The Bible is the Word of God!



Me ~ If the Bible is the inerrant Word of God then that should mean that all of the universe with the heavens and earth are also inerrant = perfectly true. Shouldn't it? 

John ~ Yes and No. Yes, because the Bible as the Word of God tells us that the Word of God is true and that all of God's creation is true. Anything created by God would be created perfectly and perfectly true. However, we are told that this world is a fallen world. Which gives us a No answer as that implies the universe is not perfectly true since we are told that this is a fallen world. 

And, that would seem to imply to the word as well. But, it does not. Just because the product is broke does not mean the instructions were written improperly and imperfectly. In fact, a broken product implies that the product was once unbroken and was in perfect condition, doesn't it?

You see, we are in a fallen 'corrupted version' of the perfect world which was not by God's doing. It was by our doing because we failed in following the instructions properly. God's version where we used to be is a higher version, an HD version, from which humans are now banned until the second coming.

Me ~ Is there any truth at all in this corrupted version? 

John ~ Yes, but it is not the same HD version. Man simply does not have the ability to see and exist in the HD version. Better would be to say that man's ability has been masked by sin (failure to follow commands) and man was thus clothed in a skin 'garment' which has an expiration date in this version. An event that will collapse the old version and bring forth and or allow a permanent upgrade to the HD version.

We have been introduced to the HD version by and through Jesus Christ. He was/is the conduit or way to the Father and His 'HD' Kingdom. We are told in scripture that in/through Christ the old man 'program' is dead and a new creation exists in Him ~ Jesus Christ.

Me ~ But, still you might yet say - Wouldn't that mean that the Word of God here and now in this fallen world is not perfectly clear to us/may not be true? And, that for some it is foolishness. 

John ~ Yes, that is why the Bible is able to answer itself in most instances (3 copies of the same); also, Jesus spoke in parables so that we would not just see the word and take it as a one dimensional or one bit of information but to go deeper into what was/is the Word by hearing it in the stories He told. And, by sending His Holy Spirit we are now able to discern. 

It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we hear the Word of God and the truth of His Kingdom to come, not see it, as faith comes by hearing not by sight. Man in this fallen version always has to see it to believe it. This is due to the condition of the fallen world.
Me ~ What does the HD version of God's Kingdom look like?

John ~ Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will live with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.”…Revelation 21:1-4.
