The World and the Word

        The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

In Hebrews 8:7-9, God admits that He allowed fallible humans to write flaws into His first covenant which is the Old Testament. This revelation agrees perfectly with Ezekiel 20:25 where God admits that He allowed fallible humans to write statutes and judgments into His Word that could not supply eternal life. In Mark 10:1-12, Jesus admitted that God allowed Moses to write a bill of divorce into God's laws even though Jesus taught that divorce is a sin. In Acts 17:28, God allowed the Apostle Paul to insert quotes from two pagan poets into His inerrant and infallible Word. In Acts 23:25-30, God allowed a letter written by a pagan to be inserted into His Holy Word. In Ezra 5:7-17, God allowed a letter written by His enemies to be inserted into His Holy Word. Nevertheless, God's written Word remains inerrant and infallible because it demonstrates by these examples the infallible truth that all humans are fallible even when God allows them to write something into His Holy Word.

Most contradictions in the Bible (KJB) result from humans' sinful nature, but God's written Word remains inerrant and infallible because it reveals to humans their sinful nature. God's contradictions in the Bible (KJB), such as in Proverbs 26:4-5, are actually paradoxes that indicates a higher truth. Believers saved by grace understand that this paradox teaches that the believer should be led by the Spirit in order to decide whether or not to answer a fool's speech. Unbelievers see only the contradiction. God designed it that way.

God allowed Moses to write a bill of divorce into His Holy Word because God has given humans the free will to choose to sin or to do right. One of the lies of the Devil is that God is dictatorial and demanding. The truth is that God freely allows humans to sin or to do right as they will. God tests His Love by allowing humans to choose to love and obey Him because that is the only true love. If God programmed humans to love Him, that would be a false system. Because God's Love is Almighty and cannot fail, He has devised a plan whereby He will cause all living humans to freely choose to repent and believe and to love Him of their own free will. All through the Bible (KJB), God displayed complete confidence in Himself that He can handle sin and evil and purge it all from His universe so that He can create a new universe wherein "dwelleth righteousness." Humans can choose to sin or to do evil as they will, but God knows how to get rid of it all and save all living humans that He created and loves forever.
