The World and the Word

         The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

What is God's Word? God's Word happens to be more than the written Word of God. Psalm 19:1-6 clearly teaches that all of God's creations declare His Word. Verse two reveals that God's creations "uttereth speech," and verse four equates His creations with "words." God's Word goes out to the world in His creations as well as His written Word. God created absolutely every positive creation. Revelation 4:11.

Romans 1:19-20 teaches that God can be clearly seen as being the Creator of all things. God's Word in His creations demonstrates that His creations are designed. God patterned His creations on the invisible Infinite Set of Perfect Ideas in His own Mind. The Logos is Christ who is One in being with His Father. John 1:1; John 10:30. All of God's creations indicate His existence. True science and mathematics now indicate that God exists. The universe has been fine tuned to a mathematical precision that allows life to exist. The mathematics that results from quantum mechanics indicates that an Infinite Mind must exist. True science and mathematics belong to God, and He has made them a part of His perfect Word that now speaks to humans.

Scientific atheists have invented many intricate but false arguments that creation may look designed, but it is not. According to them, it all just happened by chance. Blind evolution just proceeds by chance, although mathematical calculations have proven that idea to be impossible. Darwin himself made this argument. Only their stubborn hostility to God causes them to reject the overwhelming evidence that creation looks designed because it is, in fact, designed. Romans 1:21-32.

God made all of His creations to be "very good." Genesis 1:31. But when Satan introduced sin and evil into God's creations, then they became flawed by its influence. Romans 8:20. Only God's creations became flawed, not the inerrant and infallible Living Word of God who is Christ. John 1:1. The written Word of God contains flaws because it was written by fallible humans. Nevertheless, the written Word of God remains inerrant and infallible because God based it on His Perfect Set of Ideas who is Christ. The written Word of God cannot be less than inerrant and infallible because it teaches the inerrant and infallible truth that all humans have become fallible because of sin and evil even as they write the Word of God. Hebrews 8:7-9; Ezekiel 20:25. God allowed sinful humans to write flaws into His Word, but that fact does not diminish the inerrant and infallible written Word in the least.

God based His written Word on the inerrant and infallible Living Word who is Christ. This fact means that in symbolic form the written Word must bear the sins and evils of fallen humans just as Christ bore the sins and evils of all humans on His cross. But just as Christ rose victorious over all sins and evils from the dead, so the written Word of God emerges as inerrant and infallible because God's Love written in His Word covers and eliminates all sin and evil. Proverbs 10:12; I Corinthians 13:7-8; I Peter 4:8.
