The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God
When Jesus walked the earth, He often displayed compassion for sins of weakness such as the woman at the well, the woman caught in adultery, and the maniac of Gadara. But He displayed anger with the Pharisees and Sadducees who deliberately distorted God's Word in order to flaunt their self-righteousness and to justify their oppression of their fellow Jews. Total evil happens to be the same as spiritual death which God will separate from all living humans for Him to cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:11-15; I Corinthians 3:11-15. But God will eventually bring all living humans, created in His image and purged of spiritual death, back to repentance and faith and reconciliation with Him of their own free will that will display a true and real love for Him. God creates His living image that He puts into all humans to be good which means it must contain a latent faith and love for Him which God knows how to reawaken. Genesis 1:31. God will prove that His Love cannot fail. I Corinthians 13:8; Colossians 1:15-23; John 5:24; Revelation 5:11-14.
Even in God's description of total evil in Romans 1:19-32, He made no mention of casting living humans into an eternal lake of fire. Even when Jesus rebuked the evil Jews in John 8:19-24, He said nothing about casting their living souls and spirits into an eternal lake of fire. Jesus knew that one day in the future He will cause all living humans confined to the regions of death to repent and believe of their own free will so that He can resurrect them for Him to recreate to live on His new earth. Revelation 20:5; Revelation 5:11-14; Revelation 21:1-5; Psalm 107:10-14; Isaiah 45:20-25.
God never gets dismayed over the power of sin and evil. God has full confidence in Himself that He can handle it. John 17:1-4. Sometimes Christians, because of a weakness in their faith, give to much credit to the power of the Devil and evil. God even allowed fallible humans to write flaws into His inerrant and infallible Word, such as Moses' allowance of divorce, to prove that He holds all power over sin and evil even when sinful men write it into His Word. Hebrews 8:7-13; Ezekiel 20:25. God's constant proof in His Word that He holds all power over sin and evil, and His constant promises that He will always keep His part of every covenant makes His Word inerrant and infallible. Psalm 89:34; John 17:1-4; Luke 20:38. God's Almighty Love is His inerrant and infallible Word. I Corinthians 13:8; Ecclesiastes 3:14.
God's Love is Almighty and Infinite. I Corinthians 13:8; Psalm 147:5. Nothing can be added to or subtracted from the Infinite. God's Almighty Love is the same as Infinity. Ecclesiastes 3:14. Infinity is that which can never fail. I Corinthians 13:8. Evil results from an attempt to add to or subtract from God's Infinite Love. But the bulk of all evil, although huge, can only be finite, and the Infinite always overwhelms and overpowers the finite. The finite can attempt to reduce the Infinite to the finite which is the essence of evil. But God's Infinite Love always wins. I Corinthians 13:8.
