The Bible is The Inerrant Word From God
The idea for Christian Bible Study Guides began several years ago. I have been a Student of the Bible most of my adult life. During my late teens and twenties, I found rebellion to be more to my liking than attending church regularly. My family was very disciplined to attend church whenever the doors opened. But, for me, during my early adult years I experienced life from many anti-family perspectives, places, as well as in opposition to my Lord and Savior. A deviation I now deeply regret.However, it was this rebellious period in my life that brought me short lived pleasure and a eventually led to a challenge from me to God. During this time, I questioned whether or not the Bible was and remains the Inerrant Word of God. For me this was especially true for the Christian Bible in English.
A debate about authenticity or accuracy started soon after England's King James authorized the Bishop, Rasmussen and 45 other committee members to translate the Bishop's Bible (Roman Catholic) into English in about 1604 A.D. That controversy continues with us today. (We will return to the historical details of the creation of the KJB at a later date. It was the third translation of Scripture in English.)
However, regardless of the debate and whether they are anything more than interesting speculation and assumptions should be left up to the individual to ferret out with "knee time with God (better known as prayer time)." 2 Corinthians 3:12-16, confirms that God has fulfilled His promises from Jeremiah 31:31-34 and will remove the veil from our heart and share with us His true meaning of scripture. From that revelation alone we should be comfortable in our faith that the Bible (in English or in any other language) is the inerrant word of God. God directed those who wrote the words given to them (I Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21). God has also protected the word at each successive translation since (yes, even those I dislike).
My Brother in Christ, John MacArthur, was the speaker at the Master's College on this very subject. Brother MacArthur's research is thorough and complete. There are 5 videos produced from these lectures and can be viewed at the following link: CLICK HERE
Bible Study Topics materials are frequently searched for and used in home or church bible studies. We know now that every Christian has an equal opportunity to be taught by God through His Holy Spirit. Too often we attempt to pass that off to someone who has a credential (ordination), or is perceived to know more. For me this is very disheartening. I believe each person should engage in their salvation (a guarantee that is coming for all who have saving faith) with fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12-13). Which does not include giving someone other than yourself the final decision about whether or not you are living saving faith.
When you reach that plane of understanding about your personal value to God and His promise to instruct you, then you may go forward without requiring persuasion from any other person and rely only on the Holy Spirit. When you ask, believing you will receive, God through the Holy Spirit will inform you of God's intention and meaning. There may be a period of doubt, but truth will win out when you have Saving Faith.
