IF YOU DO NOT READ THE DICTIONARY, YOU MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR WITH THE WORD INFALLIBILITY; THEREFORE LET ME GIVE YOU THE DEFINITION OF "INFALLIBILITY" ACCORDING TO THE DICTIONARY IN MY COMPUTER. INFALLIBILITY IS DEFINED AS, 1. incapable of error. 2. not liable to mislead, deceive, or disappoint. SAINTS OF GOD, I BELIEVE THAT THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, IS INCAPABLE OF ERROR. THESE SCRIPTURES ARE WHAT I BASE MY OPINION ON. 2Tm:3:16: All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 2Tm:3:17: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.(KJV) I BELIEVE THAT AS THE SCRIPTURES APPEAR TODAY IN THE HOLY BIBLE. IS THE WAY THAT THEY WILL APPEAR WHEN WE STAND BEFORE GOD. IN THE DAY, THAT JESUS CHRIST JUDGES MEN ACCORDING TO THE GOSPEL. RECORDED BY APOSTLE ST. PAUL. Rom:2:14: For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: Rom:2:15: Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) Rom:2:16: In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. BELOVED OF GOD, MANY MEN WILL PROBABLY USE AS THIER DEFENSE FOR THEIR TRANSGRESSIONS, WHEN STAND BEFORE JESUS CHRIST ON JUDGMENT DAY; IGNORANCE OF THE LAWS OF GOD. BUT IT IS MY BELIEF THAT NOT SYSTEM OF LAW COULD BE EFFECTIVE IF IT ALLOWED IGNORANCE TO BE A VALID FENCE. FOR MEN WOULD NOT STUDY THE LAWS, AND WHEN BROUGHT BEFORE A JUDGE FOR SOME TRANSGRESSION WOULD PLEA IGNORANCE. GOD INSPIRED THE APOSTLE PAUL TO WRITE THESE WORDS TO TIMOTHY. 2Tm:2:15: Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (KJV) BELOVED OF GOD, WHEN THE LORD GOD INSPIRED HIS APOSTLES AND PROPHETS TO RECORD CERTAIN WORDS IN THE HOLY SCRIPTURES, THE WORDS BECAME LAW. WHAT IS LAW? LAWS ARE RULES OF CONDUCT SAT FORTH BY AUTHORITY. WHAT IS AUTHORITY? AUTHORITY IS ONE THAT HAS THE POWER TO GIVE COMMANDS, DEMAND OBEDIENCE, AND PUNISH THE TRANSGRESSORS. AND, THE LAWS OF GOD CANNOT BE ALTERED, CANNOT BE CHANGED. IN THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE THAT I AM ABOUT TO READ, JESUS IS SPEAKING TO THE JEWS, AND FOR WHAT HE HAS SAID, THEY ARE ABOUT TO STONE HIM. NOTICE THAT JESUS SAYS THAT THE SCRIPTURES, CANNOT BE BROKEN. Jn:10:33: The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jn:10:34: Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? Jn:10:35: If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Jn:10:36: Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? CHILDREN OF LIGHT, IN THE DAYS OF DANIEL, THE PROPHET, THE LAWS OF THE MEDES, AND THE PERSIANS COULD NOT BE CHANGED, NOR ALTERED. I READ THESE VERSES OF SCRIPTURE TO INFORM YOU OF THE SERIOUSNESS, OF TRANSGRESSING A LAW THAT CANNOT BE ALTERED. Dn:6:5: Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Dn:6:6: Then these presidents and princes assembled together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Darius, live for ever. Dn:6:7: All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions. Dn:6:8: Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Dn:6:9: Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree. Dn:6:10: Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house; and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Dn:6:11: Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. Dn:6:12: Then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree; Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Dn:6:13: Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Dn:6:14: Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him. Dn:6:15: Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed. Dn:6:16: Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. COME