God is not man that He should lie.

The validity and credibility of the Bible has always been the prominent subject of Theological debate. It's content has come under fire time and time again. Many argue that we cannot put our faith in this "book" because it is just that--a book. I have heard it said that its reliability is virtually non-existent seeing as it was written by men. Spectacularly, God always seems to show Himself through these words that meremen have written. Although some may claim that it is inaccurate and cannot be used as fact, thefact is that God's word is His word. Imagine coming before the throne of God having read numerous theological reference books, having dedicated your life to proving that the Bible is not inerrant--only to be looked at by God and asked "SAYS WHO?" Now pardon me for failing to believe that Gods word as it is written is not His word. Granted it has been translated and rewritten hundreds of times. But don't you think that God would honor my quest for truth? Do you not believe that if I seek out revelation of His word He'll give it to me? Do you think He's willing to excuse mankind's deliberate wickedness and rebellion because man re wrote the Bible? Do you think the Lord our God is pleased with a man who doesn't trust and take Him at His word? It is impossible to me, or at least it seems impossible, to be able to serve God without having a daily connection to His word. And you who are well versed in scripture ought to know better. Do you think that at any point in time someone was praying about the Bible and suddenly the Lord appeared to them and said "man has tainted my word, you should question it. Not only that, but I command you to read books about theology and history WRITTEN BY MAN, so that you can find out more about what I actually said. Apparently Moses and Paul weren't listening to me correctly. As a matter of fact, just create a whole new doctrine."

Mercy. Mercy. Mercy. I pray mercy, and pity the fool who questions the word of God. I feel sorry for the man who thinks He knows better than God Himself. Just to be clear, God is not a respecter of person. He's not a respecter of human tradition or culture--no. God breaks the pattern of this world, He is not characterized by any less than mediocre mold that we have dreamt up for Him. Tell me, where in the Bible does it say that we need to prove it wrong? Better yet, show me where God says it is unreliable. Learn to read your Bible under the direction and inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Because God is not man that He should lie.

"If it is in the Bible, it is so. It's not even to be prayed about. It's to be received and acted upon."  Smith Wigglesworth
