Doctrines Concerning

The Bible

A. The Bible consisting of the sixty-six canonical books of the Old and New Testaments is the complete, verbal, plenary inspired Word of God.

Pertinent Scripture:

1Co 13:8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1Co 13:9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

1Co 13:10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

 

2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

 

Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Personal Opinion:

It does look like I should believe, and if pressed for an opinion, I would have to say the Bible is complete and perfect.

Perfect in that it is just the way God wants it to be for me.

Who am I to say I need or deserve more word , less ambiguity, greater historical, scientific, or more moral instructions.

God must be trusted to have seen to it that his word has come down to me in just the right words and completeness to allow me no wiggle room to claim ignorance of his will for me.

Does everyone in the world have differing needs?

Maybe so, but God being infinitely just and loving, I have faith, has met each individual with exactly the proper word - proper in that each is left with the same equal opportunity to either accept or reject God's word.
