The World and the Word

      The Inerrant and Infallible Word of God

God has meticulously planned His entire creation and the history of humanity down to the tiniest detail so that He can provide salvation by grace to all He will allow to live with Him in Heaven, and He will also be able to provide a lesser form of salvation to all unbelievers who die in their sins and whom He had to confine to the regions of death when He will cause them to repent and believe in the Lamb of their own free will when He appears to them in a great worship service in the end of the world. Revelation 5:11-14; John 5:24; Isaiah 45:21-25; I Corinthians 2:7; Acts 15:18; II Timothy 1:9; Hebrews 4:3; Psalm 107:10-14.

Humans who read God's Word or hear the gospel preached can get saved by grace because they hear the Spirit of God in their hearts telling them to repent and believe in Christ who alone can save them. John 16:7-11. Humans who read or hear the Word and reject it do so because they listen to the evil influence within them, and they hear only contradictions. In both cases, God proves His Word to be inerrant and infallible. Believers saved by grace have been given the ability by the Spirit of God to tell the difference between scripture directly inspired by God and scripture written by ordinary humans that God gave to His Word through His guidance of those who wrote His Word. The Word of God accurately reports the entire condition of humanity with all of its sins, the way it reasons, and all of its emotions. The Word of God teaches about who God is, but it also reveals to humans who they are and exactly that which they need. God tells the exact truth to humans whether they believe it or not. This fact makes the Word of God inerrant and infallible. Believers guided by the Spirit can understand that the paradox recorded in Proverbs 26:4-5 means that the believer must be guided by the Holy Spirit as to whether or not to answer a fool at a time when he hears him speak foolishness. The unbeliever only sees a contradiction in Proverbs 26:4-5. In both cases, the Word of God is still inerrant and infallible. The Word will embrace believers saved by grace, but the Word will also cause unbelievers to reject God's Word because God does not want apostates in the ranks of His believers saved by grace. Nevertheless, God will save even the apostates and the rebellious with a lesser form of salvation when He appears to them in a great worship service in the end of the world. II Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:21; Ezekiel 20:25; Hebrews 8:7-8; Revelation 5:11-14; Isaiah 45:20-25; Psalm 107:10-14; Luke 3:6; I Timothy 4:10. The word "prophecy" in II Peter 1:21 means scripture given to the writers of the Bible (KJB) by direct inspiration from God, but the flaws that God allowed to be put into His Word in Ezekiel 20:25 and Hebrews 8:7-8 teaches humans that they always fail to keep their part of their covenants with God because of their sins and evil. But Psalm 89:34 teaches humans that God never fails to keep His Word because it is inerrant and infallible.
