The sermon for this morning is the error of inerrancy within Christendom. Now, the scriptural definition of inerrancy is that God, the eternal Jehovah, who is otherness and dwells in eternal nowness, is infinitely above. his creation, what he has created. Yes, God has willed and inspired and breathed out the living word of 775,000 words contained in the Bible, in the 66 books of the Old and the New Testament. And he has published that to mankind to further instruct man and to glorify himself. And thus, each word is his inerrant, infallible, immutable truth from which not one jot or tittle can fail or fall. Yes, God's word is the grandmaster blueprint for his creation, for which he decreed, designed, developed, and implemented verbatim but from before eternity and long before he created this universe or created time. Now, because Jehovah is omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, he has decreed every circumstance and every action and secondary action within this time frame that we have from eternity and with every nanosecond of time where he is executing perfectly and infallibly and inherently his inerrant word to achieve his grand goal of the greater glorification of himself. Thus every action in time, space, or on earth, large or small, which he is unfolding, confirms verbatim exactly to his plan that he had designed for this earth. Yes, every unfolding in time throughout the history of this, his created universe, is simply one continuous synthesizing and unfolding of his supreme almighty will. Thus, nothing and nothing big or small can be or ever happen outside of God's will, outside of His plan expressly written in His Word. Yes, the third person of Scripture who inspired over 40 men as secondary authors to write down this His divine word inspired, inspiration which God has given to instruct all humans who remain the crown piece of His creation to know Him, to obey Him, to glorify Him, to repent before Him. For the Lord has said, to this man will I look who reads my word with trembling. Yes, he is the grand God of the Trinity for humans, unknowable except in Jesus Christ. However, the awful reality, the tragic truth is that a very large percentage of Christendom today in this wicked and perverse generation Do not truly believe in the full and complete inerrancy of scripture, nor do they faithfully apply these beliefs to their individual or church lives. Inerrancy believing means constantly believing and applying, striving to faithfully and completely apply all of scripture's words and all of scripture's principles to our individual lives. It means 100% inerrancy without the hypocrisy of inventing man's own exceptions, their caveats, their conditions, their distortions, their revisions, their reinterpretations, their assimilations, their imagining they must get with the times. And all such human inventions distort the inerrancy of the Word of God. No, the Word of God stands eternal, human beings distorted. Yes, all such human inventions and excuses constitute inerrancy, unbelief, which is so rampantly evident and well documented by many research documents within Christendom and in individual Christian lives today. Yes, every survey for the last hundred years has demonstrated that man has fallen away from the inerrancy of God's word. Oh, try to imagine that. This is God's living word. There are 62,247 interconnections between God's word and within scripture. authenticating every word of God. Yes, we see already in 1948 when the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in Israel where the Assyrians had buried them, that buried word 2,000 years old when compared with the scripture of today, that it was exactly the same. Yes, God's Word is true. God's Word is authentic. God's Word is inerrant, infallible. Nothing can fail, not one jot or tittle. But believing only with our minds is radically different than believing with all of our soul. Heart, mind, body, soul, and strength than applying the principles of completed Scripture inerrancy to all things, to everything that is happening in our lives, day by day, second by second. Yes, believing without applying it to our lives is worthless religion. God demands 100% of the Christian heart, mind, body, soul, and strength, or he wants nothing of us at all. He wants nothing of such Chino-Christians at all, Christians in name only, of which abounds today. No application to what they are supposed to believe, what they read out of God's Word, they are multiple-choice Christians who add their own caveats, their own interpretations, whatever pleases them. That's not inerrancy. God repeatedly and bitterly laments that the Christian hypocrisy in inerrancy, saying in Matthew 18, verse 8, This people draw nigh unto me with their mouth and honor me with their lips. But their heart is far from me. God wants and demands our full heart, not our corrupt minds, our twisted tongues and our connived beliefs. oh read out of revelations 22 verse 12 and behold i come quickly and my reward is with me to give every man according as his work shall be and my reward is with me to give every man according to his work I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life. and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. I, Jesus, have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bride in the morning star. And the spirit and the bride said, Come, and let him that heareth say, Come, and let him that is athirst come, and whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely. 