| All or Nothing
by Crystal Paine
I know some were a bit confused as to what I was meaning by this question. I probably could have worded it better, but I appreciate the well-thought-out points and answers everyone gave. I love thinking this over and further solidifying what I believe.
My answer: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."
This verse says "All scripture" - You must read the Bible as a whole to understand the Bible as a whole. You cannot pick and choose which parts of the Bible you will believe and which parts you will disregard, which parts are still relevant and which are irrelevant.
No, All Scripture and Only Scripture is what we must base all of our beliefs and practice upon for all of Scripture is relevant.
The Word of God is not an old-fashioned book of fairy tales that have nothing whatsoever to do with our modern day lives. It is the infallible, inerrant, unchanging, inspired, God-breathed, word of God.
All of God's Word is true-- from Genesis to Revelations. If you do not believe this, you are saying that God is a liar.
