SEEKING TRUTH BY STEVE FINNELL
If seeking God's truth is your goal, what avenue would you take. What would be your source for the truth?
WOULD IT BE?
A. Prayer and studying the Scriptures?
B. Reading the books written by these
men Bishop Sheen, Billy Graham, C.S. Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart, John
Calvin, Martin Luther, Alexander Campbell, John Wesley, Robert Schuller,
Oral Roberts, Rick Warren, Benny Hinn, Max Lucado, Charles H. Spurgen,
Paul Washer, John MacAthur, Joel Osteen, T. D. Jakes, Joseph Smith Jr.,
Chuck Swindoll etc.C. Read creed books, the Book of Mormon, catechism, statements of faith etc.
B. and C. do not contain the infallible word of God. Why would you search for truth there?
GOD'S WORD IS TRUTH!
2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed,accurately handling the word of truth.
In order to accurately handle the truth you need to study the source for the truth. THE BIBLE AND THE BIBLE ALONE IS THE ONLY TRUSTWORTHY SOURCE FOR THE TRUTH.
THE APOSTLE'S WORDS WERE TRUTH!
1 Thessalonians 2:13 For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.
Paul said their word was God's word. Paul and the rest of the apostles received their words directly from Jesus and the Holy Spirit.
Why would believers in Christ be willing to put their trust in mere men? That is puzzling, at best.
ALL SCRIPTURE IS INSPIRED BY GOD.(2 Timothy 3:16)
THE LISTS B. AND C. ARE NOT PRODUCING SCRIPTURE!
SEEKING TRUTH?----BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU SEEK!