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. And if any man shall take away from the words of this book of 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. He which testifies these things saith, surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so come Lord Jesus. And then as further scripture Peter 1 verse 20. All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. And 1 John 2 verse 5. But whosoever keepeth this word in him, verily is the love of God perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him. He has said, he that abideth in me ought also to walk in me even as he walked. Yes, our hypothesis this morning then, or today, is the inerrancy of God's word which dominates Christendom today in some degree or another. Some less, some greater, but all profoundly evil. Yes, today an exceedingly high percentage of Christendom, clearly evidence in all the black and white research gleaned from thousands of studies and surveys taken during the last hundred years. Many Christians, a high percentage, do not actually apply the full, complete inerrancy of Scripture to their lives. Oh, with their mind, they may believe it. With their mouth, they may praise God. With their tongue, they may sing of His glory. But God says that most profound reality, their hearts, are far from me. Yes, you can read about those 32 apostasies where God destroyed his own church throughout history. It's not my word. It's God's word. It's history that cannot lie. Yes, our sermon is about inerrancy. And when you bring it up to within Christendom, certainly almost every Christian claims to believe in the full inerrancy of Scripture. Yes, they become angry when you tell them they do not believe in inerrancy. But that evidence quickly becomes front and center evidence when they are confronted with their open and obvious hypocrisy in the specifics, when they apply their unique conditions, their unique exceptions, their qualifications, their caveats, their revisions, their reinterpretations, their unique circumstances. their historical culture, their equivocations, their human reasonings, they all begin to come out, which abundantly illustrates that most Christians today actually believe only in air and sea for a part of the Bible. They do not want to believe in 100% inerrancy, not in the inerrancy written by scripture in the grandmaster blueprint for the universe. No, as they professed loudly that they believe inerrancy on the surface of their words, that seems solid. But let us in this morning take a closer look gaping holes can be seen. And where there are holes in inerrancy, any part of it negates the whole part of it. Yes, to believe in full inerrancy means believing and applying every word in scripture concerning every element of the universe which God created. No, it is not just thinking with our mind, believing, speaking with our mouth. But how do we apply inerrancy? Oh, as we see in this sermon, so many fail to apply inerrancy, the verbatim inerrancy of God's Word. word, who created out of nothing, must obviously be infinitely above his creation in decreeing all that is, or will be, or will happen within his universe. Those 62,000 interrelated correspondence within scripture Oh, that is impossible for a man to do one of those, much less 62,000 of them to all coordinate, to all work together. It is God's word that is inerrant. Man messes it up. Man destroys it. Yes, scriptural inerrancy means believing every word in scripture concerning anything that God writes. Yes, he did not. But yes, if God said he created a new universe every one of the 53 trillion seconds since this Earth's creation, I would believe it. I would have no problem believing it. if he had said that, which he has not. But if he had said that, of course we would have to believe his word, even though it doesn't fit in the confines of our puny finite mind. Yes, at God's word it comes or he simply speaks and at his word his command comes forth and it stands fast. Oh, Christians today have such a small gun, such a puny gun, such a weak gun, who they imagine stands in heaven wringing his hands in despair and in agony as he watches earth's mankind. constantly fail. They imagine God paces restlessly in heaven, saying, oh, I hope so-and-so don't do that. Oh, I hope so-and-so don't do that. That is not God of the scripture. That is not God at all. It is an interpretation of God made by man's foolish imaginations of a God, a false God. God is not wringing his hands in heaven hoping that man doesn't go this direction