God Breathed!

1Thessalonians; 2:13
(For this reason we also thank God without ceasing, because when you received the word of God which you heard form us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively works in you who believe.)

There are many people who try to explain away the truths of the Word of God by saying it is fallible. They will try to point out how the different writers of Scripture described the same events in different words. This is because God didn't dictate the Gospels to them but used their unique writing skills to present it to us in Scripture. If all four Gospels were written exactly identical, then there would have been no reason for more than one.

God doesn't make mistakes and His Word is infallible. All the writers of the Bible were inspired by God. The Holy Spirit worked through each writer using their individual styles to communicate His message to mankind
Peter; 1:20-21
(knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.)
So while some try to explain away the the truths of the Word, their excuse for willful unbelief doesn't hold any value.

Most people will not enter into the kingdom of God because of their unbelief. They love this present world more than they love belief in God. Through unbelief, they are destined to end up in Hell. Belief in God is a crucial element for Salvation. You must believe in Jesus in order to be saved. Even though God has revealed Himself through creation, men still refuse to believe in Him.
Romans; 1:19-20
(because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,)
God holds all men responsible for their refusal to believe in Him even though He has revealed Himself to them through what He has made in creation.

You can read the Bible and believe it because it truly is, The Word Of God. God doesn't make mistakes and God doesn't lie. Your eternal life depends on you believing God. He has given us a way to have eternal life and that way is through His Son Jesus Christ. Start studying the Bible and believe because it is the truth from God.

God Bless You!

Was reading about Isaac and Esau. It doesn't seem right that God blessed Isaac, when he comes across as a deceiver. ( His mom too). They stole Esau's birthright and yet God allows them? YOur thoughts?
