The Bible Has the Answers

I once sat in a church gathering many years ago when I was a baby Christian and my husband was newly saved.

The preacher held the Bible above his head and said these words;

"The answers to all of life's problems are not in this book and the answers to all of life's problems are not Jesus Christ."

There had been an argument about the use of psychology in the church, he was answering that charge with his answer.

This foolish man was saying that man can know better than God about the answers to life.

We walked away from that church and never returned. Even as new believers we know that was heresy.

So many preachers are not saying what that preacher said, but they are living as though they believe it.

When someone negates the truth of the Bible, as well as explains away it's passages so as to promote disobedience against it, then they might as well have said the words; "I don't believe the Bible."

It is the Holy Spirit that teaches us, He is our guide not human wisdom.

John 16:13 "However when He, the Spirit of Truth, is come, He will guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak from Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak; and He will show you things to come."

1 John 2:27 "27 And as for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But just as His true and genuine anointing teaches you about all things, so remain in Him as you have been taught."

Hebrews 4:12 "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

2 Timothy 3:16-17 "For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart."

Psalm 119:1-5 "Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path."

but the word of our God will stand forever."

Matthew 7:24 "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock."

Psalm 18:30 "This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him."
