 God directed the writing of the bible. God used the men to say what he wanted.
3 the bible is perfect no mistakes
We teach that, whereas there may be several applications of any given passage of Scripture, there is but one true interpretation. The meaning of Scripture is to be found as one diligently applies the literal, grammatical-historical method of interpretation under the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit (John 7:17; 16:12–15; 1 Cor. 2:7–15; 1 John 2:20). It is the responsibility of believers to ascertain carefully the true intent and meaning of Scripture, recognizing that proper application is binding on all generations. Yet the truth of Scripture stands in judgment of men; never do men stand in judgment of it.
1 1 It is YOUR job to know the bible and obey it. Not a pastors Job your responsible to study out the words and do them.
2 the meaning is for the saved only. If your not saved and born again your never going to have the truth given to you until you repent.
3 If your not saved your reading the bible is fruitless and not right. God might give it to you but it is his mind not yourselves