or that direction. That is nonsense. That is a lie. We're those who say there is no God, they are liars. No, it's just man's foolish inventions of a false God that we see rampant in Christendom today. In Psalm 2, we see God laughing at such human reasoning, laughing such human reasoning to scorn. As he holds every heart in his almighty hand, and he can turn it as he wills, as water in his hand. Yes, even the king's heart. God is in control. God is in inerrant control. God is in infallible control. Remember, not only is God infinitely higher than all of us, not only are his ways higher than man's ways, but God's standards are much higher than man's standards. God counts a hateful thought, a hateful word, or a hateful deed as robbery. as murder. He also counts a lustful look as adultery. He counts every instant of envy of your neighbor as covetousness. He counts lukewarmness as serving him in hypocrisy. He counts disobedience as idolatry. He counts mixing Jehovah worship with human worship as syncretic hypocrisy. Yes, God's standards are much higher than ours. Indeed, one of the smallest sinful thoughts of our mind, not repented of, not covered by the blood of Jesus Christ is so deadly serious and so offensive to God that it will be punished in hell forever and ever and ever. Oh, do you think about it? The smallest human thought that is not done by faith is a sinful thought. and it deserves hell. So righteous, so high, so exalted, so holy is our God. So lowly are we humans as worms in the dust. Yes, oh Lord, we plead with thee as we fall before thy great white throne of judgment. Touch our unclean lips with the coal from the sacred altar that we may speak unto thee, O Lord, and plead with thee, cover me in the blood, cover me in the blood, cover me in the blood. Yes, God is very serious about smallest. Not one sin unforgiven shall enter into heaven. And not believing every one of his words in the Bible is one of the deadliest sins. The sin of inerrancy, of failing to believe inerrancy is vital, is paramount, is hyper-exceedingly critical. eternally serious beyond all words. Yes, if you in your church believe that some part of God's word is not inerrant, even the smallest word, the smallest jot, the smallest tittle, oh, then I must tell you on the authority of God's word, unless that sin is forgiven. You shall hear God's word at the closed gate. Depart from me, workers of iniquity. I never knew you. Yes, one of the highest sins, then, is to not believe in God's word verbatim, to not believe what he has written for and to apply. Yes, we see Christendom in our day participating, it seems, in gusto, in violating scriptural inerrancy with little or no thought of how they offend God. A great, great evil exists in Christendom today. saying that because our puny finite human minds cannot fathom something in the Bible, cannot fathom something that God has said, I will not believe it until it can be proven. Yes, because our finite minds cannot fathom something so unspeakable, so awesome, so fathomably huge, so incalculably holy, then we humans will not believe it. That's what they say. We will not believe the parts of God's word that we can't believe, that we can't fathom, that we can't comprehend. Oh, and you only need to look at creation's story. Genesis, such a high, high percentage of Christendom today. Do not believe some part of Genesis. Some believe none of it. Believe God didn't even write it. Oh, scriptural such make-believe Christians, all such false Christians. For we do not believe in every word which God says in his word on the subjects of agriculture, art, architecture, architecture, astronomy, archeology, anthropology, business, biology, communication, chemistry, education, engineering, environment, forestry, family, economics, geography, history. Oh, you name all the fields that there are in scripture, where God speaks about mathematics, for example, then his word is accurate, even though we have various things in mathematics that still are not resolved today. Oh, scientists regularly are discovering something new in space that goes against every theory that they have developed. They say light cannot travel faster than 187,000 miles per second. But then they forget that they also believe in the concept that something on this side of space becomes the same thing on the other side of space 13.8 billion years later. Yes, scientists are the most conflicted of all people. They refuse to believe in the Word of God. Oh, there can be nothing more foolish. Then for we with our puny finite minds who say, because I cannot understand that which God is saying, or I cannot comprehend that which God has said in his word. Therefore, because it is not within my human scope of understanding, then it can not be true. Oh, that is the state of Christendom in so many areas today. Because their human mind cannot fathom that God created the earth out of nothing instantaneously. He simply spoke and it was. When they say, oh, I can't believe a God can be so big, can be so