What The Bible Says
Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice
“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ,...” (2Pet 1:16). At the end of the day, the thing that really matters is what the Lord GOD has had written down for us in an infallible, inerrant, verbally inspired, preserved forever, unrevised record, the Word of God. It's like in BC 1520, when God's perfect and upright servant, Job, said, “Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were printed in a book! (Job 19:23), God took the suggestion and ran with it. “And the LORD said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book, and rehsearse it ... And the priest shall write these curses in a book,... Isaiah, Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever:... Thus speaketh the LORD God of Israel, saying, Write thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee in a book.... So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon... I John, who also am your brother, ... was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book,...” (Ex 17:14, Nu 5:23, Isa 30:8, Jer 30:2, 51:60, Re 1:9-11) We have, in a book, a more sure word of prophecy; more sure than an eyewitness, more sure than actually seeing God's majesty, more sure than a voice from heaven! (2Pet 1:15-21). Why would anyone use a man made copyright revised version? “Whereunto ye do well that ye take heed...” (1:19)
