YOU CAN'T EDIT THE BIBLE TO BE RELEVANT IN JUSTIFYING A SIN; IF SO YOU HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE AUTHOR'S INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.



THE BIBLE HAS HELD TRUE OVER CENTURIES. EVEN THOUGH IT DATES BACK THOUSANDS OF YEARS, IT STANDS THE TEST OF TIME AND IS STILL RELEVANT AND SURPASSES THE UNDERSTANDING OF MODERN MAN.

YOU CAN'T EDIT THE BIBLE TO BE RELEVANT IN JUSTIFYING YOUR SIN.
THE LORD GOD GIVES US STERN WARNINGS ABOUT CHANGING HIS WORD

 IF SO YOU HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD THE AUTHOR'S INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO LIVE YOUR LIFE.

WE MUST FOLLOW THE SCRIPTURES AND APPLY THE INSTRUCTIONS TO OUR LIFE:

 GOD IS UNCHANGEABLE. GOD'S WORD IS UNCHANGEABLE TOO. IN MATTHEW 24:35, THE LORD JESUS SAID, "HEAVEN AND EARTH SHALL PASS AWAY, BUT MY WORDS SHALL NOT PASS AWAY." 

WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THE BIBLE IS A SPIRITUAL BOOK AND IS UNDERSTANDABLE TO THOSE WHO ARE LED BY GOD'S SPIRIT. IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR THE NATURAL MAN TO UNDERSTAND IT (I CORINTHIANS 2:14), HENCE PARAPHRASING OR SIMPLIFYING IT WILL DO NO GOOD. 

THE BIBLE IS NOT SUPPOSED TO READ LIKE A FAIRY TALE--PETER SAID, "FOR WE HAVE NOT FOLLOWED CUNNINGLY DEVISED FABLES" (II PETER 1:16).

REVELATION 22:18-19, 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 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.

PROVERBS 30:5-6, EVERY WORD OF GOD IS PURE: HE IS A SHIELD UNTO THEM THAT PUT THEIR TRUST IN HIM. ADD THOU NOT UNTO HIS WORDS, LEST HE REPROVE THEE, AND THOU BE FOUND A LIAR.

THE BIBLE IS A COMPILATION OF 66 DIFFERENT BOOKS

-WRITTEN BY MORE THAN 40 DIFFERENT AUTHORS

TIME ERAS,
MOST OF THESE AUTHORS NEVER MET EACH OTHER-- YET THROUGHOUT ALL 66 DIFFERENT BOOKS, EVERY AUTHOR HAD ONE THEME- GOD'S PLAN OF REDEMPTION FOR HUMANITY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST WITHOUT A CONTRADICTION

WHERE WE COME FROM
WHY WE WERE CREATED
WHERE WE ARE GOING