powerful. Therefore, because I can't comprehend it, it cannot be true. Oh, can you imagine the foolishness of such thinking? God who has created our mind is far, far, far above our minds. The fact that we can't comprehend God proves God. For if we could comprehend God, then God would have to be underneath of us. God would have to be inferior to us. No, all those who say that scripture cannot be inherent in this area or that area or this place or that caveat or that exception are liars. God scoffs at such liars. My ways are wiser than God's ways. Oh God says so emphatically, so differently. My ways are infinitely above your ways. My thoughts are infinitely above your thoughts. Oh man that I have created, who compared to me as but as a worm of the dust. Oh, come before me in repentance. There is blood at the foot of the cross to cover your error. There is still the time of grace, the day of salvation. God has not yet closed But they will not be those who persist in believing, not believing in the inerrancy of Scripture. No, they, such ones, can never believe unless God works conversion within them. Yes, there are so Our previous generation would laugh them to scorn. Anyone a generation ago who said, I don't believe the word of God as a Christian, yet I am a Christian. Oh, how our godly forefathers would laugh them to scorn. But they abound today. I know of a minister who is a highly respected leader within conservative or reformed Christendom, who insists he believes in the full inerrancy of God's word. Oh yes, he becomes angry if you tell him he doesn't. Yet, yet, Yet he openly writes and says, I do not believe that God created the earth in six 24 hour days. I believe in evolution and it took 13.8 billion years for God to form the earth. And until God can prove this to me, I will continue to believe in science. and the evolution of earth over 13.8 billion years, rather than the book of Genesis, the Bible, which tells me God created the earth instantaneously by his word. Yes, I can see with my own eyes, evolution is real. I believe science until God proves differently. Oh, what an awful position. What awful herency. Oh, how much this But we see in any one area where you do not believe in the inerrancy of God's word, you are no different than this man. You will go to no different place than this man. A lie is a lie. An unforgiven lie cannot enter heaven. Oh, what a deluded man such are who do not believe in the inerrancy of God's Word and apply it to their life, not just believe with their mind, but practice with the heart, mind, body, soul, and strength, striving in the blood of Jesus Christ. In what I cannot believe with my mind, In what I cannot fathom with my mind, in what I cannot comprehend with my mind, I know that God is right, that God is true, and that his word is inerrant. Oh, imagine the deluded person. not believing in scriptural inerrancy because he imagines that he is wiser than God, that he knows more than the scriptures. Oh, how evident this is in this generation, in this one of many, many, many examples in Christendom today. God says, that they will believe a lie. Oh, in another example, Muller of England in the 1830s entered a seminary to become a minister, but he was unregenerated. Unconverted, he imagined he could preach the word of God, but unexpectedly God regenerated Muller to the light of Jesus Christ. He sat down in amazement, and now at his blindness that he had so lacked the full belief in the inerrancy Yet he set out to be a minister. And now he set out among the 600 other seminary students who were planning to be ministers to find out how many of them also knew the mystery of God, knew the pearl of great price. He talked to each of them. To his amazement, Mueller found only four people out of the 600 who were truly converted, who were truly knowledgeable about Jesus Christ in their hearts, who had received a new heart, who had been changed from darkness to light. four out of the 600. Oh, then you may ask the obvious question, what happened to those other 596 people who were in a seminary and God hadn't converted yet were going to become ministers? What happened to those 596 Why, they became ministers in the field of the gospel. They became ministers preaching darkness to darkness. They walked in the ditch themselves and preached more people into a deeper ditch. Yes, that was over 200 years ago that Muller found that great conundrum. So many of the seminary class did not believe in Jesus Christ, who they planned to preach as ministers of the gospel. Oh, sadly, it is no different today. When you do not believe in the full inerrancy of God's Word, you are no different than the 595 of Mueller's seminary class. And even though you may be preaching God's Word, even though you may be a minister of a large church, of a powerful following, You are not believing in the inerrancy of God's Word. You are preaching darkness, the blind leading the blind. Oh, it is not a new phenomenon, but it is more abundant in this phenomenon than ever before of