2 Timothy 3:16-17
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
Often times, as I browse through these forums, I come across many "Christians" who constantly speak against the scriptures. For anyone here who does this, it is not only wrong, but also a hinderance to the Gospel, and is a clear sign of an immature believer.
The most common argument I hear is, "Well it was Paul, not God talking," or something along those lines. They seem to have this idea that even the disciples foolishly thought; that Paul was the least of the apostles. This is clear slander against the Lord. For who the Lord has called to go, let no man say stay. And what the Lord has spoken through man, let no one, not even an angel, rebuke.
Do you think that the apostles were any less than the prophets? No, in fact, they were greater. For the prophets spoke what was given them. But he apostles carried the name and authority of Christ to the world. And do you think that Davids Psalms came from a man who was perfect in the Lord's sight? Certainly not! But scripture is not man-breathed but God-breathed, and no Christian can argue against that without contending with the Lord himself. As Isaiah was told:
As the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return to it without watering the earth and making it flourish, so that is yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater, so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
Do not put down the scriptures given to us by the Lord through his apostles. If any one should argue in a position that clearly defies the Word, let him be ignored. Only let the Lord deal with that person. For anyone who speaks blaspheme against the Word of God calls God a liar, and Christ an insufficient teacher. This is a person who can be counted on not to give even the simplest of sound advice form the Lord. He is narrow minded and listens to the masses, not the Holy Spirit. For all have turned aside, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.
Continue to teach and encourage with the scriptures, correcting those who will openly receive the discipline that comes from the Father, and reject all who will not, for they have no place in the fellowship of the Body. The Lord bless you and keep you.
Amen.