INTO THIS KNOWLEDGE, SAINTS OF GOD, MEN CAN CHANGE THEIR LIVES TO BE OBEDIENT TO THE LAWS OF GOD. BUT THE SCRIPTURES WILL NOT CHANGE. HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A FOOTBALL PLAYER, WITH GREAT EFFORT CARRY THE FOOTBALL ACROSS THE GOAL LINE, ONLY TO HAVE THE REFEREE THROW A YELLOW FLAG TO THE GROUND. INDICATING THAT THERE HAD BEEN SOME INFRACTION OF THE RULES. AND, THE MAN THAT HAD CARRIED THE BALL ACROSS THE GOAL LINE, HAD RUN IN VAIN. FOR A PERSON TO RECEIVE THE CROWN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS HE MUST LIVE ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF GOD. 2Tm:2:5: And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. (KJV) HOLY CHILDREN, THE BIBLE, THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD, IS ACTUALLY TO WILLS, TWO TESTAMENTS. IF A MAN MAKES TWO WILLS, AND THEN DIES; IT IS ONLY THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT THAT IS IN FORCE. THEREFORE SINCE THE DEATH OF CHRIST JESUS, THE NEW TESTAMENT IS IN FORCE. THE OLD TESTAMENT IS HISTORY, AND PROPHECY. Heb:9:15: And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. Heb:9:16: For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. Heb:9:17: For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth. LISTEN CAREFULLY, CHILD OF GOD, AFTER A MAN HAS MAKE HIS LAST WILL, AND TESTAMENT, AND THEN DIES. IF ANY MAN SHALL ADD A WORD, OR WORDS, TO THE TESTAMENTS, OR TAKE A WORD OR WORDS FROM THE TESTAMENT. IT VOIDS THE TESTAMENT. IF ANY MAN ADDS A WORD, OR WORDS TO THE TESTAMENT OF JESUS CHRIST, GOD SHALL ADD TO HIM THE PLAGUES THAT ARE RECORDED THEREIN. IF ANY MAN SHALL REMOVE A WORD, OR WORDS FROM THE TESTAMENT; GOD SHALL REMOVE HIS NAME FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE. Rv: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: Rv: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. BROTHERS, AND SISTERS IN CHRIST, IN MY OPINION, THERE IS NO MAN THAT CAN REWORD EVERY VERSE OF SCRIPTURE IN THE BIBLE, AND KEEP THE MEANING THE SAME. IT IS THE LORD'S WILL THAT NOTHING IS TO BE ADDED TO THE SCRIPTURES, NOR ANY THING TAKEN FROM THE SCRIPTURES. LISTEN AS I READ FROM THE OLD TESTAMENT WHAT GOD INSPIRED MOSES' TO RECORD CONCERNING THE HOLY COMMANDMENTS. Dt:4:1: Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. Dt:4:2: Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you. BELOVED OF GOD, THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE MOSES' WAS IN FORCE, VALID, UNTIL JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS, SINCE THAT TIME THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS PREACHED, AND MEN ARE PRESSED INTO IT. Lk:16:16: The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (KJV) CHRISTIAN BRETHREN, YOU MAY WONDER WHY THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS WRITTEN? THE OLD TESTAMENT WAS OUR SCHOOL MASTER TO BRING US UNTO CHRIST. BUT SINCE CHRIST JESUS HAS COME, WE ARE TO SHAPE OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT, AND USE THE OLD TESTAMENT AS HISTORY, AND PROPHESY. Gal:3:23: But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Gal:3:24: Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. Gal:3:25: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal:3:26: For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. THERE ARE MEN THAT WILL TRY TO DRAG YOU BACK UNDER THE LAW THAT GOD GAVE TO MOSES'. BUT, THAT LAW IS KNOWN AS THE LAW OF SIN, AND DEATH. FOR THE LAW OF MOSES' HAD TO BE