how our godly forefathers did see this and were astonished in amazement when they saw a minister who didn't believe in the inerrancy of God's Word preaching His darkness to the people. They already saw so much of this strange hypocrisy in their day. They rightly said, hell, the bottom of hell, must be paved with false Christian ministers. Oh, Jesus sees it, God sees it, looking down from heaven. If you have a minister who does not believe in the full inerrancy of God's Word and does not apply that to his preaching and to your and his They are believing a delusion. And yes, yes, Jesus warns us there are many, because Jesus said many shall come in my name and shall deceive many. Believe them not. Oh, it abounds today. Above all, let us be honest. Be honest with your soul. No one can deceive God. You can deceive man. You can deceive millions of people. But the truth will one day hit you in the face. God knows your very thoughts. You think you are so cunning. that you are able to deceive everyone in the world, telling them you are not a hypocrite. But if you believe, do not believe in the inerrancy of God's Word, you are not deceiving the Almighty. No, no, no. house tops. No sin, unforgiven sin, can enter heaven. None, zero, zilch, nada. If you believe otherwise, you are only deceiving yourself. If you disbelieve some part of the Bible, even the smallest part, then you are the And unless you repent, unless the blood of Jesus Christ covers you, you cannot enter heaven. Yes, God says, I will send them a great delusion. Huntington wrote over 200 years ago when he worked for a certain rich noble lady, who always kept a Bible at ready reach on a shelf near her door. And whenever she saw a visitor coming to her door, she quickly grabbed her Bible down from the shelf and sat down and greeted them, reading the Bible so that it became known throughout the country. Here was a woman, no matter when you came to her door, she was reading the Bible. Everyone in the countryside believed she was a well-versed, genuine Christian, always reading her Bible. They never seen her without the Bible. Yet Huntington, who worked beside her, for her, testified that he doubted she had ever turned even one page in her Bible in all those years that he worked for her. Oh, imagine the hypocrisy. God sees it. We're not fooling God. Do not be so foolish. Yes, that litmus test scriptural inerrancy, and that means that you do not limit God's authority in his word, but that you also strive to apply everything that God says in his word concerning any of the 40 of the major fields of his creation. Oh, we have listed them already, all the different fields of that God has created perfectly. Oh, do you harbor any reservations about what God says about anything? Oh, if so, then you are not following the path of inerrancy. No, you are believing a lie. Peter said on the Mount of Transfiguration, any road of seeing the transfiguration of Jesus Christ Yet, he says, we have a greater testimony. The Word of God, the inerrancy of God's Word was a greater testimony than Peter seeing Jesus being transfigured. Oh, so powerful, so important, so in the Word of God. No, I'm not a prophet. Perished a very thought. But fortunately, it does not take a prophet to see this. We have the completed Word of God. From one generation to this generation, we can see there has been 100% disbelief in the inerrancy of God's Word. Yes, even a kindergartner can understand that obeying God's Word is critical. Disobeying God's Word is evil. And yes, even the smallest thought in the blood of Jesus Christ. Oh yes, I do not preach this to be popular to you. All of over of God's ministers that he has sent to the earth who have preached the inerrancy of God's word were very unpopular men, hated by Christendom for telling them the truth. For men love darkness rather than light. And when they refuse to stop preaching the Word of God, they are hated yet the more. Oh, we see this in this generation. Oh, remember, all sin is hated by God and cannot enter heaven. But to sin as a heathen is far different, far less to sin than a Christian. who in a Christian's sins is zillions of times worse than the sins of a heathen. Yes, that's zillions of times worse with a Z. Striving under the blood of Jesus Christ is paramount. Obedience, unconditional obedience is the key we see from scripture in 1 Samuel 15 verse 22. And the Lord and Samuel said, the Lord's great delight has no great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as obeying the words, the voice of the Lord, his words. Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity, because they have rejected the word of God. He has rejected them. Oh, as we close this morning, the inerrancy of God's word is verbatim inerrancy. one jot, one tittle, you are not believing in the inerrancy of God's word. And I must tell you, unless, based upon God's word, unless you repent of that sin and be washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, you will find a closed door at heaven's gate.
