THE DOCTRINAL STATEMENT OF FAITH
You know what is important is to what one believes
especially when it comes to true bibical christianity, the lord Jesus Christ and the gospel being the
present day bible. So I decided to look at doctrinal statements of faith. In doing so I came across an "interesting article" which I will briefly discuss below. These doctrinal statements that I read especially
the first one seems to be in line with true biblically Christianity.
DOCTRINAL STATEMENT
1. CHOSEN PEOPLES MINISTRY
3. AMERICAN PROTESTANT CHURCH
Matthew 24:35 King James Version (KJV)
"35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away."
I came across
this article when researching
and I found it interesting and challenging. The article is very profound but
when researching more I realize that Don Stewart gave a great feedback and
profound defense of the articles suggestions on his writing concerning such a
matter. It is true Jesus Christ is the word of God. The important thing is do
people know whom the person of Jesus Christ "really" is and do they
believe the doctrinal applications of true Biblical Christianity as written in
the living inspired word of God being the Bible.
In the article one persons partial response is interesting and as quoted...
"And, I think, they're also
trying to establish a principle by which one can avoid errors about Jesus. For
of course one risk is always "making God in our own image"; i.e.
inventing an imaginary Jesus only distantly related to the actual Person, and
worshiping THAT."
"So by establishing
the Bible as their source for coming to know Who Jesus Is, they are trying to
provide a data-set to which they can have recourse, if someone comes 'round
selling a false Jesus as the real thing. By comparison to the data-set, they
hope to sort out the counterfeits from the authentic Christ."
Great thinking and
response above as quoted. Ever hear the phrase "don't put God in a
box". People misunderstand/mis-use that. The bible tells us things revealed are
only a shadow of things to come most likely referring to the afterlife in The
Kingdom of God. Some people use that phrase to say all born again Christians
have the power to heal people. There is something called dispensationalism in
biblical studies and I think Justine Peters looks at this issue with a level
head. Not to say that God cannot heal as he can/does but it’s by his will. This is a study in of its self.
The devil deceives people as to WHOM the person of
Jesus Christ really is!!!! And the bible tells us to "prove" all things. Jesus was Jewish and not a pagan or Idol worshipper. As I said before he gave us solid revelation as to NOT be deceived but the world truly is. There is a saying that "The Bible proves its self." True!! The word of God is TRUTH. There are a couple of important links when questions arise and they are http://coldcasechristianity.com & http://rzim.org Both of these link authors are profound in
Christianity investigations and apologetics.
The article in question & interest basically said the
bible should not be made into a Idol and realize God is above the inerrancy claimed by Christian
Churches. And the argument/rebuttals are profound as well. The bible is TRUE
and people should read the bible. Salvation is a free gift that no man can
boast but there needs to be a profession of faith and a repentance and belief
on the gospel.
Just in case you may be puzzled regarding Biblical inerrancy see below....
What is Biblical inerrancy? "Biblical inerrancy is the belief that the Bible
"is without error or fault in all its teaching"; or, at least, that
"Scripture in the original manuscripts does not affirm anything that is
contrary to fact". Some equate inerrancy with biblical infallibility;
others do not."
Here are a couple of links that may help you understand Bibical Inerrancy below.