KEPT TO THE LETTER. Rom:7:6: But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter. (KJV) DURING THE DAYS OF THE APOSTLE PAUL, THERE WERE MEN THAT CAME DOWN FROM JERUSALEM THAT PREACHED, EXCEPT A MAN BE CIRCUMCISED, AND KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES THEY COULD NOT BE SAVED. PAUL AND BARNABUS, DISAGREED WITH THEM, AND THEY DECIDED TO GO UP TO JERUSALEM TO DISCUSS THIS MATTER WITH THE APOSTLES, AND ELDERS OF THE CHURCH. AFTER MUCH DISCUSSION THE APOSTLE PETER ROSE UP, AND SAID THESE WORDS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF, Acts:15:7: And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. Acts:15:8: And God, which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost, even as he did unto us; Acts:15:9: And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith. Acts:15:10: Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? Acts:15:11: But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they. 1877 AND, IF A MAN DID NOT KEEP THE LAW OF MOSES' TO THE LETTER, HE WENT UNDER THE CURSE; OR A SENTENCE OF CONDEMNATION. BELOVED, YOU MAY WONDER WHY MEN PUT TESTAMENTS, AND CONTRACTS, IN WRITING. IT IS BECAUSE ONE WORD IN WRITING, PROPERLY WITNESSED, WILL CONTRADICT TEN THOUSAND WITNESSES. MANY MEN, CHILDREN OF SATAN, ARE PRINTING MULTITUDES OF DIFFERENT TRANSLATIONS OF THE BIBLE. AND THESE TRANSLATIONS DO NOT AGREE WITH THE HOLY BIBLE. THE APOSTLE PETER RECORDED THESE WORDS CONCERNING SOME MEN HANDLING OF THE SCRIPTURES. 2Pt:3:16: As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. (KJV) AS FOR ME, HOLY CHILDREN, I USE THE KING JAMES TRANSLATION OF THE BIBLE AS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. I USE THE OLD TESTAMENT AS HISTORY, AND PROPHESY. BUT, I BELIEVE THAT WE ARE TO SHAPE OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT. FOR IT IS BY THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT WE SHALL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO DECIDE WHAT YOU WILL USE AS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST? IT IS TO AVOID HERESY, LIES, AND HALF TRUTHS. TO DETERMINE GOOD, AND EVIL, TO DETERMINE TRUTH FROM WHAT IS FICTION. BEFORE GOD INSPIRED KING JAMES TO TRANSLATE THE BIBLE INTO ENGLISH. WE, AS ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE, WERE IN A TIME KNOWN AS THE DARK AGES. BUT, NOW WE CAN READ THE SCRIPTURES FOR OURSELVES. IF YOU WILL RECALL, THAT DIFFERENT POPES, SENT MEN INTO THE HOLY LAND TO FIGHT, AND KILL MEN. AND, THESE MEN THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE DOING GOD'S WILL. BUT IN REALITY, IT WAS GOD'S WILL THAT THEY, AS CHILDREN OF GOD, LIVE AT PEACE WITH ALL MEN. WHEN CHRIST JESUS THE PRINCE OF PEACE WAS BORN, THE ANGELS COME SAYING, Lk:2:14: Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. I BELIEVE THAT IT WAS AT THIS TIME THAT GOD CALLED ALL OF HIS CHILDREN TO PEACE. MULTITUDES OF MEN BELIEVE THAT THE POPE, THE BISHOP OF ROME, IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. AND, WHEN HE SITS IN HIS SEAT, AS PASTOR, AND TEACHER, IN THINGS PERTAINING TO FAITH, AND ETHICS, THAT HE IS INFALLIBLE. MULTITUDES OF MEN BELIEVE THAT THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. AND THEY SHAPE THEIR LIVES ACCORDING TO THE LAW OF MOSES' AND THE PROPHETS. BUT, AS FOR ME. I BELIEVE THAT THE NEW TESTAMENT IS THE AUTHORITY UNDER CHRIST. THE LAW, AND THE PROPHETS WERE VALID FOR RIGHTEOUS LIVING, UNTIL JOHN THE BAPTIST CAME PREACHING IN THE WILDERNESS. Lk:16:16: The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. (KJV)
